WS Senkou
This set is inspired by Asuna. I have always been motivated by her courage and resolve. For a longer rant, feel free to read my previous post (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=119260.0).
New IC Form (https://forms.gle/UaJrr2Yz3tWppG9H9)
If you have filled out the previous IC form, I shall be grateful if you could take a moment to fill out the new IC form as well!
Foreword
WS Senkou is an overhaul of PBT “The Flash”. I have received quite a lot of feedback after posting the initial IC, and have since made a lot of changes to the design. As the set is essentially completely overhauled, I believe it would be adequate to start a new IC post.
Why WS/dyesub? The set was originally designed with doubleshot in mind. As I progressed with the design and liaised with manufacturers, I came to realise dyesub is probably the more adequate method of production given the relative complexity of the novelties and the need to use multiple colours. Further, this allows for lower price and relatively quick fulfilment time.
Wuque Studio has offered to produce this set using their special all-sided dyesub technique. This technique produces crisp, clear legends, and ensures all sides of the keycap are uniform in colour, with little variance or blemish. Although Wuque is mainly known for its keyboards and doubleshot keycaps, it has also produced dyesub keycap set – most notable, and also utilising all-sided dyesub, is WS Camping (https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/wscamping). The fact that Camping’s designer chose WS is a powerful testament of its quality.
