Cherokey needs a tear.  Those look awesome, especially Cherokey.

Oh my gods. Bro you never cease to astonish me. That Cherokey. I'm in awe. It's so good. Such detail, such personality, amazing. I need one like five minutes ago.

Heh, I'm 1/64th Cherokee on my mother's side, so the name and theme have special meaning to me.

So beautiful.

I love the direction you're moving Bro. I feel like the stress that the community puts on you makes being an artist hard and projects like this are really where you can show your style and talent. Honestly I'd say you should take a few months or a year off sales and just make whatever you want. Experiment and have fun! Become more of an artisan and not a factory.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

Really love the character on these.

You probably dedicated a long time to achieve this level of detail!

Enjoying the Japanese themed designs. There must be so much to work with from Japanese folklore creatures, as well.

I love your adding some cultural flair ! These are seriously amazing 😍 I'm really impressed as I feel I get to know your style and out of the blue you make something that is a major departure from your other pieces !
More so then any one thing or theme what sticks out (at least IMO ) in everything you do. Is your dedication to perfection. Someone can argue wether a piece or a theme caters to or fits there personal tastes what you cant  argue with(again this is my honest opinion) is the quality of what you do. That I feel is your signature !
Thanks for that bro it keeps me hungry and wanting more :)) <3Bro<3

Those are awesome! Are they actually caps? That's an amazing amount of detail already, for them to be caps that's like 10x more impressive.

They feel like a real departure from your previous caps, but still really fantastic in a whole new way.  The V2 especially had those clean, almost architectural lines.  These feel more like an extension of the Reaper.  The amount of detail on the Cherokey could have been much messier in less deft hands.  Big thumbs up.  I'd love to see your version of some of the Iroquois False Face Society masks.

Assuming these are keycaps (probably a fairly safe assumption) the amount of detail in them is absolutely incredible!  Especially when you realise how small they are.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
