Embroidered Archetype Hat

I guess this could qualify as "fan art". I finally got around to actually making the five-archetype embroidered cap I designed a while ago.

Here's a picture, though it's hard to see some of the detail, especially for the tanker. It really does look better than the picture shows. I'll try to get a better picture later, but for now I'm going to bed (I have to go to work in five hours).

Eventually I may also do an embroidered design of one of my characters on a shirt or something, but digitizing a design that complex is a lot more involved.

(In case anyone's curious, I used Embird Studio to digitize the logos, and a Baby Lock EMP6 to do the embroidery on the cap.)

Ooo <@.@> Coolies!

<^_^> Ya know, I'd love to have something similar but with just one archetype symbol dead center. Definitely qualifies for this section imho!

Very cool.. another idea might be the five hero AT symbols surrounding the general hero symbol on a blue patterned hat.

With the opposite (red pattern) for the villian stuff.

Yeah, that would be very cool!

Well, the five symbol one is very cool too!

Oh, could do chest symbols and signature group signals too... so many possibilities...

Okay, I got a better picture of the design.

I'd actually love to make hats and shirts with the AT icons (and SG/chest emblems) for people, but I'm not sure Cryptic/NCSoft would be OK with it.

THAT is pretty spiffy.

*thinks of the sewing machine and embroidery rig in the closet, purchased for the Sig.Other awhile back*

That has to be some kind of contradiction!

I used to know where an embroidery shop was when I lived in alaska.. they'd embroider anything.....

Lol, that's pretty sweet. Just, don't try to sell it or anything. At least, don't sell it unless you have a really, really good lawyer.

Looks very nice ... up close ... a little more contrast would have been nice but it is very cool !

Nice job! I would like to have a scrapper hat or t-shirt similar to the Nike swoosh; Maybe even a polo shirt. Hmm I will have to Photoshop some ideas...

Man why doesn't Cryptic offer more apparel? I think they had the statesman logo shirt at one time. They could do so much...

Those would look totally cool on a Jughead Jones kinda hat.
