Orly?

chwang · « **Reply #2 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 09:21:02 »

Orly? Sorry for not posting in classifieds, I have to reach a post count of 50 before I 'upgrade' my status. The Zombie pudding you see above is actually one of our first 'experimental' keycaps, so the finish isn't as smooth as I wanted it to be (like the new Tiger ones). Theres a couple of requests for the Zombie pudding already through my PM.

I thought Green and Purple would be good complementing colours, do you want one with a blue base instead?

Cheers,
Jason

fartq · « **Reply #3 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 09:26:45 »

what other color combos does your SO think would work? you're right, the neon green might clash a bit with a blue

chwang · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 09:47:31 »

This is where I got inspiration from:

(taken from Google image search)

and:

I think all those colour schemes are pretty sick

mkawa · « **Reply #5 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 09:54:17 »

how about black on green? (ie, black sludge, green cap)

chwang · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 09:59:04 »

BTW shameless plug for anyone whose interested in my work:

Anyone interested? A couple have been snatched up already. They looks pretty sick on Blank Otaku style keyboards.

Black sludge on green cap could work, I'll see what I can whip up and post a pic when I'm done.

DanGWanG · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 10:08:38 »

I really like the green sludge on purple (mkawa's first pic). Please let me buy one also =)

chwang · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 10:28:34 »

Thanks for your interest DanGWanG. I'll be making two Zombie Puddings with green sludge on purple with higher quality finishes. Will post up when I finish!

DanGWanG · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 11:08:34 »

Excellent! Please please sell me one =)

I am also very interested in one of these. Either the sludge or the tiger striped ones.

chwang · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 17:36:28 »

wow nice set-up you got there

Ragnorock · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 20:32:04 »

Hey, I just got a message from you on Reddit today. I was wondering where I'd end up finding you on GH! Those look awesome man, I'll probably pick one up in a couple of weeks. Maybe you could do a gloss black with red stripes for me by then? Hehehe

chwang · « **Reply #21 on:** Thu, 02 August 2012, 21:22:09 »

Thanks for everyones replies! I'll be away on a skitrip this weekend, so apologies if I can't reply to everyones PM in a timely manner

I'll get back to replying once I'm back on Monday sorry guys!

As an estimate I'll have a complete inventory of around ten (10) keycaps, varying in colour and style (Tiger, White Tiger, Zombie Tiger, Sludge + Special requests), addressed in a first come first serve basis, so it if VERY limited!

If things pick up they'll definitely be a Round 2. I'll have to order some more keycaps from Signature Plastics. Was thinking of doing some spherical keycaps maybe?

Just for the record I do have a day job so this is a nice side hobby I'd like to share with the GH community! (i.e. not doing this fulltime).

Cheers,
Jason

consider their glow-in-the-dark and translucent materials! DCS profile caps tend to match with our other caps best, but if you can do something particularly cool with the sphericals, have at it!

Halverson · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 03 August 2012, 00:27:47 »

Just the thickness of those, gahhh love themmm. Would love something of this sort, the green on purple ones look sweet. Hopefully I can pick one up.

chwang · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 09:43:06 »

Heres a sneak peek at our work in progress.....

Ample Green Sludge on Purple, some special request Sludges and Tigers too.

Will start invoicing the first ten people that had PM'd me.

Apologies for the delay in invoicing, I don't feel comfortable invoicing people until I'm sure I have a shippable product

OrangeJewce · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 09:55:30 »

The sludge is so cool... Please do a round 2!

Will definitely be in the pipework! I've actually run out of DCS Row 5s from Signature Plastics so thats why I haven't made more for now.

mkawa_: your Black Sludge on Green Cap is in the background there waiting to be Slimed!

DanGWanG · « **Reply #28 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 10:05:30 »

chWANG, I can't wait for these! Looks so awesome...

Maybe we can do a little trade? =) http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34459.0

OrangeJewce · « **Reply #36 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 12:19:07 »

If you look at the OPs response he states he'll invoice the first 10 pms he's ALREADY received. Therefore, it's a pretty safe assumption the keys are accounted for.

MMB · « **Reply #37 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 12:22:34 »

How about just asking chwang instead of assuming.

It's not really an assumption, more of a deduction based on the premise:

"Will start invoicing the first ten people that had PM'd me."

Conclusion:
Ten people have pmed him in the past and they will be getting the first 10 caps.

If you're going to troll me, do it right.

Sounds like you're the one trolling. You seem to have an agenda of riling up everyone in every post you involve yourself in. I was merely stating that you should go to the source first.
But I am glad you think you are special enough for me to waste my time 'trolling' you. You really aren't that special.

I apologize if my posts make you feel that way. I also apologize if referencing the source directly, in context, is not sufficient to at least afford evidence to my earlier comments. It is not my intent to "rile" anyone up. I think you are referring to one particular topic I felt very passionately about, and the discussion had already been started prior. Generalizing that I have some hidden agenda to anger people or that I possibly enjoy such a thing is insulting and wrong.

Cheers,

DanGWanG · « **Reply #41 on:** Thu, 09 August 2012, 12:53:09 »

Why is every post I read some sort of rant or complaint or explanation of wrong doings?

Anyway, chwang, keep up the good work....even though I don't think I was one of the first 10 to PM you, I hope you will make some more for me to purchase at some point in time =)

You 'feel passionately' about trying to prove people wrong. I see that in most of your posts. It's ok to be passionate, just try it in a less confrontational way.
