THE CAPS:Molten GolemIce GolemMagma TemplarFrozen TemplarBlazing EntlingChilly EntlingIce and Fire contest is still live!
The rules for this contest is simple; get both color ways of one of the caps featured in The sale of ice and fire, and you'll be one of five to get a fusion version of that design, completely free. The only problem is that you can only get one colorway of every cap through the sale, which forces you to get the cap from somewhere else. This forces you to help eachother out; give away, trade and buy caps from eachother to reach your goal! The caps you can win are these:Fusion Golem Requirements: Molten Golem + Ice Golem
[0 LEFT]Claimed by: PekingGoose, Dellpcboi, Shibataken, Boblo1121 & Yaranzo

Rules for the contest:• Proof needed is: Picture with timestamp and name tag.
• All cheaters will be disqualified and permanently banned from all my future sales, if suspicion arrises you may be asked for further proof!
• The contest winners are the first five with each design that messages me, not that has the caps. This means, if you wait a week to post the pics to me, someone else that recieved them one day ago may win over you!
ZorbCaps sale #3 - The Christmass CaplendarMore
Hello!It's soon december, and what comes in december?
Caps! (Don't question this logic)I'm aiming for something different for this sale. Instead of a normal sale, I'm doing a so called "Christmas Caplendar".
The caplendar will go on for 25 days (as a normal calendar), and will reward the participants with a secret each day in december up until the 25th.
Every participant will recieve one random christmass themed artisan cap; many days there will be additional gifts to get!
You can enter by using this google form:http://goo.gl/forms/cZJ6Wgj3AvRules/ Notes.* The price will be $25 for each of the 25 choosen participants (Shipping + handeling + fees are included in this price)
* The participants in the sale will be choosen by a raffle, going live the 30th of November. The raffle will stay open for 24 hours to give everyone the same chances to participate.
* All caps are handmade/ painted by me, thus every cap varies from the others to some extent. Replacements will not be issued for any caps with cosmetic errors, only for functionality issues.
* Every participant will recieve one artisan cap, but some will recieve more than just that...

ZorbCaps sale #4 - The Carbon MineMore
Hello guys!
It's been a while since my last sale, but I can prommise you that I have not been slacking! I've made some big improvements, both in materials and my skills as a maker.
The caps that are featured in this sale is, as you may have guessed, made to match Tomb3ry's amazing carbon keycap set. The google doc form will be posted here as soon as the sale goes live!
The sale will go live in two rounds; the first one being on the 25th of february, and the second one on the 5th of march. Both rounds will be open for 24 hours each. You'll only need to enter once though, as your entry will be moved to round 2 if you do not manage to win in the first!
I will be having a B-stock sale some time after the second round, and just as the last b-stock sale I had, all profit will go to charity! That sale will be first come first served, but I’ll make a second announcement before it goes live.
Thanks for the support you've given me ever since I started out; thanks for checking the sale out, and good luck in the raffle!

ZorbCaps 1st Year AnniversaryMore
Thank you to all participants of this event! The event is now over and all invoices has been paid
Packages will be shipped either at the end of this week or in the beginning of next - there's a lot of packages so it's hard to know when I'll be done!
Also, a quick update on the future...
I've finally gotten myself a pressure pot! I've been going this whole year without using this equipment, and I finally found an available one for sale and went for it. This may not seem like big news, but it will actually drastically increase both my quality and my quantity of caps. As of now, A LOT of my caps go straight into B-stock due to bubbles - this especially sucks on multishots which has caused me to have super low stock on these. From now on, expect more multicasts, transparent colors, higher quality caps and more intricate designs! Everything will be better really
This first year has been amazing and I can not thank all of you enough for your support!

Original PostMore
Hello dudes and dudettes!
I can't believe it's already been a year since my capmaking journey started. Before starting, I had no experience about anything resin-casting related, but after help and suggestions of a few people within the community I took the leap and got my first casting kit. For my first sale, I had not yet come up with the brilliant idea of having multiple molds at once, and with over half of the caps going straight into the trash it took weeks to complete. However, the feeling after completing the sale and seeing the positive response from those that participated made it all worth it. The support that comes from within this wonderfull community was - and is - the main part that keeps me doing what I'm doing.
This upcoming "sale" is not really structured like the usual ones I do. Every few days I will release a few new caps that will be sold in different ways - raffles, FcFs and competitions.
A majority of the caps that will be featured in this sale are my best attempts at replicating my personal view of what the "original" cap would look like while sculpting them. This means that this sale is not meant for some specific colorway or keyset - these are purely based on my perception of the keys.
The caps from my current roster will of course be included in the sale, but there's also a big chance of some reappearances of some old beloved characters - just stay tuned!
I can't thank you all enough for your amazing support during this year that has passed! This whole thing would not be possible if it was not for all of you, so thanks to you all once again!
Hope to see you all when the sale starts!

22ND AUGUST - Round 1More
Hey!
Today is exactly one year since I held my first sale, thus marking the start of my anniversary event! Every few days in the upcomming weeks I will hold some sort of sale or event for a chance of getting some of my caps. As said in the original post, many of these events will feature my best shot at portraying the caps as I thought of them while first sculpting them. Some days (like this first one) this require quite challenging multishots, so the quantities will be very limited. However, there will also be days with simpler castings and larger quantities!
This first day will just be a standard raffle to start things of. Just one cap will be in this first round. I present to you:

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/6fllps/artisanzorbcaps_presummer_charity_raffle_live_now/ Hello again everyone!
This community is just insane. Completelly insane. Every single charity event I’ve held ever since the first one, I’ve felt completelly overwhelmed with the results. I felt like the results were huge while holding my first ever charity event, which brought in $71,24. That was less than 2 years ago. Today, you bought a total of 1482 tickets (!!!), making the final for this raffle..:
$7.420,64I’ve said this exact thing during many of my past charity events but I'll have to say it again… I am totally at loss of words over the kindness and love that is present inside this community; thank you so much for everyone that participated in this, I can honestly not thank you all enough. This ammount is more than the cost needed to cover all the costs of the choosen orphanage, the home for 55 children, as well as their nearby dental clinic, for a whole month.
Not sure what more I can say, except once again, thank you all.
As of fall 2017, past sales can be found here:zorbcaps.com/past-salesArchive:The world of Zorelia:More
Creatures:Templars:More
The Templars was once a flourishing community, spread all over the continent of Zorelia. But then, things started to go wrong. A group of templars, later called “The demonic ones”, started to wish for things that no templar should wish for. Power. They kept this secret at first, but as their power continued to increase, they started to reveal themselves, one by one. The other templars knew what was happening, and tried to set a stop for this madness that had ensued. But the templars failed. The survivors fled from the now ruined kingdom that used to be a symbol for nobility and peace. In their state of panic, many fled right into the Shi’Link Labyrinth, and has not been seen ever since. The templars that managed to get away either went into exile or became obsessed with the elemental powers coming from the elemental peaks, but that is a completely different story.
Golems:More
The golems are one of the most ancient races of Zorelia, and the source of their creation are unknown; though many different theories have been made since they were first encountered. The golems tend to hide up in the mountains and in long-forgotten caves and crevices; just don’t take their defensive nature as a sign for weakness. There are more variations of golems than you could count, each one with their own powers and abilities. New ones are discovered several times per year; often several of them are discovered at once. Periods between finding vary, not more than once per month though. The only clue between this delay comes from an old wizards saying regarding the issue: “Casting takes time”. To this very day, noone has grasped the meaning of it.
Ents:More
One hundred years ago, an ent was not an unusual sight. Their colonies lived in the outer sections of the Cliclac forest, and they lived in peace and harmony with the nature around them. Then, the Orks arrived. They came into the lands that previously has been the homes of the ents, and started to use it like it was their own. They built huge cities and factories, and started to attack and chop down the forest for their own good. At the beginning, the ents defended the forest from the orks that tried to attack. Many ents fell back into the forest, and eventually, none was there to defend. The now xenophobic ents live deep inside the forest, hiding from everything and everyone that is not one of them. The once majestic forest is now starting to get smaller and smaller, and it’s only a matter of time before it will be gone for good.
Entlings:
The entlings are the youngest of ents. They live in certain parts of the ent territories in groups of ten, with one elder ent that takes care and waters them. The time it takes before the entlings grows up and picks up their own roots varies, but usually between fifty to a hundred years.
Orks:More
The orks are a species that relies entirely on the suffering of others. When they first came into the continent of Zorelia, they slaughtered and destroyed wherever they went to get exactly what they wanted. They attack the forest and its inhabitants to get wood for their factories, they release poisonous waste into the waters, and they take prisoners and slaves from the societies that were built way before the orks put their foot on their land. They have not yet been given any consequences for their actions, but the creatures in their vicinity has started to loose their patience.
Metaljaws:
The Metaljaws are the standard soldiers of the orkish empire. They are selected before they can even talk, and are raised to be soldiers, with all etics and moral stripped away from their minds. When they are old enough, their lower jaws are brutally removed and replaced with a metal one, thus completing their training. The metaljaws are called in for specific tasks, such as military attacks, defending from threats or as leaders over military groups.
Orxplorers:
Goblins:More
The goblins were once a big group with several tribes situated on the west side of the Cliclac forest. They lived with primitive technology and unusual rituals. Their ways of living was abruptly ended when the orks arrived and started to spread chaos in the areas where the goblins were located. The orks looted their cities and took goblins as slaves. The ones that tried to either flee or fight got killed without as much as a second thought. The goblins numbers have now risen, but not as a free group. They are used by the orks to do many hard and dangerous tasks, such as working in The Carbon Mine or their numerous factories. Even though it all seems dark for the goblin race, there are stories of the escapists who hide in camps deep inside the forest, plotting to free their captive brothers and sisters...
Garts:More
Before the impact of the fallen star, no creature had heard or seen of the creature that came to be called “Gart”. At their arrival they were only six; each one went to one of the members of the ten, the group that had been destined to foresee the impact of the same star from which these creatures came from. After their arrival were announced, people came from near and far to get a glance at one of the “Fallen Star Garts”. However, some mysterious things happened with these six that came with the star. Suddenly they begun to depart from their masters in intervals, one by one. Rumors about sightings of Garts in different colors started to be told, but the tellers of these stories begun to disappear one by one...
Map:The Carbon Mine:More
The Carbon Mine are the orks main source of materials such as coal and different kinds of metal. With the help of their goblin slaves, they have reached further down than anyone has done before. One day, in the lowest regions of the mine, they breached a wall to a huge cave that had been hidden deep into the earth. Out of the cave came a whole colony of golems that are now going riot around the regions of the mine located close to the breaching point. A whole squad of metaljaws were immediately called in to try to make the cave safe again, but attacking the golems was quickly deemed impossible. The affected part of the mine has now been cut of, and further digging has switched location.
Elemental Peaks:More
The mountains that are now called the “Elemental Peaks” were once just ordinary mountains. They were the biggest of the whole continent, and were the home of many creatures. But then one day, without any previous signs of danger, the left mountain started to spew lava and ashes over everything nearby. At the same time, as if it was trying to aid, the right mountain froze entirely, and huge snow storms started to ravage around it. In pure confusion, all the inhabitants of the areas around the mountains fled. Well, not all. In some way, the elemental powers that have now appeared around the mountains attracted small group of different races, and called them to the mountains. The first creatures were the golems, but to the confusion of those nearby, ent children and even templars was also lost in the madness of these powers. To this day, they still live on the mountains, and will attack everyone that tries to come close. Many of those that tried to rescue their loved ones died on the journey, if they didn’t go mad first...
Templar Ruins:More
The Templar Ruins are what is left of Narodicius, the capital of the once flourishing templar society. In what is refered to as “The fall of the templars”, the city got destroyed by it’s own inhabitants (More about this on “The Templars” page). The city has now been abandoned for many years, and noone has been able to get there since. The Shi’Link labyrinth was the only way to get to the city by land, but the secret ways through it died together with the templars. Strong currents and storms - probably made by the demonic templars - is ravaging around the headland where the ruins are located, making entrance to the ruins virtually impossible.
The Fallen Star:More
One day, a group of humans spread all over the continent of Zorelia felt a special call. They traveled over hills and valleys, mountains and seas to the place where they were called. Together the group - later called the ten - used the information from each other to start a very peculiar set of events. After the group had finished their task, the call inside them siezed to roar, and they all returned to their previous locations. But then, 3 weeks later, something was spotted high up in the sky. At first, people thought a new star has been born, but after studying it, it seemed to appear bigger and bigger for each day that went by. Eventually, people started to panick, for it was now apparent that this was no regular star. No, it has started to fall. The most skillfull astronomers from the whole continent got together, but they were unable to successfully establish the exact time. However, around this time, the ten has now begun to feel the same roar inside them that they had previously felt; they immediately left their homes to travel to the location of the impact in hopes of catching whatever is coming, destined to hit the earth...
The Alchemists CaravanMore
For as long as history stretches back, the Alchemists have always been spread around the continent of Zorelia. Through many centuries, alchemists have always lived alone, tinkering with their experiments in a lonelly hut, cave or castle in a remote part of the continent. Alchemists have always taken a safe distance to the people, and the people have always taken a safe distance to the Alchemists. The only exception to this is the orks. The alchemist society of the orks are led by a small group of their finest adventurers - The Orxplorers. Roaming around the country with a long caravan of wagons and people, they perform their experiments on the roadsides around the whole continent.
The back of the caravan is the home of the harmed and crooked survivors of the many explosions that is frequent throughout the caravan. Placed in the middle are the perfect and golden outcome of the alchemists practices, cold statues of what once used to be living creatures. In the front of the caravan, the alchemists and their servants reside in luxury, performing their vile experiments on passing travelers and those of their own kin alike.
