Hey there!
I’m eskimojo, and have been in the community for a year or so. This is my first set, and I’m super excited to share this with you.
This set is inspired by the character Wiz from the anime Konosuba, who is a kindly undead shopkeeper.

Profile
I have chosen to design this set for KAT, as its silky smooth PBT surface combined with a comfortable and subtle sculpt makes it my favourite profile by far.
Additionally, they have the capability to do reverse dye sub, as seen in samples for KAT Eternal and KAT Oasis.
The MOQ system for KAT is also unique, and is done in such a way that allows for child kits that may not usually get enough support to be made. I’ve taken advantage of this by offering multiple international kits and colevrak support.
Colours
This set uses four Pantones as these are preferred for dye sublimation.
I have samples of these pantones in-hand to match to, and am happy with them.


I have a channel for updates and discussion in my Discord server, and will of course keep this thread updated.

Special Thanks

  • Minterly/Nat and the neccsock crew- General advice (especially with kitting) along with the incredible support from the whole crew (love you guys). Special mention goes to bhk, who was a lifesaver for getting hold of Pantones. (Grinsepo also suggested lowercase legends, which turned out great)

  • Rensuya - Support since the beginning (this set was originally conceived in the Discord channel for Ren’s set PBT Aqua Goddess) along with advice and feedback.

  • Manzel - Assisted with colour conversion very early in the process, along with providing the excellent renders for the Fjell, M65, M60 and Tofu.

  • DepletedVespene/Miguel - Tireless feedback, and his awesome resources for international kits.

  • OneCreativeMind - Feedback on the vector art in the set. Also created the arrow icons, which fit perfectly with the font.

  • MKUltra - Assistance and feedback on the Ergo kit.

  • MetallicCharles - Awesome renders for the Iron165, M0llY, and SP-111.

  • All of my vendors - Amazing support and making this all possible!
