Great Idea for a hat... but...
- The hat looks a little boxy, learn how to anti-alias.
- Learn how to shade.(and maybe dither)
- If the blacks color # is 000000 change it to 262626 so it is not transparent.
- Make the feathers more realistic looking.
- Make the black a darker shade of your primary color you are using currently.
- Good luck with the hat. ;)
- Make the outline a little better.
- Might want to post something like this here: http://www.graalians.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17
Don't understand? I'll post a tutorial later about this Graphical Stuff.
