Sirius - the brightest in the night sky and in the Universe of Artkey - is now just beyond the stratosphere, preparing to conquer the faraway galaxies. At times, he glances back to the Earth which now seems no bigger than Exmor’s visor on the keyboard in front of me.
BIGGER THAN KEYCAPS

It’s just bigger, that we can assure you. Be that as it is, the larger the housing, the freer and more daring the ideas. Sirius - Toy Exosuit may boast hidden potentials that even we are still eagerly discovering.

You all have helped us tremendously in our Interest Check for this series. And although there is wild creativity taking flight over there, we will try our best to use them as inspirations and implement them in future releases, both conscientiously and selectively.
THE CREATION OF
SIRIUS | TOY EXOSUIT

Finishing the template

In this step, we remove any roughness and unevenness on the surface to prepare the toy for the molding part.

Molding

The finished 3D template is then used to create a silicone mold for the toy!

Resin Casting

Wouldn’t be Artkey without this step!

Toy Painting

This is only for the body of Sirius. The visor is completely cast resin. We also put on a protective coating so you should have no worries about durability!

Surface Buffing and Finishing

Completing one toy takes approx. 8 working days.

Assembling with adhesive and Testing

Prepare for the launch!
Some highlight steps, not entire Process
LET’S SAVE SOME APPLAUSE
FOR THE LAUNCH
Sirius breaking his traditional form of artisan keycaps is, in a way, a milestone for us at Artkey Universe. No, this doesn’t mean we are above casting artisan keycaps! That’s our love and life. But at the same time, breaking the norms and putting ourselves in a bigger, more ambitious endeavor are just how we grow and live.
Take a look at Sirius / Toy Exosuit
Plus, we have always been infatuated with the vastness of space and, at the same time, this is for our favorite good boi! We have to do him some justice, don’t you agree?

Let the new Journey Begin
