Hi everyone! Welcome to our BLACK QUEEN's LAIR



GMK BLACK LOTUS KITS



BASEKIT




MONOCHROME MODS




WEEABO ALPHAS





NOVELTY KIT




40% kit




SPACEBAR KIT





MOCKUPS










1. Initially, it was done with SP DSA profile because it had more color swatches for me to pick but I really want to have them made in cherry profile 
2. Colors used are from SP's Color swatches for GMK had very few options
3. Custom colors might be applicable to this keyset specifically with the legends which uses light purple
4. Multiple color options for the enter and spacebars keys would be available in the final render

10/23/2016 Update
3d mock-ups are posted


9/23/2016 Update
New Render/sample with tentative keycaps for base set


Its based on the anime Accel world's and MTG's Black Lotus:






Here's a sample of what it looks like with SP's SA profile





19/03/2020 UPDATE

5. Theme was finalized. Time to look for vendors, I THOUGHT THIS PART WAS GOING TO BE SIMPLE.
a. First approached jchan, but we didnt agree on a launch date, until we had a fall out.
b. Approached Massdrop, they wanted to run the set but the timeline was ridiculous, wasnt able to wait.
c. Finally got in touch with TKC, but he also had a long queue, which got me impatient honestly.
d. Decided to finally run this independently through a new vendor, but didnt push through because nothing was set in stone.
e. TKC reached out, and finally said we can launch, but first try wasnt a good timing and we werent able to run, because of too many sets running.
f. Meme was out that this set wouldn't ever run.
g. Launch date announced by TKC. We will run GB on april 2020 :D ITS GETTING REAL SO FAST

Things to do:
1. ADD POLL
2. Gather Interest/Suggestions/Recommendations from GH members- ON GOING
3. UPDATE WITH GMK COLORS : That dark Purple modifier color isnt available on GMK
4. CREATE RENDERS OF EACH KIT : Base Kit done
5. CREATE 3D MODELS: 60% render done
6. DESIGN NOVELTY CAPS : DONE
7. Look for Vendor DONE AFTER 3 TRIES
8. Announce GB Launch date
9. Go Live
10. Waiting game
11. Sample approval
12. Shipping

my favourite color is light purple you have chosen for legend and quite fit into your theme. unfortunately, that color need to be customized for GMK which need 250 MOQ now. i pray that won't frighten us. since i would rather choose GMK .
DAS is beautiful as well , since SP has more color to match your theme's colors.

Yeah, I prefer the GMK personally. Hopefully more interest for this set! :D

Thanks for mentioning that, Im really new here and 250 MOQ is quite high but the legend colors make this set unique.  ;D

Definitely go with GMK in this case. I don't recall a GMK set in these colors; reminds me of SP's The Bro Set DCS. Also you may want to check GMK color chips too if you haven't already because these colors aren't necessarily available.

Yeah ive use SP's colors because im fairly new to this and the only ones i could find on keyboard layout editor with good purples was on SP's color swatches, still waiting on the updated GMK color swatches some have been uploaded in code form but i have no idea how to use it  :-[

Tthis set would look good in whatever you make it to be - this is relatively similar to GMK Halloween if you go that route but of course the theme's completely different. Either way, purple is my favourite colour and I'm purple+black is always an amazing combo so as long as budget allows, I'm definitely in on this no matter what.

Best of luck with the set!

IIRC KLE's GMK color swatches are outdated and there are more options now. Do you have the hex codes for some of the colors?

I'm usually not the biggest GMK fan (not quality-wise, just prefer SA/DSA profiles) but this set would look good in whatever you make it to be - this is relatively similar to GMK Halloween if you go that route but of course the theme's completely different. Either way, purple is my favourite colour and I'm purple+black is always an amazing combo so as long as budget allows, I'm definitely in on this no matter what.

So the only way I know how would be to use the RGB to hex code converter and reference the picture and the RGB codes provided here to generate the hex codes to use. http://www.javascripter.net/faq/rgbtohex.htm

A few are missing but still a good number. I believe there is a way to import the colors to KLE but I am unsure of this technique.

I could try to make renders using the GMK colors without using the keyboard layout editor :) the problem is i dont know the specs of the actual GMK keycaps coz i havent owned any.

I hope i can reproduce the colors as accurate as possible.

SP colors are still beter IMO, but if the interest allows me to have custom colors on GMK that would be better.  :thumb:

Honestly if you do a black and purple GMK set then you can bet your ass there will be interest, especially if you can find a way to stand out from the crowd!

Thanks! hopefully I can come up with better renders, im also open for novelty keys suggestions :D

currently im thinking about turning it into SA profile as ive seen a set very similar to this one in GMK, and because its a joy to have the SA looks and SP's colors  :p


This anime is one of my favorite all time and it would be a shame if i couldn't make something awesome with this concept...

Fan of Accel World from way back, and even got my handle now from it.

I like it, but quite frankly i'd like the spacebar to be the same as the mod color.

Also would like to see lotus novelties, albeit them being done in some way or another already. Even her butterfly wings could work.

Maybe even Black Lotus' armor itself as a cap would look nice. Something like her arms being crossed in a straight standing position.

I support this IC. Maybe even more ideas can be pitched to improve it! :D

Thanks for the suggestions sir, im keeping an open mind towards novelty caps.

Would be posting my ideas soon if my schedule permits, goodluck to me and my newbie render skills :thumb:

When I saw the IC's name I was secretly hoping it'd be a MTG BL themed set. I own all PN cards except the Lotus and I think that'd make for a really interesting key set honestly - either based on just the BL (probably easier) or all nine.

I love the color scheme, even if I haven't seen the show. If this does get made I'll definitely pick it up without the burst link enter.

You should definitely watch it! :D without that enter it could be any themed set for all i know, but the base set would come with a light purple and dark purple enter  :thumb:

If you could give me some ideas for novelties we could arrange to have those with the set :D

Thanks for the feedback, i think we could whip up several references with this themed set. Its still in the development stage and what matters to me is that the base set would be produced, novelties could have more options as to what the people want  :thumb:

Awww yiss. I hadn't noticed the fact you said you could whip up some novelties for the MTG Black Lotus, that picture of the most recent art for it is beautiful and matches the colourway of your set perfectly - I'd love to see what you'd be able to come up with. The oldschool classic Lotus has amazing art too but it wouldn't look as snazzy on a novelty plus the colours are different.

I've already got a bunch of GMK sets and I'm at the point where I don't need/want any more but this would be the exception, regardless of whether or not the MTG novelty comes to be. Lovely colourway overall.

PS: liking the new mockups!

Im going to work with my close friend on this especially on the novelties to create the best ones that can be done with GMK :D

I hope MTG Black Lotus Novelty doesn't rev up the price on this keyset since that card is super expensive  :))

LOL yea, it'll be my one chance to finally complete my beta/unlimited Power9 set without spending like 15k!  :blank: Hoping copyright doesn't get in the way too much, I really want that to work out.

Looking forward to other novelties you may be able to add to the set as well, they're always an exciting part of key sets for me.

Oh I just saw the novelties! I think the sketches are looking good, the lotus is definitely very nice.

I'm not sure what you mean by stripe kits exactly but if you need any opinions/advice regarding MTG related stuff in general for the set you can always PM me I'd be more than willing to help yea!
