v2's smile and cheeks are a little wide. v1.5 is a little less exaggerated and the detail is sharper / less cartoony. Both are great regardless; I could go either though I generally prefer the v1.5, and I would be ecstatic to own such amazing alps artisans. My buddy is a Budai fanatic since a very young age, so he is definitely keeping an eye on this one.

Its so hard to choose between the two. 1.5 looks a little more natural to me (looking at the one on my desk as we speak)

But I like them both regardless, I can't wait!

More updates!

Budai is on hold till I can get rid of the over 100 Lucy Cats I have currently (lol  :confused:)... In a few days i will be launching a store so you guys can order freely... It will be announced first to people that are signed up on my email list and on my instagram, you can sign up for the email list here:

https://goo.gl/forms/mrEdt7NrEBuVY5Tu2

or follow me on instagram here:

https://www.instagram.com/badnewscaps/

But a few days after that I will be announcing it on reddit and here so everyone will get a chance. Not doing a raffle sale this time though, not enough time for that so it will be FCFS. There will be some new colorways and LOTS of ALPS lucky cats!

Sorry if I missed this info somewhere else, but do you 3D print your masters and then create molds from those to cast?

If so, which 3D printer and material(s) do you typically use?

Thanks!

None of my caps are 3d printed, all are hand crafted mothers with various sculpting materials. I have used 3d printing to make some cap bases to sculpt on but none of those have been in any of the caps I have released to the public (yet).

I dont really have any pic of the process posted anywhere (although I do take photos of the process ive just never posted them anywhere) Binge has awesome info and videos in his sub forum here https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=170.0  look thru some of the threads there and you will find good info/learning materials!

I've been following these for a while so glad to see some updates. Sucks about your wrist thing though.  :-* :-* :-* i'm told kisses help booboos.

anyway, I've been trying not to invest so much in artisans at the moment, but you better believe I'll be in this one when it goes live. Fingers crossed for a purple one.

Very cool, most of the colors were sold out by the time I rolled in so I went with a mystery bag. I really like the lucky cats and also really like the Budai. That "Coming Soon" is a tease.

I sold my only alps keyboard once the keyset selection finally got to me. These cats would have gone perfectly with it; now all I have are MX boards.

I had some down time last night because I ran out of mold release spray stuff and had to order some new stuff so I decided to try out sculpting on one of my synths, I was having a hard time thinking of an idea so I thought I would re-do one of my old designs, the Ent. The Ent used to be a 1.25 mod cap:



As one of my first sculpts I felt there was so many things wrong with the Ent, so ive set out to keep the same ascetic as the original but refine the shape and height and form factor. So heres my rough start:







Its going to have open sides:



So we will get to see how it looks with no side walls, should be interesting as there really arent a lot of caps with open sides, the only real one that comes to mind is the KWK walrus and its not even really open sided, the tusks just extend down a ways past the sidewall. Not sure if it will be a blessing or a curse.  :thumb: Another few days of working on the sculpt and we will see how it turns out!

These all look great!

On the budai however, the "necklace" around the top of his head sorta makes him look like he's wearing a clown wig.... Maybe that's just me but now I can't unsee it :-[

I think he would look more recognizable with the necklace on the bottom, or maybe ditch that and add big-ass earlobes. Or both I dunno

Nice to see a low profile artisan in a size different from 1U   :)
Any chance there will be any snot nosed Budai's in the store? I'm regrettably trying to stay away from artisans that I cant match to a keyset, but the unicorn snot, it calls to me. (And a keyset similar I'm sure will eventually come out).
