concept art for my keycaps & deskmat!!
🕑 Added 2025-05-15 16:39:02 +0000 UTCHey y'all!! So the other night, I decided to bring in one of the sketches we did on Monday's co-working stream and create a ~proof of concept~ of sorts, to share with the folks at Infinikeyz—both to show them the direction I'm thinking of going, as well as proving that I am indeed working on this project lol.
I'm thinking of focusing on just a feature set of keycaps (which would be keys like the Enter, Tab, Caps, Spacebar, Ctrl, Alt, etc) and then letting them work on the rest...but I would love to design the fullset myself, with hand-drawn lettering, so we might start with just the feature keycaps for this launch?? And then maybe do the full set at a later date? I'm not sure! Gonna do more brainstorming and sketching today. But I'm really excited about this now, and since I settled on a concept for the whole collection, I feel like I can actually move forward with it. :o)
I also found a cool coloring tutorial on YouTube re: flatting, and I feel like it might be smart to use a slightly more restrictive color palette than I normally do on the desk mat and keycaps, to keep things cohesive. Otherwise, it could be a major pain to tweak every single color to the appropriate Pantone match...we shall see.
I'd love to know what you guys think!! I'm excited to finally bring this collab to fruition, a full year after I first talked about it lol.

I think it’ll be a pre-order situation! so there will be a limited pre-order window i believe

Im so excited to see how it will look irl, the sketches look so fun and cool I think hand drawn letters could be really cute :) Also i was wondering, will your set be a limited edition release? Or will it be available for quite a while ? (Just to know if I'll be able to buy it when my budget allows it or if I should put a bit of money on the side for your keyb set ♡)
