a form of pillow shading in my book. but again you are never right when dusti is around.

The rim is lit from the exact same light source as the cylindric part of the hat, just not as drastically. The top is lit up as well, again, not as drastically. I overdid my highlights and didn't use bright enough tones on both the rim and the top part. That still doesn't make it pillow shading, and I don't even feel bad about it, because I'm not a graphics guy; I'm a coder.

I actually feel good about it, because I know more about graphics than you do, and it shows. Hooray!
