Update 3/17/19

- Color Update: I pulled the Pantone plastic chips back out today to re-assure myself of the colors. The neon pink is definitely a very present shade, the kind that catches the eye and then burns it if you look for too long. Very bright and saturated. If all goes well with the GMK color matching process, the pink should stand out very nicely on top of the lavender. I'll do my best.

- Base set has been finished, which you can view in the images below.

Looks cool!

A nice mix between Laser and hyperfuse

Btw on that first render there is a blank key not sure if that is correct or not

dimo · « **Reply #2 on:** Sat, 16 March 2019, 16:58:38 »

I like the alphas. I hope you sample with GMK because the paleness of the entire palette reminds me of Necro and no one wants that again

ItsAllen · « **Reply #3 on:** Sat, 16 March 2019, 17:01:26 »

Anything Vaporwave, is an automatic join for me.

A nice, I have been waiting for the IC for this set to get posted on GH

Jae-3soteric · « **Reply #5 on:** Sat, 16 March 2019, 17:04:47 »

Really like this aesthetic and love the inclusion of the ISO kit - nice to see for a user like myself.

It feels like a nicer laser, or a cross of laser and taro.

I do wonder about the contrast on the alphas though - may not be as clear irl as the renders

Just as a point of note a lot of designers are moving away from pantones due to the better ability of GMK to match RAL and standard ABS colours. Given some of the wild differences some GBs have had from initial render to execution with pantones it may be something to bear in mind

I'd suggest removing ISO.

Wow.
The neon alpha is so cool.

Exactly the sort of keyset I am into.

Wow, I really like this!!! Reminds me of a calmer version of laser haha.

ever9415 · « **Reply #25 on:** Sat, 16 March 2019, 20:19:13 »

It is very beautiful.
When will GB proceed?

Vigrith · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 16 March 2019, 21:14:12 »

I really like the alphas a lot, something about the contrast with the mods feels slightly off but it'll probably just take some getting used to - looks great overall, honestly. Definitely willing to participate.

Screams for a novelty kit which may or may not include a micheangelo, palm tree, greek column, checkerboard, and random Japanese characters.

any plans for novelty keys?

txclack · « **Reply #32 on:** Sat, 16 March 2019, 22:11:19 »

Interesting keyset. I'm wondering how well the alphas will pop. Glad to hear you are taking color-matching seriously!

fatpolomanjr · « **Reply #33 on:** Sat, 16 March 2019, 22:57:41 »

I like complete base kits like this. Paired with a small novelties kit and/or a small spacebars kit (split, 6u, etc.) doesn't hurt. Glad to see ISO and numpad in base. Very pretty colorway.

Wasn't keen on first look but it's definitely growing on me.

Great to see ISO UK support, the trend of completely removing it from GMK sets is saddening.

LazyAfternoons · « **Reply #38 on:** Sun, 17 March 2019, 05:50:01 »

All in on this one, looks great.

hhkbp2 · « **Reply #39 on:** Sun, 17 March 2019, 06:54:46 »

Interested. I would like to see these:

1. novelties in yellow, dark(black, blue) which describe coconut tree, statue, racing car or fish?
2. extra kits with Japanese only alphas and icon mod?
3. colevrak kit if possible(maybe too much to ask)

breckstar · « **Reply #40 on:** Sun, 17 March 2019, 08:54:32 »

Mods seem pretty close to skeletor. Not necessarily bad thing, just noting it. Maybe a more rich purple/pink? Otherwise, love the alphas and overall aesthetics.

Rob27shred · « **Reply #41 on:** Sun, 17 March 2019, 10:10:31 »

Definitely an interesting colorway! Not quite my personal style, but I bet this will go over really well with the community. If you were to replace the pink legends with the cyan accent color I would be in for a set, but I honestly think that would take it to far away from your chosen theme. Anyways awesome work & GL with the rest of the process on this!

nu_types · « **Reply #43 on:** Sun, 17 March 2019, 11:14:46 »

Hiragana sublegends or bust.

Whenever I keep seeing this all I can see is Vaporware

Sorry. It's a beautiful set it's just that the names are very similar.

Anyway. Wish you the best!

If you can get the legends that pink in person I might be in

That's where vaporwave got it's name

kamisamamizu · « **Reply #49 on:** Sun, 17 March 2019, 14:49:18 »

I don't know, I think that it doesn't look as vaporwave as it could.
How about going light pink with purple legend on the alphas?
