DCD Sample Part 2 (8/30/23)

There are good and bad news. Overall I'm happy.
The good: overall looks amazing and DROP is working on getting the color right.
The bad: As you can see in Picture 1. The color didnt come out right. So we are getting a new sample.

Picture 1: the blank cap is the final color. As you can see the set it's more brownish.

Pictures Time

DCD Sample

*Pictures taken by me. Also lighting is hard. Sorry for the mismatch between lighting.
*For this round of samples of DCD the goal was to get it color match. Its just a tiny bit off so we are getting one more round a bit more lighter.

UPDATE 6/20/23
First of all I want to say sorry for the delay, but colormatching is hard. Most colors were approved on R1. But the Teal color took 4 rounds.
- Im getting one more sample about the font sizes once I get that the set will be ready for the full sample set.
- Hibi Collab SOONTM
- This should run within the next 3 Months on DROP

UPDATE 7/3/23
- Hibi Collab Announcements
- Full Sample Kits has been ordered!

Beige, birbs, 40s and Alice spacebars? I'm in

make the colors on the keyset more like the colors on the deskmat. Could have something cool but its bland rn IMO

Deskmat slaps, the art style is great.

I dont bangs with UV but the symbols are cool

that mat is incredible

TyPo.mk · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 07:08:01 »

The mat is awesome, the subs are cool and you’ve clearly put a lot of work into them. I would recommend choosing a dye sub manufacturer though and maybe lean into the crazy colorful mat and offer some colored mods or something

straychild01 · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 11:22:55 »

Very nice. I know I always ask for _Ñ_ on the international kits, but that ISO birb is just lovely. Edit: I didn't mention the deskmats which is also very neat

Friendship · « **Reply #10 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 11:40:34 »

Personally I like the minimalism of the set as it will contrast with the busy deskmat very well.

I haven't wanted a set/deskmat combo in a while so this is very cool

Yuinth · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 12:15:26 »

The set looks great and that deskmat is awesome.

GLWIC & GB!

unwashed_heathen · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 12:19:04 »

Usually not into busy deskmats but this is amazing. Very interested in the set as well, not sure if I would join GB or wait for extras with current GMK lead times.

Would love to see 1.25U/1.5U r4 novelties. Maybe red trees to match the jungle theme.

treeleaf64 · « **Reply #13 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 13:04:15 »

1. text + icon mods
2. move bird mods into novelties
3. Ñ
4. where is the jungle : )

Yayayaya!!!

ggggggg · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 13:21:15 »

I'm no injection mould, but are you sure those mods are actually doable? Seems like there's a lot of very thin lines and tight angles.

Looks doable to me, worst case would require to just make them slightly thicker/larger

Exactly my thoughts. Looooove birds, just not vibing on the colors except the mat.

Chippy · « **Reply #17 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 19:41:43 »

One of the best deskmats I have seen in a long, long time! You should get it done on a rough textured mat.

Rafa_n · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 07 December 2022, 19:51:24 »

can GMK even do those sublegends? seems too detailed, lines are too thing and close together

The point of it was to make good contrast with the deskmat and keep the set itself simple. For people who would like more colors on the set im working on an accent kit and not the same one kit thats on the post right now.

3.

Changes incoming:
-Bird Icon mods are going to the Novelty Kit + they are getting other novelties for the Ctrl, alt, etc.
-Icon only mods are replacing Bird icon mods.
-Ñ is coming SoonTM
-The current Macros + accents is dead. The macros are going to the novelties kit and the Accent kit will be totally new with more colors.

Thank you so much everyone for the constructive feedback!

Love the idea, need more sets with unique "sublegends"

Also, beautiful deskmat!

Good luck!

Hi guys!

So I need your opinion on DCD. To be honest I can see pros and cons but I would like your guys feedback.

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #28 on:** Wed, 14 December 2022, 15:35:28 »

Your original vision was GMK, I say commit to it.

Hi guys!
Update time:
Changes:
-Changed base kit changed to regular icon mods
-Add new Novelties + Bird Mods
-Add new Accents Mods
-Add Colors
-New renders

Still havent decided on the manu. I was hoping to get better feedback than just stick GMK. I was never sold on the idea of GMK to be begin with.
I can see way more Pros of going with any Dye sub Manu. For faster lead times and samples. I would love the idea to run it with GMK but im not sure if its the right moment as of now.

SwitchKeys · « **Reply #31 on:** Mon, 19 December 2022, 19:16:18 »

Faster lead times? Unlikely
Colours? Worse
Clarity of legends? Worse
Potential for issues? Much higher

Even with samples many recent PBT sets have had issues. At least with GMK they will nail your pantone if you have the chips to support what you want to achieve. If anything just make sure the renders you have already done look somewhat like the physical samples you plan to match to.

arr1 · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 22 December 2022, 01:18:28 »

I would stick with GMK as well, but you are the one with the final choice. As mentioned, color matching means to me the most

phatmasterq · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 22 December 2022, 16:22:29 »

i checked out Roksow on iG. tell that homie any of those designs land on a deskmat i'm copping (including your birds one which is just magnificent).

Theman2k · « **Reply #34 on:** Thu, 22 December 2022, 17:21:28 »

Yeah, I agree with others.
No Drop please, terrible.

I would prefer GMK.

Please make SA SP version.
BTW, the deskmat is really nice. I would have 1, definitely
Thank you for your work

treeleaf64 · « **Reply #39 on:** Mon, 30 January 2023, 19:00:32 »

this is even better than I thought. DMK samples are fine. please don't use Drop : )

Are the bird sublegends still being UV printed? Why not just dye sub? I wanted to order 2 full sets for gifts but then I saw "UV printed"...

Hello!
Yes the set is going to be full dye sub. I forgot to change that from the IC.

Update:
The full samples kits are under FedEx right now. I'm picking them up on Sunday.
