I completely missed that the giveaway away was being hosted here too. I entered on reddit even though I try and avoid that place....

Holy crap, these caps are amazing! The level of detail is gorgeous; I'm afraid my photos don't do it justice. I was also lucky enough to have been sent a bonus orange Eye keycap. And it only got better with an bonus bonus Nova Cat on a keychain. I've never felt so lucky before when it came to raffles!

New things in the works... may I present

Budai



This is not his final form. Still a work in progress. Im thinking about having a few different variations of Budai, all with the a similar design but slight variations on certain elements of the form possibly representing the different types of Smiling Buddha. Hope you guys will like!

I definitely plan on doing a gold and a jade colorway.

Small update on Budai: Ive made some changes to the profile and the width of the cap. Its now lower and more skinny. Working on a TMX stem this and next week that may require me to completely scrap the current version and start over. But thats fine as I want this cap to be perfect!

Ill try and get a pic together comparing the versions I have done and the differences sometime in the near future.  :thumb: :thumb:

Yea, wee bit chaotic. The colors are neon pink and jade IRL, the pic doesn't do it much justice. Kinda Miami-esque color scheme. I recently discovered a whole new realm of colorants and ways to deliver the color in resin so im having fun pouring random ****!

I like it too, it is wild but it has a certain elegance to it as all the color flecks are so defined.  It looks like he has a mask on.

Are they flecks of something you added and they settled down in the mold?

The coloring is super sick. The jade is translucent, making the other colors pop out. I agree, a bit chaotic, but the concept is awesome.

Also I see teeth behind the top lip? Crazy detail  :thumb:

Updates:

Ive been slammed at work last last month or so, and I was also forced to move my entire casting operation so I been kinda slacking on getting everything up and going again basically due to working too much. Ive managed to start a few molds but not much too much going on right now.

Currently im still working on Budai, I needed to clear some issues up with how wide he was so I gave him smaller beads and made him lower by a good amount (even though you cant tell in the pic below). Heres a pic of the 3 revisions ive gone thru, and I think I might like the V1.5 the best and would love to hear your guys opinion on which one you like more out of v1.5 or v2. The only difference between v1.5 and v2 is the bead ends and the positioning.





I had some success with a TMX stem and I did some testing and ended up not liking the fit 100% so im in the process of making revisions to the TMX stem. Budai is being produced as MX and ALPS anyway though. I dont really have any type of time for a huge sale for a while until my IRL work cools off unfortunately. Sign up for my mailing list to get the info on what is going on with my caps! (https://goo.gl/forms/2mkIzuiUCYUURfLI3)


Also donated these for tinymakesthings charity raffle that just happened yesterday! Great job tiny!

V2 is definitely my favourite - V1 has a bit too much going on and v1.5 kinda just feels like a less perfected V2.
