How long have you been casting? Your first cap in 2014 looks pretty damn good. It looks like you've been sick at casting and sculpting since day 1

started this hobby last year August. been addicted to it since then and always looking for anything cool and incorporate it to a keycap. lol.

The birdie!

Doubleshot with different nest color would look too cool

Wpw. I was just reading this thread from the beginning, and it's crazy how great your caps and sculpting skills have evolved in such a short time! Huge props man. I love your KRAP and can't wait for the sale in a few days!

Thanks. Nope, the circles are the same part of the cap much like a doubleshot style :)

Very interesting, Krytone. I especially like the little krap logo on the back. Seeing those dots makes me think of a Christmas tree for some reason. Maybe green and yellow/red would be a good color combo for this design, you don't see too many Christmas themed caps I feel like...or maybe I just haven't been around the cap scene long enough.

Jhonan · « **Reply #472 on:** Fri, 13 November 2015, 18:45:41 »

Blanks are still just as unique to the artist as any other work, and that looks pretty fine, especially with the insignia

I still love blanks, even though there are quite a few of them. Especially this one. Probably the coolest blank I've seen :thumb:

Damn, looks great. You should think about those in some popular colorways (Miami, Hyperfuse, etc.) I'd imagine they'd be pretty popular.

I totally agree. I feel like this is sort of an uptapped market. People like artisans that match their keyset, but unless you have a huge collection, it's unlikely that something you have will just happen to match. I wish there were more intentionally matching artisans out there.

thanks guys! let me see on that GID circles cause i think its a great idea.

Just bought a new macro lens to help me get a better pics instead of my poor man extension tubes

And to try out the lens, why not with a new master!

Im naming it Mariposa, what do you guys think?

Mariposa is such a lovely word, it just rolls off the tongue so nicely. It's one of the few Spanish words that really stuck with me after years of not speaking it heh. Think you will be able to pour one that looks like a monarch? (Or perhaps a Death's Head moth?) :3

Cool stuff as always

suicidal_orange · « **Reply #481 on:** Mon, 16 November 2015, 12:07:59 »

Methinks you need to go check the definition of "blank" - you're doing it wrong!

)

I supposedly learnt Spanish at school but never came across mariposa, it's a good name for a pretty cap especially if you can get a doubleshot to turn out like that master.

Great caps as always, here's hoping the next sale includes Topre

The butterfly is beautiful! I'd definitely have to chase that one to the ends of the earth.

Also digging the blanks. I'd also be curious to see ones like that in popular colorways.
