Woah... Whoever did the kit renders should do all the renders from now on. They look amazing.I did the renders myself! I was worried they weren't too good because I'm very inexperienced lol.
personally i think the novelties are in poor taste. i understand that they are on theme, but self harm and mental health disorders are not something that should be monetized for profit. if you were to say, donate the proceeds of the novelties kit to a charity that helps people with mental health issues i could get behind it. but thats just my two cents.I get what you’re saying. I honestly didn’t even think about making any profits for designing a keycap set and it’s not my intention to profit off of mental health disorders. I thought this could be controversial which is why i’m also considering changing the focus more towards horror/gore rather than self-harm/mental health.
regardless i like the colors and the renders look nice
I based this keycap set of of Japan's "Yami Kawaii" aesthetic. Yami kawaii means "dark/sick cute" in English and is based around pastel, cute designs with a subtle and dark twist.
My idea for this set was to make the main focus the pastel and cute colors, with dark and edgy accents, to create an interesting and somewhat jarring contrast.
I love this concept. I'll be keeping my eyes on those novelties. I'm a little interested in what the old renders looked like since I personally feel like it's a shame this had to move to a more horror approach since the Yami Kawaii aesthetic is very closely tied with self harm/mental illness. It was originally meant to promote awareness of those subjects throughout Japan which were often avoided or even ignored because of the stigma. Regardless, would love to see this hit GB.what horror approach?
