GMK Pharaoh Deskmat Reveal

Presenting the 2 deskmats we have been working behind the background! Some of you have already seen the sneak peak but here is the real deal!

Artifact 1 : Giza Nights :



Artifact 2: Ankh



I would really appreciate if you could leave some feedback/ comments.

Simply astounding!!! My recommendation would be for Giza Nights to add maybe some gold on the temple in the background? It kind of lacks that Black/Gold theme that the keycaps have, and I'd say doesn't fit as much as the Ankh does. I'm simply in love with both and will buy them both anyways!!!

Thanks for the kind feedback. Much appreciated.

The reason for keeping the to make is more pleasing. The nightscape one has elements on both sides. So a small amount of gold would just emphasize that area. We did try this but were not satisfied with the end result.
The ankh on the other hand is a single element which needed to pop out of the hieroglyphics and hence the yellow.

 I will be contacting the other vendors of the set to see if they will also be selling this alongside the keycaps.

Yes it does.
The right eye or the eye of Ra represents the sun, protective, symbol of luck and masculine/ yang energy. On the other hand lies the eye of Horus, representing the moon, protective and feminie/yin energy. In the middle lies the Ankh , the symbol of life.
Basically what I wanted to point out is that there are 2 balancing forces which encircles our lives and this is the depiction.

Some updates:

1. Officially we are waiting for 2 months for GMK to send us quotes. This project is extremely complicated and I want to see to it that everything is done correctly. Since all work is done ( minus any changes if GMK requests) , we will announce GB dates when we receive quotes from GMK.

2. Rama designs have been submitted and we are waiting on renders from them. I can make unofficial renders but I rather wait for Rama to send us the official ones.

3. For this set, we will have multiple metal artisans ( some in the GB format and some more in the raffle style). I am waiting for some exquisite artisan protos from a few artisan makers to show you guys!

4. There will be wrist rest collabs as well in different meterials. Also waiting for proto pics to share.

5. Resin artisans: you bet! We have confirmed collabs with the best artisan makers in this hobby. I will share all new shortly.

6. High end Keyboard collab : There is ongoing discussions with a very custom and limited (10 , all numbered) collab. Once this is finalized I will share.

7. Keyboard sleeves : Yes sir, we have also collaborating with some great makers to give you guys some options to cover those sexy keyboards of yours.

8. Mouse: Do you really want a Egypt themed setup with a normal looking mouse? I hope not! We are in discussions with leonardodamouse to prepare a themed mouse paint job for you guys.

Plenty more collabs and news in the coming weeks :) Thanks for all the love and support. I hope to make this set a really good one and worth it to you all!
