228435-0

Inspiration
More
My initial inspiration was coins, I collect coins including pennies. I love the varying colors you get with copper pennies, almost no 2 coins look alike.
This made choosing the right colour for copper a bit of a challenge but I am extremely happy with the look of the Copper colour I have decided on.

The second inspiration is Patina If you aren't familiar with this I hope you enjoy a basic bit of chemistry. When Copper ages and is exposed to various natural elements it can form
a number of chemical compounds on its surface. The result of the creation of these compounds is a wide range of almost unbelievable colours. For this keyset I have taken inspiration from
the slightly oxidized aged colour of Copper the extremely aged and unrecognizable look of Oxidized Brown Copper and the almost luminescence
and likely more common Cyan Patina

Copper is the perfect fit as inspiration for a keyset, it allows for a ton of options to represent Copper and its many looks.

Colours

I wanted to add a small description about the colour selection. Originally I had keyed in on the Pantone Colour "Copper Coin"  (https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/18-1537-TPX) as this seemed like a great way to achieve the copper theme. Using normal non metallic colours to emulate a metallic look is certainly
difficult and may not work for everyone. After continuing to look at colours and stumbling across a Pantone book at work I made the modification to change to Pantone 7522 C (https://www.pantone.com/color-finder/7522-C) as this offered a lighter solution for the alphas.
Copper is not only tricky because of its metallic properties but because of its range in between pink/brown/orange hues. For the mods after making some initial changes due to recommendations in the community, I wanted a brown inspired by some of my sample patina/oxidation images that didn't look black but also did look rusty (another great dark orange set is currently in IC)

I hope that gives some context and if you dig into some of the hidden sections of my post you can see that the more chocolaty browns do appear in oxidized copper.

BIG UPDATES

Group Buy -   set for January. The exact date is not confirmed but it will likely begin the 2nd week of January and run through the first week of February

Base Kit updated - I have updated the Base Kit to include the R3 |/ (while retaining the ~# Jae!) and added an R4 1.5u Super as this was the most requested key to be added, things are pretty locked down but if anything overwhelming came up it might be possible to make changes

Deskmats - Thank you all for the overwhelming feedback on the deskmats, due to the number of responses and relatively close race I have decided to offer both of the new mats for a total of 3

Update - October 19th
My first crack at building out the kits (novelties still to come) Artist renders will be coming but wanted to get some feedback from the community first so took a crack at KLE and used kbrenders to get a great looking kit render I think

Here are some images of the beauty that can come from Patina'd piece of copper

Also to continue my inspiration I tried an experiment to see what kind of colour I could acheive on a pure piece of copper

228119-22
228121-23

There are a number of other interesting and amazing things about Copper that you may or may not know, and hopefully as the set evolves this amazing metal will become something you want to represent on your favourite board!!




Here is a KBrender of the latest design

228211-24

Old renders
I present an early KLE render of GMK Copper (more renders to come - legends are not final and only representative of default KLE)

228123-25

Finally got my kbrenders render (thanks CQ_Cumbers) Thanks for all the great feedback, looking into options but here is the better render to continue the conversation

228150-26

Updated KLE render --> Please comment on the updated colourway. A lot of feedback around the black so for comparison with a dark brown that compares nicely with one of my inspiration pics
Using RAL 030 20 10 for the mods now and my main copper colour for the alphas (if feedback is positive improved renders will be coming)

228156-27


Updated with lighter accent which I like as I agree with the switch the TU2 was to dark Thoughts?

Love the origin/theme behind it though I'm a bit torn on black alphas. I understand that it's going for contrast but possibly a dark beige or brown like in your images might suit the theme better?

Need to wait for better renders but so far it looks like a nice set :thumb:

Theme is great, but not big on the black.
I like copper because of the different shades it can have when fully polished to patina to the green on it.

There's a lot of inspiration that can be drawn from the images you have posted for additional colors.

It would seem to me this would be one of the sets that would be better off by having one color for alphas and TWO colors for the mods (like Carbon did). Different patina tones, perhaps?

+1 to this.
imo the black alphas are too much black for being a copper-like set. but if you switch the alphas/mods colors you'll get close to GMK Forge.

Like the new alphas colour now, but I feel with the theme changed from contrasting mods to complimentary mods and alphas which I think work really well there is no place for bright accent keys. Possibly tone down the blue a couple or shades or completely remove it as it feels like a completely different set.

I'm a big fan of the updated render. :thumb:

Are the colors for the alphas text the same as the blue ESC and Enter key? The ESC and Enter colors look similar to brown modifiers but the alphas look more grey to me. I think it's just my eyes playing tricks on me.

Yes they are the same, its using the brow mods colour for both the legends on the ESC/Enter and the alphas,  but I agree it does show up looking greyish. I suspect updated renders will fix that.

Withe positive feedback I might spark up an upgraded render. Still waffling on the suggestion to change the blue to something lighter. Might play with that and see how I like it. Really want to stay with the blue patina in the set.

Updated with a lighter accents which I think looks better so thanks for all the great feedback!  I really wouldn't want to remove completely but of course set owners will have the option to go all brown in mods. Hope you like it, interested in more of yours and others feedback, keep it coming

I was leaning towards darker accents, but this with it's less saturated colours I think ties the set really well.

IMHO, everyone and their dog and their cat is going to have a different idea of how the patina should look like. The "patina" kit you thought up is large enough to NOT be much of a stretch to actually make a whole "patinalphas" kit and let everyone pick and choose his or her or its own pattern.

Great question Agilr, the Octopus and Spider are haemocyanins, which means instead of having iron in the blood to transport oxygen, they have copper

Thanks for the kind words on the renders

Great question Agilr, the Octopus and Spider are haemocyanins, which means instead of having iron in the blood to transport oxygen, they have copper

Thanks for the kind words on the renders

Lovely set! I hope you are planning to have EU proxy?  :thumb:

Could you do more renders with other base colors. Got the graphite and plum Iron165 SE version but not sure how the set would work with them.

I have an extra copper badge so at least that would match for sure lol

Only not sure about the accent color. Maybe something with a tiny bit more greenish so it can make it a bit more complimentary in terms of warmth to the alphas and modifiers. Which ral color is that?

edit: Just saw Mykeyboard as EU vendor. Either it was just added or i am blind :D Thought about some other options for the accents but couldn't find a better match, so leave it as it is !

I was googling yesterday to see if there was any copper themed sets and what do ya know I wake up to this today haha. Thought its amazing, I would've liked a more orange or bare coppery colorway vs the current set being so heavy on what I personally interpret as a more milk chocolate-y/clay light brown. Most likely in for one regardless. Good luck!  ;D ;D ;D

Is it possible to include a R1 1u back key as well please? For those who spilt their backspaces.

I will review all the key requests and update the forum for any updates once all the feedback is in, thanks for the info, I have noticed that no other sets including basic ortho/40s support have this, can you use another guy in its place? Possibly "-" and "delete"?

I added some updates to the main post about the colour choices. I totally get what your saying and as mentioned above its a bit tricky to hit what I was going for. I felt Copper coin (or the very slightly ligher variant of that colour got me the closest. Also have a look at some of more old info and some of those pics capture these colours
Glad to hear you are still in much appreciated!

Lol yeah I had Mykeyboard there when I was creating the page but must have accidentally deleted so updated and must have got it in time for you to see on refresh :) Other renders coming for sure and your request has been noted for sure :)

Thanks appreciate the feedback especially from a legend  :thumb:
