[IC] KAM Soda Squid - GB Feb 17 - Mar 17
kinnju:
WELCOME TO A WORLD OF COLOURFUL CHAOS
In a faraway location in the middle of a barren, sun-scorched wasteland, lies a certain city.
Hardened by the surrounding desert, the residing cephlapods have adapted to the post-apocalyptic environment, swimming, splatting, rolling and surging their way to be the very best!
GB LINK
GB DATE
The group buy will run from February 17 to March 17 2025!
All GB orders will receive a free vinyl sticker featuring the KAM Soda Squid illustration I drew!
Why not a preorder?
Whilst I would have preferred a preorder, I've decided to go ahead with a group buy as recommended by the vendors. Considering the past performances of recent KAM sets, I believe it is possible to reach MOQ, and with Keyreative's cleared-out queue there should be limited delays during production.

DISCLAIMERS
Please note: While these designs have been inspired by popular video games, they are the sole independent creation of the artist.
They are in no way affiliated with, sponsored by, associated with, endorsed by or created in collaboration with any gaming companies or studios.
Due to numerous factors like differences in lighting, monitor calibrations, etc, there may be some slight colour differences in the renders.
All renders are done by myself so please excuse any beginner mistakes
I had to fund the lawyer fees somehow
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Huge thanks to all my cephalopod friends for being guinea pigs for me and dubbing it Soda Squid.
Thanks to the people in the Keycap Designers Discord server for giving all their invaluable feedback in the initial stages of the design and answering any questions I had.
Special thanks to blur and Cylent!
I don’t think I would have any renders if ImperfectLinks’s Keyboard Render Kit didn’t exist so thank you so much for creating such an easy way to create keyboard renders.
Also, huge thanks to NoPun10Did for being an absolute GOAT and helping me figure out kitting because it was literally driving me crazy.

keepoto:
cool design and the choice to use the KAM profile clearly matches the vibe of the set!
Surefoot:
That's fresh and original. Needs better layout support though :)

very well executed. I'm indifferent to the inspiration but it still translates well to the design.
