Title: [GB] MW Art Nouveau - In production
Post by: spikedsynapse on Thu, 17 February 2022, 14:02:33

MW Art Nouveau

Illustration of Art Nouveau Dalco959 By Dalco and Hand Engineering


Inspiration:
Of all the art styles that have influenced my taste over time, few have had the
impact of Art Nouveau, particularly the works of Alphonse Mucha. While I am
not the master painter that Mucha was, the graphical nature of his work deeply
influenced my taste in art. In this set I want to bring a bit of the Art Nouveau
graphic beauty to the keyboard.

For the colors I was inspired by the Summer panel of one of Mucha's Seasons polyptychs.

The cream is reminiscent of the model's skin, the blue is the sky, and the red is the lips.

I understand. I have been quite busy. To answer your question from the IC thread. The artisan collab will be run by the creator.

  My order's in.  ;)  Please hype it up so we get to MOQ.  Last group buy I entered failed due to lack of designer hype.

Just a quick heads up that your Frog Mini and Hubble65 renders are pulling an image from the same URL, so one of them is incorrect.

good luck with the group buy

My full set of samples is in for Art Nouveau. I am super happy with the colors and quality. I couldn't be happier with Milkyway as a manufacturer.

  Sweet!  These are going to make for one classy keyboard.  Doing any more testing of wear resistance, stem strength, fit, etc?

Thanks, :D ... I did put the samples on some gat yellows & some U4Ts both fit fine. I dont know that I use my escape key enough to test wear, but it seems really nice.  :D

Great news. The heading says “in production “ . Seems unnecessarily misleading

Hello.

After 6 months "in production", what is the status of this project?

Title: Re: [GB] MW Art Nouveau - In production
Post by: spikedsynapse on Wed, 08 March 2023, 12:02:56

Sorry Ive been posting updates on the MW discord. Let me copy the latest status here:

According to Akizaa the status from MW is as follows: "got updates from MW where the accent keys still need to be improved and the QC stage will be done again, new ETA is around Q1 2023. Hopefully it can make it before the timeline ends."

So we were slated for Feb but if they fix this one thing we are looking at this month.

Post by: spikedsynapse on Tue, 21 March 2023, 07:06:48

According to MW we are in the fulfillment queue.
According to the information I have, If you bought your set through Kanatakeys it is still going to be fulfilled and they are working on the details of that right now..
