[IC] Portal Round 2: Want to change anything?

I decided to wait until I shipped out the Ragnarok set, since I am going to Japan for 2 weeks in the middle of May and I didn't want it to interfere with that. Seeing as how Ragnarok gets here this week, expect it to open up next week.

These are the designs people are talking about. They are talking about the first two sets. Tho there may be some crazy person who likes the last set.
Oh the two key portal guy!

Me, hazeluff and others wanted that for a loong time! For those who didn't know about it, please vote here for which row each key from the pair should be from.

Yeah looking at that poll it sorta confirms my thinking that its probably going to be 2 modifier keys option.

It's gotta be on white IMO... I mean, even in the game you can only portal white surfaces


But whatever ends up happening, I'll be happy to get my hand on a set of these

As far as keys being made alongside this go, I am guessing there'd be copyright issues with a series of DC Comics logos? Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, etc. That'd be awesome.

Would it not be possible to doubleshot the escape key companion cube, then dyesub a pink heart on the white plastic?

No, nor would it be necessary, dyesubs last pretty much as long as doubleshots do. I can't think of a situation where you are going to wear down through 2mm of plastic and still be using the same board.

Sorry about the delay guys, planned on getting this up and running this week, but I've got 3 papers due today and its finals next week.

To kickstart things, as it stands now, the portal keyset will remain the same aside from added color on a couple of the keys for consistency and the potato instead of one of the legends, and then 2 portal guy doubleshot modifiers, one blue on black, the other orange on black.

If you guys have anything else you want done, speak up now.

Other options include:

portal guy mods on white AND on black, so both parties are happy, but must have the demand. I'm basically saying that if you want both, you better get at least 100 keys of each (between everyone.)

Looking to do at least 100 sets of the dyesub fn row set as well.

Hazel if you could send me the SVGs of the portal guy keys, and if you have it already, the potato.

It means you can have a black key with a white companion cube with the pink heart. I think it would look pretty unique but yes, silly expensive.

Just like this

You can't do a doubleshot/dyesub hybrid key either, two different kinds of plastic.

You can, if you glue two parts together. :P (Deck)

However, you actually “can” dye sub on black. 3D dye subbing a white key looks similar. Imsto posted something about this, and I’m eager to get my hands on some keys. :D

While there may be ways it can be done, SP doesn't do it. So for all intensive purposes, it can't.

Maybe, don't ditch any. Add the potato, and blue & orange portal to the dye subs Fn row, having 16 keys all up?

Portal guy mods on black, or on black and white is fine.

Whatever we end up with, i'm in for a set of each.

Ballpark $20-25 for the full set, with the doubleshots being the same as typical SP modifier keys, which you can see from some of my previous group buys.

What is holding it up is Hazeluff decided not to let me use his SVGs for the portal guys (I'm unsure why) so I'm stuck here making my own. He wouldn't make a potato svg either, maybe I should pay him? :rofl:

I thought this buy was shot down, and a related one set up in the vendor's forum due to the previous forest fire, so to speak.

I suppose Mr. Rock could help us out by shining some light on the subject!
