- Update/Statement Feb 18, 2021 -I've been asked a few times for a status update, especially in light of recent concerns stemming from recently shipped IFK sets. Comfy has always been a set that (somehow) ran with little to no renders. The renders on the product pages were made right before GB period so I've always been firm to trust the photographs of the prototypes. Photos can be found in the IC/GB threads, on Alexotos's social media and stream, and my Instagram page. The only renders I have personally help develop are the renders that you might have seen on
Aether Hemera's Daedalus. Thus, expect the colors to match the prototypes, not any renders that you might spot on product pages.
I have been in regular contact with TKC to ensure that the colors of the keycaps and the deskmats match my vision and the prototypes. I did not make changes to the keycap colors so the production sets should match the colors of the protos. The only changes I made were to correct some legends. I'm working to try to see if I can get photos of the production set or at least confirmation that the legends look good/are aligned. The prototypes had a few alignment issues but part of that were due to errors on the files I had initially sent. I might have mentioned in some places during/right after GB that the dark blue might be adjusted to be 5% lighter than the protos but that has been scrapped - the colors being produced will be the colors of the prototypes.
Deskmats are awaiting 2nd samples to ensure the colors match the renders. Since I had initially used TPG/TPX pantones and IFK dyesub uses uncoated pantones - the colors used are technically 'custom' since there aren't direct equivalent uncoated pantones to match. Similarly the deskmats needed updated reference colors (Coated Pantones rather than the TPG/TPX chips) after the first samples since it is on cloth and not plastic so I provided the following pantones to ensure that the deskmats match the renders as much as possible:
PANTONE 4032 C PANTONE 4138 C PANTONE 4156 C Hopefully that helps address some concerns people have about Comfy. No one wants this set to work out smoothly as much as I do
. I will continue to update with more info as I learn more.
TL;DR - the keycaps will match the prototype that I've spammed photos of. Deskmats will match renders of the mat shared during IC/GB. I will update with deskmat sample photos when I receive them.
