Sneak peak at some keycaps we'll be making as part of the artisan workshop at the Utah Meetup this weekend.

I decided to give the attendees a few options based on some designs I've been working on :-*
do you have any pictures of your progress through the sculpting process?
I don't have many progress pics for these caps (I did the skull in two evenings this past weekend without taking snaps in between), but I found a couple early versions of Duke II and Patriarch from last March:
Patriarch had a general profile here, on which details like the horns and scales were refined over time. There was also a lot of back and forth in several sessions regarding how I wanted the body area's texture to look and whether he would have teeth or not.
Duke II was originally much closer in appearance to the original Duke, but in the end I decided to make him a little more innocent and playful in expression and added a spiked collar. I also had to adjust the ears which ended up slightly too wide and would potentially rub on neighboring Duke II's when I tested a few prototypes.
These three might end up in future sales but might also have a few revisions before then. There will only be a very small number made at the meet up, so I'm just gonna let a few out in their current state even if they might not be perfectly "done." The goal of the workshop will be more about giving everyone a chance to bring home a fun self-made souvenir rather than promoting certain keycaps or future sales anyway.
