Antimatter and Seppuku Orochi
(Attachment Link)
Antimatter is more blue than I was expecting, but it's still a gorgeous cap.
I'll be taking better photos for sure because a phone doesn't capture the scuplt/colors very well.
The base black color is actually a blue-black, with some blue material mixed in for depth. If you inspect the underside of Antimatter in close light, you'll find the very small traces of blue. To the eye it looks almost entirely black, but this one key appears to demonstrate more blue than any of the others. I mentioned on reddit that Antimatter was quite a...volatile colorway to work with due to the process of introducing air and a bit of moisture to produce the glassy transparent effect without any dyes. Personally I enjoy the diverse look, and knowing that each of these are extremely unique. I've mentioned this before, but if you are unhappy with the Antimatter key, I'm happy to make it right. As the original owner of the key, I stand behind my work 100%.
ANNOUNCEMENTAlso, to everyone else, as of tonight all packages will be 100% shipped. There are eight remaining that will be dropped into the mail as soon as I'm out of the office, and that will completely conclude this sale. Tracking for those packages should update in the afternoon tomorrow. I greatly appreciate everyone's patience
As a note to the lucky winners of the five Iron Guardian keys: these keys contain a large quantity of hand-blended metal powders that I personally mixed and tested. I've hand-polished them to bring out the natural shine of the metal, but they will tarnish if exposed to water or chemicals for too long (the shine will completely disappear if you leave it in water overnight). It is expected to see some natural tarnishing over long periods of time, but this is easily wiped away or buffed to restore the original shine. In those cases, you can use some very fine steel wool to gently scrub away the tarnishing, and then a soft lint-free cloth to buff it to a nice shine. I did not seal these keys, as I felt that would take away from the beautiful natural patina that these keys will develop over time with regular use.
LEFTOVERSFinally, there are only a few leftover keys due to cancelled orders/unpaid invoices. These will be sold in a Flash Sale Format through the Sales page of my website, on a TBA date. The entire day will be devoted to leftover keys, with 60 second flash sales for each colorway at random times throughout the day. You will only have 60 seconds to enter your PayPal email and Submit, but it will be the only action that you need to do. Each of these flash sales will not be announced, so you will need to keep an eye on the page for that day.
Winners will be chosen through RNG and invoiced immediately, with one hour to pay. ALL packages will ship the next day, in Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. These will be the preferred shipping option for the CONUS going forward, as USPS tends to not lose these nearly as much (and are much more willing to negotiate claims when a package is lost). This will increase the CONUS shipping cost by $1.75 (total $6.75), but you will receive your keys much faster, and the boxes should prevent any damage to the keys as well. If you would prefer to receive your key in a bubble mailer at the previous $5.00 shipping rate, I will honor that. International shipping will not be affected.
