[url=https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=112454.0][img width=213 height=120]https://i.imgur.com/RZC7WYx.png[/img]The renders looks scuffed. Might be a decent mono set but can't really tell with the lighting going on.Exactly, this is just a primitive idea. I am trying to make the render better next time.
Updated some render, please check it out.

Can't help but to think of bleach and orange range with that name, also can we have the pantone color codes?

I don't use custom color. It's V2 for Orange and CR for Black.

Not to be mean, but renders aren't even close to V2
G E K O L O N I S E E R Depic nederlands moment
Just give me a single black accent key, or green, maybe green, a single green key would be nice
I like orange, but I don't know about this set. Maybe a burnt orange? These renders hurt my eyes too much.
Update White Legend, Novelties, Deskmat, etc
Please let me know your thoughts so that I can complete this project, I really hope it can come true.
This set is so cool !Thank you so much. The sunny vibes are exactly what I would like to bring to us through this keyset.
Very much in need of sunny vibes after a year+ inside.
P.S: your discord link isn't working :/
Actually all the oranges I use are the default V2 color from GMK.Update White Legend, Novelties, Deskmat, etc

Are we sticking with the bright orange base. I think a darker burnt orange (the v2) would match the new white alphas better.

Since this is the first keyset I design, I would like to use only the basic colors to get 150 MOQ for GMK.
The image below is an example of the V2 color I want to use. Excuse me to use images from the IC GMK ADA.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/ZbSU5cJ.jpeg)

Okay I see it. Somehow, the V2 Orange is a bit too bright in the new renders.
I changed the theme of keyset to Japanese theme, check it out if you're interest and please fill the IC form for me to improve the keyset.
Just wondering around the double pipe key for ISO layout.For US user, I would use ANSI standard. The ISO keys I put in Base kit is for UK minimum ISO layout.
Is it worth just making it Terminal/US ISO with R3 [\|] and R4 [><]?
Hi dudeship, you are a great designer. I joined your GB KAT Great Way and I am excited about it.I changed the theme of keyset to Japanese theme, check it out if you're interest and please fill the IC form for me to improve the keyset.
why lol, there's no need other than "i want hiragana sublegends!!".
Aw man I assumed this set to be fairy tail inspiredIf that set exists, I would name it "Natsu Dragneel" instead of just "Natsu". (I'm a fan of Fairy Tail too)

You forgot to put 1.75u backspace and 1.5u enter in your 40s kit.Yes I'm reviewing it and will put the missing key to 40s kit.
I kind of dig this but changing a set's name to fit hiragana subs is a new oneis it though?
I know a ton of people have commented on how the sudden change to a Japanese name with hiragana was kinda out of nowhere and random, but with the novs it's even more confusing. A set with a Japanese name, hiragana subs, and Japan-inspired novelties, but in the description you said it was inspired by the sunsets in Sicily? :confused:
They look alright though. I like the chemical formula one.
Because this is orange and has the R4 "|\" key (terminal ISO bad) I am willing to overlook the sudden pivot to Japenese theme. Realistically though I think you will struggle with two base sets, and the novelties are kinda all over the place...
I am a UK ISO user. Double pipe is just a random set of keys to me 😅Just wondering around the double pipe key for ISO layout.For US user, I would use ANSI standard. The ISO keys I put in Base kit is for UK minimum ISO layout.

When I saw the name and color, I thought this set was based on “amanatsu” (甘夏 which directly translates to sweet summer). It’s basically a Japanese orange. Anyway, not sure if you’re aware of the fruit, but it could potentially be a good pivot if you went full in on an amanatsu theme since amanatsu is used in a juices and ice creams and candies. It might give this set a more cohesive feel compared to having a mix of orange slices and torii and what looks like Mt. Fuji.

Would just rather follow a layout than none at all.
I'm gonna go on a limb and suggest that if you're going to use hiragana sublegends and Japanese imagery, that you do your due diligence to pick something that's a bit more fleshed out in terms of your theme. It's not wrong to have your set include Japanese sublegends because you want it to, nor would it be my place to tell you not to make a set with a Japanese theme. But in your current state, your novelties and treatment of the Japanese cultural icons are questionable. It'd just be nice if your set wasn't slapping on religious imagery just for aesthetic purposes without regards for what or why they exist. Especially in conjunction with the soap thing. It'd be like making an Italian themed set with pizza novelties next to a few crosses next to the chemical symbol of charcoal, if you're catching my drift.
In the interest of not tearing you down completely, I'd definitely echo what the other person said and suggest pivoting to an orange theme. My recommendation is mikan, which is a variety of citrus that's close to a tangerine and very culturally significant. Hopefully you can take that direction! But please do your due diligence to research before you make changes to this set.
1) I would prefer to use Pantone 151 C (https://i.imgur.com/m23DbdJ.png) as the primary color reference, as opposed to GMK V2 that Monorange was aiming for. However, I'm not super stuck on either color. I do note that V2 is more well-known and it would skip the color matching step with GMK... I'll try to get a photo of V2 compared to the Pantone 151 C so people can see the difference. ePBT Creative studio has some samples of Pantone 151 C as reference.
re: Manufacturer
Given that it's pretty simple colourway and I'm not doing any fancy sublegends/modifiers or using a GMK stock color, nor do I want to force R5 kitting, I'm leaning towards pivoting away from GMK and going with a manufacturer which can make it a lot more affordable.
The 3 top contenders are WS, KKB and PBTFans. DCX is also an option, but their base kitting is fixed, with nil 40s support.
WS will probably be the most affordable and quickest, however my kitting options are comparatively relatively restricted compared to the other two (less novelties, no windowed keys, and a separate 40s is unlikely), however it has very aggressive pricing.
KKB has the most flexible kitting, but it's a matter of balancing costs.
For PBTFans, I'd first have to convince them to run it, which is probably the toughest hurdle since they utilise a pre-order/instock model, not groupbuy and already have a reasonably long queue I believe. It would be limited to icon only modifiers for bot row too as the community doesn't particularly like their icon/text modifiers. On the pro-side their doubleshot model kitting structure appears to allow for a lot more novelties than WS, they have windowed keys, and the do a 40s only modifier kit, and also split off the numpad from the base kit. The main negative, is that their estimated production timeline isn't particularly transparent as they've shifted to an in-stock/pre-order model (I'm still waiting for a confirmed production date for PBTFans Atomic Purple atm).
DCX is also a potential option, but I don't think Drop is particularly popular around these parts (despite them owning Geekhack lol).

go with DCXShow Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/drop-dcx-garnet-keycap-set/FP/WJs59yyTzezeRjgvZ3NJ_DCX%20Garnet%20-%20Base%20Kit%20(Final).png?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=fill&w=820&h=547&bg=f0f0f0&dpr=1&chromasub=444&q=70)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/5JsVsAv.png)
seriously, just go with DCX
just make this in orange and make use of their novelty tool, lack of 40s is irrelevant since 90% of people asking for it that will comment here don't even buy the sets and even if they did 40s users are irrelevant in comparison with the general audience. for every 40s user there's several thousands of people with normal keyboards out there
also, nobody is paying $120 for 5 months GMK sets anymore, $79 for the huge DCX base kit above is a NO BRAINER, for anyone with 2 brain cells furthermore:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/vdOlTMv.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/glTxbzV.png)
DCX Rocky Bird base kit is being sold for $69 on pre order with a $25 novelty kit, that is $94 for a decently sized BASE KIT + NOVELTY KIT on a great plastic tray
there's no argument to be made that GMK Monorange and other basic sets warrant any other supplier if not DCX, which by the way supports doubleshot PBT
your current base kit is literal DCX base kit minus 4 40s keys, your novelty designs can easily be ported to DCX, don't listen to the Drop/DCX haters that are about to come, they don't even own DCX
they hate on drop so they can look cool on novelkey discord, make this in DCX and I am buying 3 sets
I wouldn't be interested in a DCX set personally.same, I sold my hyperfuse as legends were so bad. also not a fan of paying import taxes on a product sold solely through an US vendor, any discount I can possibly hope to enjoy goes right out of the window. no 40s is also a huge disadvantage. nah dcx that ain't it
