Design Concept:
Quote
We decided on a minimalistic keyboard from the beginning.
There are no out-of-the-ordinary wow factor in the Roze 65.
A minimalistic and good looking keyboard for the average
consumer was our intention. However, this did not mean it
was easy. Whether it was the thin ass bezels, the low
motherf/*cking front height or the irregularily shaped
SS bottom weight (that I thought was gonna be cheap to
make), we have worked days and nights to achieve what we are
now TRULY PROUD to present to the community.
Starting
with the layout, it is a versatile and portable size (AND MY
FAVORITE ARROW KEYS). Paired up with the thin bezels of the
Roze 65, we made sure there is not a single inch of wasted
space at first glance.
Coming to the bottom of the keyboard, we have decided
to keep everything Silver (except for the E-White unit). It
adds a subtle unity towards the entire line of the Roze 65.
It is intended to provide an easier choice for the audience
and to avoid the sometimes unavoidable color matching issue
of the anodizing process.
Unlike your normal flow of work of designing a
keyboard, I started working on the theme of this keyboard
AFTER the case design was done. There were many things that
are simple yet elegant in this world, but one object really
popped for me at the moment of decision for the theme. And
that is roses. Roses are flowers that are easy to grow yet
have such a diverse usage across various occasions. To me,
it was the pinnacle of elegance with simplicity.
Curvature lining and sharp edges imitating that of a
roses pedals and thorns is the artstyle that dominated both
the flower logo on the front badge and the leaf piece weight
on the back of the keyboard.
Now for something special.
Roze is not just a
keyboard, she is ALIVE.
Quote From the
moment I stepped into this hobby, I was astonished by the
renders of the EVA 01 colored Space 65 R2 and the beautiful
Fuji 65. What amazed me more than how pretty they looked was
the fact that I have finally found a hands-on hobby that can
express my love for anime. There was not a single hesitation
in me when I bought that GMK Darling set on MM after it
shipped, and neither was anyone going to be able to stop me
from ordering the all the kits to GMK Yuru.
Finally,
something that combines both my creative passions. Anime and
Keyboard. I present you, an original IP,
ROZE
Character Design:
Character
Aesthetics
Like a normal weeb person, I started off
with a few of my favorite search tags.
[White Hair], [Glasses],
[JK]
Following a rule of minimalism, I
decided to throw on her a very ordinary hairstyle with a
simple double hair pin as embellishment. Her general colors
are that of my favorite rose color, violet.
Character Traits
Next, let us throw in some more
tags that I came up with while procrastinating.
[Lonely], [Upright],
[Violent],
[Duo Personality]
As I pulled my hair
out trying to decide if I wanted a sweet kouhai or a badass
senpai for my first character, I realized that there was the
easy tool or multiple personality disorder. So I decided to
tank my decision by giving her both traits.
Backstory
After a heartbreaking childhood
trauma, Roze suffered through violent mental outbreaks which
slowly turned into her duo personality disorder. During the
summer of her last year of high school, Roze awakens her
ability, summoning her violent personality to her side
Releasing her from a life full of loneliness.
Notes:
Quote
Since as a kid, I was the kind of person that often talked
to myself when I was alone. This character may have started
off with a very generic concept, however, the finished
result is something that I have poured a lot of work into
and is heartfelt. Rozes story illustrates emotions from
loneliness to happiness and from hatred to trust. Nobody is
ever alone in this world. Friends, family and loved ones
come and go in your life. They are the motivation behind why
one would strive to be better. Only when you accept and
trust yourself, you become invincible to their eyes.
And
that is the philosophy of Roze. P.S.
Quote My
motivation was further boosted when I teared up at the
ending of Marvels Moon Knight that was airing at that time.
I was resonating with the ending episodes of that show so
much through what I have already written for Roze. I want to
finish off this section with the quote that Marc Spector
said to Steven Grant(one of his kind personality) after
Steven heroically jumped down into the sands of Duat
sacrificing himself so that Marc could live, You are the
only real superpower I ever had. And I believe that this
will be the conclusion that Roze eventually reach after
meeting her other personality.
Now back to keyboard!
Along with this keyboard, there will also be two Roze
deskmats and a Roze Titanium artisan keycap available at the
same time for groupbuy. (Price will also be confirmed soon
