GMK Kuroge Wagyū (黒毛和牛)11.05.21 Set is put on indefinite hiatus, first run came with a lot of problems and lots of lessons. Still want to do something with the theme but only after I am happy with the output. Will be putting on hold as I prepare a fully fleshed out kit and not a piece at a time. 03.16.21 New Novelty Feedback Form: https://forms.gle/54MfcKRDR9g98ThD9Original IC Form (get notified when we get to GB!): https://forms.gle/18vFzBzTPMPqinAX7IntroWelcome to the GMK Kuroge Wagyū (黒毛和牛) interest check! This set features the classic WoB with Hiragana sublegends with GMK icon mods and novelties inspired by the “Japanese Black” cattle breed, known for being a wagyū breed. Kuroge Wagyū directly translates to “Black Cow” in English. This set is aimed to be minimalistic, while also being aesthetically pleasing.
ColorsGMK Kuroge Wagyū uses WS1 legends on a CR base.
Who am IMore
I have been a long time lurker of the community. Early this year, I helped revive the Vancouver Mechanical Keyboard Meetup, it was a great experience and part of what pushed me deeper into this hobby. As of late, I have been spending a lot of time cooped up at home like many others and began researching for new sets to match with my keyboards. Apparently none match for what I want so I am now making it with the help of some friends!
Novelties InspoMore
For the novelty design, I am taking inspiration from the 'Japanese Black' cow breed most well known for being one of the four wagyu beef breeds. Its pitch black hide is the perfect match for the set! Kuroge Wagyū is also known Kuro Ushi or "Black Cow" in English.
I decided to use an onion and mushroom because they are served grilled at Teppanyaki or cooked in a hotpot with the shabu shabu style.
Sake is a common drink that goes along with wagyū, good food, good drinks.
