3 versions that dye = a metric butt-load of database entries...one for each color of each version, but it could be done.
Manaserv will support unique items with custom (truly custom, not just 9 predefined colors) dyes for all colorisation channels. Unfortunately the unique item feature is still in the planning phase.

Shaded the ball in both versions.
I like the perspective. knit caps pull like this being quite flexible.


Should this just be blue or should it dye? ...it is finished unless there are more suggestions

I'd go for a dyeable version. There's also the stuff the has already been said about perspective, shading, and outline :

You just restored a lot of my faith in TMW-eA content in a single post.

Thank you for your effort and try to keep it up.

arikel, I can see that view/perspective as a rear view, but this is what I see for approximate shapes. front-left-rear-right
all the clothe hat sprites are very similar... elf...funky...etc...I looked at them all.
the original bottom shape matched the christmas tree hat bottom, so its perspective was probably poor choice for this style hat.
I prefer to work in color before creating grey-scale to be dyable. the left and right views are rotated and need more work.
As I dyed the original greyscales I realized they were too dark as they dyed rather ugly, so i lightened overall tone,

I just need to know that these basic shapes/perspectives are going to be acceptable.
yes the ball will have to be adjusted as well...so they are reacting to gravity better.

Also, the ball should be bigger IMO

Getting closer - a few pixels and anti-alias touches left then I'll convert to dyable image
Lighter pallet dyes much prettier. I did make ball a little bigger as well.
I'll do the xml after dye version is complete.

The little white ball on the top really needs to pop out more IMHO. Here, it seems to be stuck into your head... :mrgreen:

Good job though!

Gave white ball a darker outline...the lost and found edge thing in the snow wasn't working for me.
