[IC] GMK Solarized (Penumbra?!)

[MkLovin]

Greetings! Today I am bringing you something that I have been wanting to make for a while now. If you look at the render you might say that "wow that looks like Penumbra but GMK...." and you would be right. I am not going to lie and say that I made this colorway myself.
Penumbra has had a long standing history of being a simple, elegant and gorgeous set. The set is highly desired by a ton of collectors. I am not going to re-make the set in SA due to the fact that it would be highly controversial as well as rude to the creator of the set. I am not proposing this because I want to stir up trouble in the community. I love this community and I respect the creators who spend time and make sets. However, this colorway has been gone for a very long time. I think revitalizing it with a twist will be good for the community. A lot of people can get their hands on an incredible colorway but the owners of the SA version won't be subject to having their rare set be commonplace.
I love the colorway, I love the set, I respect the creator of the set but I would like to see another round of this set. I am trying to make that happen with GMK Solarized. If you are interested in this set please let me know via this Strawpoll.





As a note, the alphas on the render should be a little bit more yellow. Better renders will come, that will be further down the line if there is enough interest.

no straw poll needed, there will be a **** tonne of interest.

[honeynugget]

would be in for a set

I only really lurk here, but I have to come out and say something. Penumbra is a set I've lusted after since the first day I saw a picture of it. The possibility of this in the one profile that I don't have yet, is just icing on the cake. I wish you all the best of luck in this endeavour, and if this works out, I'll be first in line.

[Shikarikato]

intersted but who needs more cherry profile keycaps
personally the appeal of penumbra was the first good looking SA set ive seen

[WOMBO]

wonder what bunny would say about penumbra sa r2 being run by different people

[ryptide11]

Make it happen!

[nugglets]

I brought enough for everyone.

[Cerasis]

I'm interested, and would gladly buy one if my wallet permits

which lay-out and Mod do you want to make it? just TKL without numpad and Mod?
GMK has updated their color card, which have 3 yellows. they are all lighter even illustrious than the yellow in this mock-up.
Ofcoure i am fond of this colorway and the yellow. What i could depict this yellow is cream ,soft and tantalizingly charming yellow.
looking forward to your update.

[canigetanipa]

x1 please with yellows

I am not sure what the base kit will be but I am going to try to make it the most economical.  TKL is likely however, I am not too sure.  The colorway is going to be completely custom through GMK.  Carbon did it and the set is wildly popular, I am hoping for a similar result.  The yellow will be the original yellow, no need to fear!

Just curious why someone would need to contact you to use the Solarized color scheme?

It's a little hard to believe since Carbon won't ship until October and this is the first announcement of a GMK Penumbra set at all. Still no buy period, let alone an interest check for it.

[VereChi]

Bunny get your toxic groupbuy finished first.

[BunnyLake]

I never run an interest check, there will be no buy period it'll be for sale when it's on hand

Not sure how carbon affects it, your gonna see another gmk set we are involved with long before you see carbon, and you haven't seen an interest check or buy period from that either

These gmk sets are part of a deal with another party, backing the money and providing fulfilment and giving us a percentage which will be used to do that very thing

Right, but from my perspective it's odd because it would never occur to me to contact someone before using Solarized in a project. Given that there's no interest check or teaser for a Solarized GMK set anywhere, and there seems to be a ton of interest, why would you expect to be contacted first?

I never said I expected to, I said if he had the courtesy to, given that I had originally run the set, he would have known about my plans and not wasted his time

Someone put up $50k+ for a set that was never gauged for interest against the community?  I mean it's obvious folks want it but that seems....unwise.

I will gladly back down if you can prove anything is happening on your end.

Point is, there was an interest check for the original Penumbra. Just because you didn't make the thread doesn't really make this conveniently timed announcement of Penumbra GMK less unusual.

I have no need to send you any proof, I'm trying to do you a favour to save you wasting any more time


However if proof is that important to you, I'd be prepared to share it with a member of the moderation team for you to confirm with

There is no convenient time, this is an inconvenience to everyone, including me wasting my time replying and justifying myself to you

Thanks sir it's part of a long and pretty large deal with another vendor that will mean exciting things to come, that will both fix the old issues ctrl alt has financially and push what we are doing in to the future

Sorry my reply is in that quote above I'm just on my phone with a baby and ****ed it up

What are the odds of it having the whiter alphas? I know solarized would be more yellow, but damn did Penumbra ever look nice with white alphas. <3
