New Goth Cowboy Hats 2 pack!!!



Finally, a new style for Goth Cowboy hat series.

Goth Cowboy hat Padova Leather with chains.


1 prim sculpted cowboy hat has baked distressed black leather texture. Instead of hat band, they have prim black chains with metal plate on the side. One with simple metal chain. The other has skull medallion in front of the hat, attached to the chain.
Box of Two variation sells for the price of one.

Some of you might already figured out or read old post that I WILL NOT make hats in all colors in their crayola box like some upstart amateurs.
70's rainbow tie dye, 90's Rave sticks are all things of the past .


This one, I struggled a bit with baked textures to achieve subtle shade and distressed feel. There are so many hat makers, including imitators who use blank texture and color it flat... Or slap the regular texture without baking the shade on it.

It was just that the shape of sculpt prims were constructed. Think about wrapping the hat with square paper . I was trying to paint the leather and shade on square paper. That's the short version of it.
Probably I uploaded different textures close to ten times. I asked one of my friend to fiddle the black and white shade texture on his photoshop, too.

At the end, I am satisfied with the results by this black Italian leather texture. There is another distressed brown texture, but I am not sure if I would use it for products.

86 prim chains were not the hardest part... This time, texture was.

It was totally different creative experience.
