Metroid: The hat battle.
shadowsinthenyte \| 11:11 PM on 09.18.2009	13 comments

As some as you know I crochet. I've talked about my works before. Normally I'm very sure of exactly what I want in my finished product. But I've run into a bit of a snag. I've got two different prototype Metroid hat models. One is an almost perfect representation of the original NES Metroid. The other is more of a stylized interpretation. I like elements of both. But I'm not quite sure if I should go with, one, the other or combine the two for the final version. So I'm looking for some feedback. Tell me what you like or don't like about each of the prototypes. Prototype "A" on the left is the original version, prototype "B" on the right is the stylized.

The "B" hat may look a little shorter that the "A". That would be fixed in the final version.

I like prototype A better, it is a more dynamic design and catches the eye better. The only possible issue I see is the "flap" on the front, it could become a little irritating after extended use. Prototype B looks more like a generic, but still very handsome, hat. The three iconic dots are a little to far apart in my opinion, but i really like the trim. I could go further in depth if you want on both.

TL;DR DO WANT!

Very nice! I much prefer the one on the left. Maybe you could try adding a little bit of the trim from Version B around the base of Version A so it doesn't look too head-crabby.

O MAI GAWD , I would totally buy this shit ! DO WANT!

I would do a mix of the two, Model A is too long and B is too short :p

Awesome awesome awesome stuff ! I love it!

I like the one on the right a bit more, but they are both great.

I like them both a lot, but I think "A" looks slightly better. I'd wear one.

Krow

I prefer A, if only because it appears to be latched on to the glass head.

The A looks better, the B kinda looks like a turtle shell

I like the look of A better, but still both are great :)

Skree! Nicely done, and I second what Megastryke said.

Mirax

Wow, these are great! I like both, A is more Metroid-like but B looks more easy to use as a hat. So yeah, they're awesome.

I would buy prototype A :D

But B is nice too!

about me

My grandfather got me my first console; it was an NES. I fell in love with RPG's thanks to FF7 in highschool. My husband introduced me to manga and anime in college; it all went downhill from there. You can pry my '95 Mustang GT convertible (with the Windsor 5.0) out of my cold, dead hands. I like a broad variety of game types, but most FPS's give me simulation sickness, which blows. I was inspired to create game based hats after seeing a Neko hat from some con pictures. I figured I could do much cooler job.
