Sooo, the LIGHTNING STRIKES (all yellow) set kinda grew on me and I decided to go with that as the main set with Voltaic Green as a possible add on (kinda finding the right green for it though. I liked the earlier brighter green better, but I'm afraid it doesn't offer enough contrast).

Still just working on the colours and the base. Compatibility and Novelties, etc. will follow later down the road.

Also, I decided to make this GMK and Centered Legends. (Yes, I know that means a slightly higher pricepoint, but it'd pave the way for future, better looking gmk sets with center legends):

so this is still a work in progress and will be further working on this in due time

Much prefer these than your CP77 designs. The colours are nice IMO, but for the CP77 the design was a little too "erratic". Here, there's a simplicity to it, which I do enjoy.

thx... yeah, it's a bit more classic, which surely helps with these colours.

Lightning strikes looks crazy enough to work. If you can get the neon green/yellow color right, I think it will look very nice on a dark grey keyboard.

Definitely would be in for lightning strike and maybe another!

Too similar to GMK Malachite atm

lightning might be alright if done well but it would still be hit or miss with most people

First example set would look amazing on the sage M60A...

I would most likely buy one if done in gmk or sa (preferably gmk). Green is my favorite color and I almost always like sets with light blue legends.

imo not... the greens are different, other coloured accents.
didn't know about the malachite yet... also, didn't have malachite stone in mind at all when creating. (it's based off the colours I had in mind ages ago. maybe a bit unlucky they're more malachite like than the malachite IC itself, but what am I to do about that?)

made lightning strikes accents more electric / voltaic green

Al41 · « **Reply #13 on:** Sun, 17 June 2018, 15:17:47 »

I'm really liking this colorway. Especially with the green accent color. I like it as GMK too.

rioc · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 13 August 2018, 06:20:00 »

soo, did a rather pragmatic change to this idea / IC, but still working on it

flashy · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 13 August 2018, 11:25:12 »

Looks awesome! I love green!

Blaise170 · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 13 August 2018, 11:27:32 »

It actually looks quite nice, but I wouldn't want to pay the GMK premium for a set. I'd definitely use it if I had the set though.

rioc · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 04:09:03 »

hah... I wish my name had as much pull, then my OLD colourways for Voltaic Green would have found much more traction I guess

the colours remind me of something

Nautilus Nightmares looks extremely similar to this.

) tell me about it

dimo · « **Reply #20 on:** Thu, 13 September 2018, 11:34:38 »

I’m just gonna say that Nautilus Nightmares much more successfully pulled off the set, and that the two “themes” the sets are trying to gear towards is completely different. Voltaic green from the start has been attempting to push in these extremely bright “neon” colors that frankly made the set look very toyish and I don’t think many people were vibing with even the several renditions.

Nightmares however cleanly pulled off a more muted set that doesn’t have the eye grabbing bright colors voltaic had, and I think the “deep sea” theme they’re going for is almost a complete contrast of this more bright electric set.

I do however think the rise of all these green sets in GMK Wavez, Malachite, and Nightmares is going to be bad for MOQ if all of them are run in similar times.
