It's nothing special, but the cap demanded it that way. I could have made it look cooler by replacing the background, but one thing (apart from Mulder and Scully looking cool with their badge holders, obviously) that drew me to that cap was the color of the walls. That's the actual color, heh!
One day I should make a post about ways to deal with resized caps that are less than 100px wide/high and ask how to deal with that in style. I have my own ways, but ain't always happy with them. What I did here was to draw more background. The wall part was easy, it's just straight lines. The cap ended with the darkest part of Mulders hair above his forehead. To give him the top of his hair, I looked for caps from the same scene (because lighting in important), but could find any at the right angle, so I had to draw. Generally I can't draw for shit, but here it turned out really well.
