Anyone interested in a Lime Green Creeper face keycap in SA Row 1, SA Row 3, and/or DSA?

Current Mockup by yours truly:



So, which is the best color for a Creeper cap?:

by the way, i3oilermaker has given his blessings since it is not directly competing with his DCS version

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Interest in this seems quite lackluster, so I may just shelf this for now...

...much to learn with regard to interest since the Matrix Pills are not doing that well in Pick-A-Profile.

Either VCJ or VCM. It's been years since I've played Minecraft.

So, which is the best color for a Creeper cap?:

They're mostly the lighter shades of green, but VAT seems a little too light. I say VCM looks closest.

VCJ and VCM both work as accurate colors, hard to choose which one would be better.


For profile I am in for anything SA, 3 or 1.

Too bright. I don't get the Creeper vibe from that color. Creepers are more earthen in tone (though it's been a few years since I've touched Minecraft). I'd go with VCM if we want to have a vibrant green.

VAT looks too yellow to be a creeper color in my opinion. VCM does look the closest overall.
I could see VAT as an alternate or something though.

I think I will do SA Row 1 first. I will likely just buy a batch and just see how they do. That will help open the door for more profiles...and even more legend choices.
