[Jelly Key] A Betta Saga artisan keycaps

In the previous chapters of our Eden chronicles, we’ve come to learn about the mighty Dragons of the East Sea, and the cheerfully dynamic Koi fish in the Zen pond, both filled with absolute essence from the magical world of Eden.

Dating back to the late 18th century, Betta fish has long been a legendary warrior symbol in the Eden world, arousing curiosity from every corner of this land as everyone wanted to capture, tame, or see them at least once in real life. But in the early days, hardly did anyone know that Betta is extremely territorial, carrying a massive sense of aggression in their blood, especially the males. Let me elaborate in this scenario for you to imagine more easily on how aggressive Betta can get. If inhabiting together in the same area, they can attack each other until death if the surrounds are too close. Simply put, Betta fish are certainly not friendly neighbors. They are solitary soldiers.

How to control the infinite Eden waves! First thing first, it’s the fish swirling inside the keycaps that mean the most. They have many small details such as carved scales and eyes, so the drawing of each pattern requires extreme care from our Jelly Key artists. The scales and details will also retain color, making it especially tricky to correct if smearing. It should take about 5-7 minutes to paint each paint layer of each fish. To fishes with larger and more curved sizes, it’s much more complex and intricate to anchor the fish because they do not only float horizontally but also vertically. The first fish prototypes were secured with their whole body, but the next version is only anchored from a small contact point on the fish body, so the pasting is more difficult as it’s easy to fall off and has to be glued again. Shaping the Eden rays in the spacebar is a huge challenge, in particular: creating colored rays to form lining effect will take around 1 hour before loading into the incubator and 12 hours more to be frozen. Additionally, due to their large size, it is hard to align the color rays without covering the fish; and the removal rate also gets higher to produce completed keycaps.
