[IC] GMK MOAI : Announced GB Date!! 4th MAY

[pol139]

I'm happy to announce a set I've been working on for a while!
I am interested in world history, and I am also interested in world mystery facts.
One of the biggest inspirations that I designed this set was Moai.
The moai stone statue was made of volcanic rock.

I think the color of volcanic rock is not completely black, but between black and brown.
Also, I think the inside of volcanic rock is somewhere between grey and dark gray.



For more information on moai, please see the link below.

I think it's similar to DOLCH, but the color is different. Thank you for reply

I know it, too.But isn't it amazing to see such a mysterious stone statue?

The first comment is MOAI icon, so I'm so happy. Thank you

I think this has nice inspiration. I agree that it is a little similar to dolch, and I bet there's a way you could do something to help differentiate. I'd like to see more variation in the novelties, they all kind of look the same. Neat idea though and I hope you continue to work on this.

Sorry..Oh, I couldn't announce the color.I'll upload it right away.

I agree with your opinion.
If you watch "Novelties" carefully, you'll see it differently.

We plan to continue updating.
Thank you for your feedback.

I think he may be referring to the gray background on all of the images.

OK, Then, I'll try to change the background color. Thank you for telling me.

The IC form has interested kits as radio buttons, which would be better as multiple selections.

As to differentiate from dolch, maybe add some accents of colors typically shown in Moai photos? Like green / brown of the grassland or blue from sky / sea? I noticed that some photos even have the stones in yellow-ish warm colors under sunshine.

[UberPlatypus]

Novelties will help make this different from other sets. Really hoping to see something very creative like "Maoi" on ISO or 1.25 keys.

Thank you for your reply. 1.25 is included in the novelties that I prepared.
Do you mean 'ISO enter' keycap?

The IC form changed. I will also consider the color, and if there is a good color, I will think it.

[totalemon]

Definitely agree about adding accents. Not to beat a dead horse, but it might need some extra colour to differentiate it from Other Sets. I bet a yellowish grey for accents/spacebars would look awesome. Also agree about the novelties, the concept is really cool and I can see a lot of potential for landscape/beach related designs. GLWIC!

After collecting feedback on IC Form, if there is a color that matches MOAI,I plan on applying colors.

[HappyB0T]

Its a Moai Boi

[iinko_mk]

really nice, but i think investing in some better renders might not be a bad idea.

[pol139]

I am also making a lot of efforts on rendering right now.
Update to better rendering. Thank you for your feedback.

This unironically looks good

That 1st pic/render of keys (just the key no keyboard) made the set look god awful, but all the others make it look appealing.

[ReverbSlush]

As a big fan of Gradius - I’ll be keeping an eye on this!

I'm also worried about overall rendering. A new rendering is in progress. Thank you

Hello, if you want to collab on deskmat designs, let's talk adxlk#3587

Looks too much like Dolch, please become more innovative. It's like doing Carbon copy but with green legends instead of black. It doesn't work~
Good luck

I agree with your feedback.I think there is a slight difference.
I plan to correct it through IC form feedback.

[Newsbusel]

At first I was thinking, just another GMK set, but I think the design is growing on me 

[Shiba1337]

Colors are similar to dolch, and legends are harder to read. Would recommend trying to get higher quality renders if possible, because it is hard to see how the set will actually look from these. Not a bad start, but really needs some tweaking.

tbh this looks better than dolch and the ledgends are fine as is but idk if gmk would go with this. My PREFERENCE with those colors would be better pbt like Infinikey

I dont understand the addition of a yellow accent here. It looks good objectively, but given the subject matter it makes little to no sense. Unless you have a good rationale for it, I just really don't think it fits here.

[Cubic // esc lab]

Oh my god I love everything about this

There were various feedbacks through IC Form and feedbacks about the beaches and sun of Easter Island. There was also an opinion about green grass.
I thought about it a lot and worked on it.
I'm sorry that I didn't satisfy everyone.

I generally agree that this is a good looking yellow accent but hard to be linked to the theme.

Have you tried to looking at GMK sandstorm as I think it got some yellow / brown color that can be linked to sand / stone?

No pressure on it as I consider GB a way to group people with similar preferences and produce what you want. Don’t work too hard to satisfy everyone.

[Newsbusel]

I see your being criticized for the sets similarities Dolch, so I recommend more colors such as #363026 or #1b1813

I blinked and this became GMK Incognito?  )

I don't hate the yellow accent but I'm having a hard time linking it to the set. The vibrancy looks a lot more like a Heavy Industry/Incognito cybery vibe than anything to do with nature. If you're set on yellow and are still open to colour tweaks, may I suggest you look for a less saturated yellow?

[hottrout]

Thank you for including UK ISO in the base kit, for this alone I have ordered to support you.  I love the particular shade of grey used on the alphas as well.
