Here's a pic of the prototype: the edges need sanding and finishing, but it's close to being done.
The colour is chocolate brown, with white stitching and soon-to-be brown edges (I was going for a Retro DSA complement).

I ironed out a couple of spacing issues regarding the stitching, so I don't feel it's perfect, but I think I'm satisfied I've now figured out the design.
If you're interested in the colour, feel free to send me a PM and we can talk :)
Looks great! Any photos of it with an ergodox?
Have you decided on a price?
Pricing is on the website.
"You can customize as many or as few options as you would like, but pricing and terms will vary. I start with a base price for each rest size:
$65 for 60%
$75 for TKL
$85 for Full Size
$95 for ErgoDox
Custom dying and thread colours are simplest and will add $0-10 to a quote.
Custom tooling starts at $35 for a small image.
Larger or more complex images will lead to a more expensive quote. Before starting work, I will confirm your final specifications as part of the payment contract."
So it's looking like another wallethack

Yeah, I think I'm going to reduce that to $85 after working through my prototypes. They take more forming time, but the stitching and trimming is a lot simple than a fullsize, so I think $85 is a fair price.
I'm barely making minimum wage on these once materials are deducted, if at all, so please don't think I'm trying to gouge you with the price.
For the ErgoDox rests, I'm essentially making 2 for 1 in terms of the time the process takes.
Regarding the softness/feel of the rests, here's an approximate diagram of what's inside:
The felt is thicker than this diagram though--about the same thickness as the wood, though it's compressed down upon assembly.
In short, they are padded but firm. The leather itself holds its shape but is supple enough to flex.
