Your feedback will be important, to encourage me by developing the whole series of design.
Below is the story begin
[attach=1]
This series of keycaps and accessories included 12 characters. To make the story become more integrated,
12 characters will have their own characteristics and modeling, trying to bring them in life, I hope you guys will love my project! ;D ;D ;D

Second all of the people who love the puller, but a wire one would also be nice.
As much as I think the idea of a novelty key puller is fun I have a hard time seeing anybody with a wire puller actually using a non wire one.
Anyway I'll keep myself informed on this project

In fact, you could do some role playing game, with stats cards and use the keycaps as tokens.
A board game with cards and keycaps would be amazing, really. What better place than originating on Geekhack.

Got any previews of the other 10 that might be in progress?
Either way, I would almost certainly buy this set if/when it comes available. I don't know what I'd do with 12 artisan caps on a 60% size board, but oh well. I'd probably just swap a different one on my Esc key every few days.

You buy a display stand for them: http://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/2z1w7v/sale_custom_acrylic_display_cases_now_on_sale/
Or a 75% with the f row so they can all go up there.

What kind of traditional methods of manufacturing are being used?
The type thats passed down from generation to generation. From the time of Norse gods when keycaps were forged in the fire pits of hell!

So are these plastic caps with paint that looks like weathered meta? If so, how do they feel with the paint?
Are those first prototypes 3D wax prints or did you sculpt them by hand?
Whatever the answers are to my questions, I'll be looking forward to the sale

Hmmm, looks so clean and perfect, I don't think these are real. Maybe renders? I require 1x sample of each cap before I can believe they exist. PM me for mailing address
Thanks man, they all are real object not rendering :thumb:

Your work also reminds me of the weathering on Ashley Wood's Brambles.

Regardless, the caps look great. I really like the characters, but I think the weathered alphas look fantastic. I would love to see a themed board with a whole set of weathered keys. If they could be made for a price comparable to other group buy key sets, I would buy a set of the weathered keys. Also, have you thought about incorporating sculpted keys larger than 1u into your work, or is that not practical without far more expensive equipment?

I occasionally see this thread pop up when I'm not able to reply, then I forget about it. Your designs are tight. I really like the idea of having a narrative to go along with the caps. Have you been inspired by a band named Voivod, perhaps? In their earlier years, they had a narrative about a futuristic war machine from another dimension. Here's a Google search of some of their album art.
