[IC] PBT Straya
« on: Mon, 04 April 2022, 04:44:50 »
G'day,
I'm tired of keycaps being made for North Americans and the British English, so here's something for us Aussies to type on.



Featuring spuǝƃǝl ǝᴉssnɐ ('Aussie Legends')

Kit:
Base Kit:


Novelties:
- TBD -
Imagine a keycap set with a kangaroo, koala, spider, snake, the barbie, a snag sando, bottle-o, goon bag, thongs/pluggers, tatt of the Southern Cross, vegemite,  dropbear.
Also maybe terms like 'mate', 'straya', 'farken oath', 'c*nt', 'yeah, nah' and 'nay, yeah'.
Open to suggestions.

Alternate Alphas:
- TBD -
Considering a Hiragana sublegends alpha kit, for the weebs. We got some decent sushi and casual racism near the Gold Coast.
Also maybe something with standard Northern Hemisphere English alphas, with the 'Aussie Legends' on the bottom right.

Renders:





Isn't she a beaut?

Due to the ****ty internet in Australia (No thanks to the pollies), it's going to take me ages to upload any more images, so you're going to have to wait for a while for more.
[For those interested in the deskmat (unofficially I'm calling it the 'Wowmat', that's an upcoming Pop Art keycap project I'm pretty stoked about)]

Pricing:
100 dollarydoos for the base kit I bet. Don't want it to be too exy.
Portion of the profits will go to the victims of the Emu war.

Acknowledgments:

Whilst this set features Australian English legends, whilst I'm here, I'm going to shout out some actual Aussie legends:

Steve Irwin (RIP, sadly kicked the bucket doing what he loved), the CSIRO scientists that invented Wi-Fi and plastic bank notes, Florey for helping invent Pencillin, 'Jazza' Harrison who created the first practical refrigerator, Prof Graeme Clark for the cochlear implant, Dr. Mark Lidwill for the Electronic Pacemaker, Davo Robinson and Gazza Kossoff for the ultrasound scanner, Dr. Davo Warren for the Black Box Flight Recorder, Jack Grant for the inflatable escape slide, Tommo Angrove for the Wine Gask (Goon), Sir Burnet for his work on immunology, Prof Frazer and Dr. Zhou for the Cervical Cancer vaccine, Dr Fiona Wood for Spray-on-skin tech; the baristas that make amazing coffee, me best mates (you farken sick c*nts know who you are) and me.
And all the Kiwis (New Zealanders) we claim as our own as soon as they have any semblance of international success.

FAQ:
Isn't this a bit similar to British Racing Green, but with the alternate alphas?
Yeah, fair dinkum, it is. But Australia's colours for international sports is green and gold, and we're just the upside down convict colony of Great Britain anyways. Otherwise, I can just do it in true blue.

Who is the best-looking Australian? There's so many good looking Aussie, like Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, Miranda Kerr, Nicole Kidman etc.
Well I think it's Gina Rinehart, she makes me a crack a fat. I'm pretty sexy too

Cheers,

She'll be right. I'm a fool, and it's April. Yeah maybe I got a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock but would rather post this on Australia Day, but it's kinda like how Columbus Day is invasion day, so maybe not. I really should've posted this on May 8 (Maaate) instead.
Anyways is your interest checked or not?

It's true. I can't be stopped. Mad as a cut snake. As Kanye West once said "No one man should have all that power". (EDIT: Pretty sad that Kanye is a chop short of a barbecue these days)

Dunno, not really feeling the colours. Lived here longer than anyone should and rarely see a saturated green like that out in the wildy. The common garden meme would be a Bunnings colourway, but that’s just GMK Dark Deku so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just don’t do green on gold. GRoG bad.

You need to work with HIBI on this set to make an artisan that has the MX mount on the outside of the cap.. because it's upside down too.

Great kitting on this! 1.5u Supers and Alice in the base, love to see it.
