PIXEL REX
This is a tribute to everyone’s favourite pixelated prehistoric protagonist - Tyrone Reximillius. This raptor relentlessly races forward, leaping over obstacles as a lonely lizard facing unending hordes of hostile cacti and terrifying pterodactyls in a desert of disconnection.

COLLABORATIONSOpen to collaborations - kindly DM me on Discord (BobaSweatandTears#1659) to discussFEEDBACKForm link: https://forms.gle/hUXf7F9jNDHyWwrQ8Let me know your thoughts. Honestly, the colour scheme isn't innovative/new (it's a dark Dolch-like scheme with RGBY accents), nor is this the first time pixelated legends have been done, but I like this combination, and think the dinos make it cute. I honestly just wanted a fun simple keycap set to match/showcase the deskmats lol. It also scratches my childhood itch of loving dinosaurs, and pixelated graphics fulfills my childhood nostalgia.

PBT, reverse dyesub.
All legends here are pixelated, so it's not realistic/viable to get doubleshot moulds.
Manufacturer?Undecided - WS? DMK? There are alternatives Dyesub PBT Manus such as KBM? MW? TMT? - I'm open to suggestions re: dyesub manus.
I'd probably get samples before 100% confirming.
Looking for whatever appears to be decently priced, with a reasonable MOQ and kitting capacity, with a production timeline on the shorter end.
WS dyesub prototypes of WS Camping look
decent.
Pixelated legends will also look better dye-sublimated due to the sharp corners.
Inspiration?There is ‘no connection’ (hah) between this and one of the most popular games played when there is no connection. All similarities are purely coincidental.
Anways, Faiz suggested I design a deskmat to complement the
Dino104. I had a lot of fun with that, to the point that I thought it was worth complementing it with a fun and simple keycap set. It then evolved from a simple monochromatic ‘Dolch’ type scheme, to pixelated legends and RGBY mods for a bit more fun.
Anyways I just wanted a pixelated legends set in Cherry profile.
Legality?I honestly don't know. I tried to find further relevant information, but was unable to unearth anything substantive. The original source and Chromium are open source. But yeah I drew all the novelties (honestly not that hard), and they're not exactly 1:1 to the original if you want to be pedantic. There are also multiple new elements too, such as the triceratops, parasaurolophus, stegosaurus, pachycephalosaurus, pterodactyl carrying raptor etc. I've also seen other keyboard related items with same inspiration ran with no issues. So I very much doubt they will care at all about this. The big G has all my private information anyways, so they should already know I'm doing this
. But if it doesn't manage to get GB run, c'est la vie. This was a fun pixel fan art concept project to showcase some deskmat designs anyways.
