As a future artist for games I try to be reserved when I critique art work within the game, I try to understand the artists purpose and point of view when they create. (except the soga team, leave that shit in china or wherever the hell it came from please)
I'm having a hard time figuring out where this hat comes from, it really would be nice if one of EQ2s artist posted and told us where the idea originated. I think the hat looks really, really cool, but not for a Conjurer. It is too late for a change, but for now my fantasy is that they ditch the burlap head wrap and mask but keep the circlet. I'm just not a fan of hats that consume my characters entire head, and I'm mainly against hair altering helms too which is why I like the Warden and Fury hats.
I had always envisioned the Conjurer helm to be something like the picture below. This gypsy head scarf look,
in my opinion, would be a spectacular choice for the class, complete with over sized earrings and patterns on the scarf that could consist of conjuring symbols and patterns complete with its own hair style similar to the swashbuckler hat... of course those who play male characters might not like this.
If any of EQ2s artist read this, take what I'm asking as a plea, I'm begging you now, as someone who loves EQ2s art style (not soga) and wants more customizations in game (not more soga) to please don't let the designs end here, give us even more class helms, hair styles and anything else your creative minds can come up with.
Because some day I might be sitting in your seat and I'd like a bar to reach that has been set very high.
