[IC] GMK/DSA Pharaoh
« on: Sat, 15 October 2016, 23:47:29 »
Here's an Ancient Egyptian-themed set with a blue-on-gold color scheme inspired by King Tut's mask. The blue is SP's BFU and the yellow is SP's YCB. Tell me what you think!

Render


Colors


Note: These colors have been used in 1976 and Danger Zone, respectively. Look at these sets in person or look at pictures of these sets to get an idea of what the colors will look like in real life.

Updates
  • 10/17/16: new colors
  • 10/25/16: new yellow

To do
  • 3D render
  • child deals
  • novelties

Haha, the colors do look a little like those of the flag of Sweden, but unlike it, the set is more gold than blue. The novelties I have planned will also make it clear that it's not supposed to represent that.

Really really cool, some king tut mask modifiers would be sweet too.

I like it, but I'm not sure about the yellow. Yellow is kind of hard get right, in my opinion. If we could get renders, that would be very nice.

See my reply above. The same applies.

I've been thinking about making those, but I would almost certainly have to reduce the number of stripes if I do. Because of that, I'm leaning more towards sphinxes and pyramids.

I want to gauge the general interest in the color scheme before making renders. If the set does get to that stage, though, I'll make sure the yellow works.

Yeah tats understandable, sphinxes and pyramids are just as iconic so I think that would be a good alternative. Also, I think the yellow looks great. I don't know anything about how difficult it is to get correct, but thats just my $0.02.

I've posted SP's yellow color chips as the render may be a little misleading.

After taking a look at pictures of color chips and sets that have already been produced, I realized that KLE shows colors darker than they are in real life, which means that the colors I picked were too light. I've picked some new colors which are more faithful to the colors of the mask.

Wow, YCH is a bright-ass yellow.

BFU was a very good choice, though.  I speak from experience.   ;)

Hi everyone, here's a quick update.

I'm considering switching the manufacturer to GMK, or changing the profile to DSA if I am to stick with SP. The primary reason for this is that the backlog for SA sets is a little longer than I realized. In addition, I want my sets to be both beautiful and functional, and I'm hearing people say they don't like typing on SA a little too often for comfort. I'm leaning towards the first option.

I'm also going to try to meet Yanbo from Massdrop next month. He is going to give me access to Massdrop's color ring so I can finalize the colors that are going to be used by this set, and I'm hoping to discuss with him the possibility of running this set through Massdrop while I'm at it.

That's about it! I hope you're all enjoying this holiday season!

Okay, so I met with Yanbo today and I was able to compare Massdrop's color chips to a picture of the mask. BDH is almost an exact match for the blue, so I am sticking with that. YB is the closest to the yellow, but not exactly the same. I might end up using a custom yellow.

Next I'm going to be working on the kits, including the novelty kit you've all been waiting for. Stay tuned!
