[Giveaway] KBK Mummy II topre
« on: Mon, 18 August 2014, 08:04:12 »
I decided to give away this Topre Mummy II because I don't have any Topre boards and someone should be using this beautiful key.







How to win:

Post a picture of your Topre keyboard with a blank key where you would put this Mummy II. Then recreate that image with paint, Photoshop, Gimp, etc (don't just apply a filter, get creative). I'm interested in both pictures for comparison.

I will run the contest for a week until next Monday the 25th sometime in the evening EST. Winner will be selected by my wife who is a graphics/game designer.

Good luck!

How thoughtful! Thanks for doing this, sir. That is a nice looking cap that would look great on my HHKB. I'll take some pictures when I get home from work tonight!

Cheers!

Oohh, it's yellow(ish)!

And Topre!

And I do not have a Mummy, or a KBK of any kind!

Rowdy starts planning ...

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Work in reverse order then, start with your digital painting and then snap a photo when the keyboard arrives. I can always extend the deadline if people want more time, but I'm not expecting masterpieces or anything. I just want people to have fun while being creative.

I am not an artist, but do I qualify if I draw on an iPad instead? I think drawing with my finger is easier than mouse!

Oooh, I'll be in for this. I have a few Topre boards that I need a key for. Missed out on the last two sets of Bro Caps on [CTRL]ALT and I dig on these KBKs, too. I'll art it up over the weekend!

EDIT: Jesus, drawing a keyboard takes a long time. Finally got a photo I like, though.

Surprise to see no entry. I have been working on mine for the whole weekend and was enjoying myself. So here's my entry:

This is where I will put the Mummy. Mummy is a dead Pharaoh, right? So it deserved to be protected by skulls:


And here's my iPad drawing using just my fingers. I use the app called Papers.



And this

I might as well post my entry now as well, since I'll probably forget to do it while at work tomorrow.

This was done with MSPaint using a mouse.  It took a bit of time this weekend, but I've been having a lot of fun doodling around with MSPaint recently, and this was a nice way to take a break from work.  And well, I just love Mummies. :)

Thanks Daniel for the really fun contest idea.  :thumb:

Final version of my drawing, with Refresh'n Lemon Mummy included for fun:



Animated progress gif, using some intermediate images that I had saved just in case I screwed up badly and needed to revert. :)

Nice work, man!  I've never used Papers before.  Also, I tried drawing on my iPad once.  I thought it would be easier to draw with a finger, but for me my finger was just too big, haha.

Haha, MSPaint takes some getting used to.  I stopped using the straight line tool, since for me the overall image seems to look better when everything is equally squiggly and ghetto looking. :)

Sorry about the delay declaring the winner. Being out of work I've had other stuff on my mind and have not really been on geekhack much lately. My wife really like naasfu's design so he is the winner. I'll contact him for his shipping information.
