[IC] GMK Marmoreal | Groupbuy is live! March 21 - April 21
« on: Thu, 18 March 2021, 21:10:28 »


Groupbuy Link

Hello, and thanks for stopping by! I'm very excited to present my first set, GMK Marmoreal!


GB Date: March 21 - April 21 2022!

                                                                                                                                                                                     
After a year of development we're on the home stretch now, Group Buy is live! A big thank you to everyone who gave their feedback and support throughout the project- it doesn't happen without you all. Group Buy thread should be coming up later today!

Marmoreal: To be made of or likened to marble.

A set inspired and themed around the marble and architecture of the Barcelona Pavilion.

-A Bit of History-

More

                                                                                                                                                                                     
Mies van der Rohe was commissioned by the German Government in 1928 to design and construct the German National Pavilion (more commonly known as the Barcelona Pavilion) for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. Collaborating with Lilly Reich, the pavilion was designed and built in a remarkably short amount of time- 18 months from design to unveiling. Completed in 1929, the building quickly became a Modernist classic, embodying the progressive, sleek and forward thinking ethos behind the movement. The original pavilion stood only for a short time, and was demolished in 1930 at the end of the exposition. In its short time standing, the pavilion gained an almost mystical aura, becoming one of the most influential modernist buildings to have ever been built; while hardly being seen by anyone. The pavilion was reconstructed during 1984-1986 by local Spanish architects and the Barcelona City Council on its original site, as a permanant structure. Rebuilt according to the original drawings and photographs, the Barcelona Pavilion in its current incarnation continues to be a remarkable piece of architecture that delights visitors today, and is a testament to Mies's skill as an architect and designer.

The overall set colors and arrangment were inspired by the four types of marble used thoughout the pavilion's construction: Roman Travertine, Green Alpine, Ancient Green Greek and Golden Onyx. To simplify the number of colors (and cost), I opted to reduce the total number down to 3, with the green representing both the Green Alpine and Ancient Green Greek Marble. The novelties were based on significant features and moments in the current pavilion in addition to archived documents and drawings. As such, the novelties feature drawing sections and details, Georg Kolbe's sculpture Dawn, marble patterns and the like. In keeping with the Modernist basis, the choice was made to use icon modifiers, but I wanted to put a bit more fun in the set with some more elaborate novelty art.

The novelties are based on significant details and moments in the Barcelona Pavilion. As numbered, the novelties are: 1. Cigar (Mies was a known chain smoker), 2. Marble Pattern, 3. Building Elevation, 4. Column detail, 5. Pavilion chair, 6. Feature wall, 7. Window joint detail, 8. Dawn by Georg Kolbe. The accent arrows have also been moved from the basekit to the novelties for the time being to reduce basekit costs.

I think it's quite nice!
i really like the colors you chose, they fit the theme really well, and really work together imo.
Was a nice intro read lol
I do think the novelties can be more cohesive with less thin lines.
I also think the renders can be touched up a bit with better lighting, though your SP111 renders were great

I was thinking the same thing and although the colour combo works in principle I'm not sure the dark alphas and light mods play well with each other.

Thanks for the feedback! and yes, looking at the renders in a smaller resolution really does show the thin lines.. something to add to the to fix list for sure. Working on getting better at renders so that'll hopefully get better as I do more. ^^

Thanks for the feedback! I was really trying to avoid GMK Kaiju- other than inverting the colors, the green is a deeper, and more saturated, while the orangey brown is more muted than the Pantone used in Kaiju. But please also leave your comments in the IC form, as I'll be relying on that in addition to comments to make necessary updates.

I think the color and kitting are good. Now, can you consider adding novelties for ISO enter, at least an accent one?

I was very interested in the marble theme but the colours just turned out... very un-marbley. And am I the only one who sees the tampon in the novelty kit?  :))

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

it's using the default text color which is white. If he used black, everyone using the regular mode can't read it.  I'm not too sure, but i think that more people are using dark mode, which is why most ic's use white. Unless it's supposed to change to black or something like that.

Yeah, I agree. I think a lighter colour for the alphas would help the set become more eye-catching. Nonetheless, a very nice set.

Hey all, I've been out of communication for a bit, but I've been busy at reworking a lot of stuff in this set, and I'm happy to present the Version 2 update incorporating all the feedback!

The list of changes include:

  • Updating alphas, legends and accent colours.
  • Redrawing almost all novelties
  • Adding in Alpha Mod Kit
  • Rerendering sets


Deskmats, vendors and collabs still to come!

Cheers,

Not at this time, but kitting has yet to be finalized, so there may be some changes still. If there are a lot of requests for this I'll consider it, so make sure you fill out the IC form!

I think I would prefer the green as the mods and white as alphas, but obviously thats just my preference. The colors are really nice tho

Does not feel like a new concept  more like a switcharoo of colors from existing sets  because the first thing I saw was kaiju or bento or whatever it's called

Treeleaf is truly going insane  Please help him!!!!!!!!

I think I would prefer the green as the mods and white as alphas, but obviously thats just my preference. The colors are really nice tho

Thank you!

Awesome! instacop.

Yeah, I noticed that, a bit of a screw up on my part, but there will be another large update soontm as the novelties are under review right now for manufacturing compliance. I'll be re-rendering things once those are cleared.

Re: [IC] GMK Marmoreal | Kitting update and new renders!
« Reply #30 on: Mon, 28 June 2021, 22:27:54 »
Kitting update is live! also added new renders featuring the Ellora65!

Kitting changes were done in response to community feedback and vendor recommendations and are as follows:

F13 Added
R3/R4 pgup/pgdn removed
R1 Pipe removed
Accent arrows moved to novelties.

The reasoning here is to keep the basekit as affordable as possible, and accent arrows in the novelties kit allows me to keep them for minimal cost.

Personally, I feel like accent arrows being in any other kit would be a better spot for it as I personally have no attachment to the content of the novelties and will pass on them as I feel most others would as well if accent arrows were not in there(no offense, very clean designs but again the subject matter is not enough to get me to spend 50+ on it). Slapping accent arrows onto novelties feels like a trick to get people to buy the kit.

Adding them to novelties is a pretty odd decision.

Would recommend adding them to spacebar kit à la GMK Stargaze or GMK Norse(among others) as that people actually buy and will help keep the base kit price down.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! The problem of putting the accent arrows into the spacebars is that it introduces an additional colour into the spacebar kit, which will significantly increase cost, versus the colours already being present in the novelties kit. With that said, I'm working towards GMK quoting, so it'll be a bit of a wait and see on what comes out of that. But I do understand where you're coming from on this. Its not an optimal solution, but its the best one I have so far based on what I've heard from my vendors.

The caps on the grey HAUS is definitely one of my favorite looks for the set so far, alongside the cream Mountain Alice. By the way, any chance for a deskmat like the Barcelona Pavilion blueprint in the HAUS render? That'd be an easy cop for me

This looks a lot like a muted GMK Deku, which I'm already in, but it looks like this Marmoreal set has a huge advantage in that it has Alt Mods that are alpha-colored. I'm in if it makes it.

I think you can remove the 2 R4 1.25u of Pavilion chair since 1 pair of 1.5u is enough, also please consider using the design of numpad enter novelty for iso enter, I think the number of people who actually use numpad enter novelty is significant smaller than iso enter users.

Thanks so much! Perhaps- I am working with an illustrator on the deskmats right now, and we'll have at least one that has imagery from the building.

I think you can remove the 2 R4 1.25u of Pavilion chair since 1 pair of 1.5u is enough, also please consider using the design of numpad enter novelty for iso enter, I think the number of people who actually use numpad enter novelty is significant smaller than iso enter users.

Thanks for the feedback, and I'll definitely consider it! I'm thinking of putting the wall onto the 1.5u instead of the chair, but I want to get GMK feedback before proceeding with updates to the novelties, as I suspect there will be changes required to meet their manufacturing standards.

I like the theme here, but think the set would look more classy with Icon+Text mods.

I did try out Icon+Text, but I wanted to keep things a bit simpler for this one. A bit of a personal preference, but while Icon + Text is a viable option on this set imo I felt mostly icon fit better with the overall theme.

Yeah I think i need to be in on this one, I love the colors.  Nice work!

Thank you!

This looks a lot like a muted GMK Deku, which I'm already in, but it looks like this Marmoreal set has a huge advantage in that it has Alt Mods that are alpha-colored. I'm in if it makes it.

Thanks! I'm hopeful that it'll make it as well  :)

Re: [IC] GMK Marmoreal | DESKMATS POSTED, IC FORM UPDATED!!!

Hey everyone, Happy New Year, and I hope you all had a great holiday! As an update going into the new year, Deskmats have been posted and the IC form has been updated, so let me know what you all think! We'll probably be running at least 2 options, but possibly more depending on the feedback. In other exciting news, we are currently looking at a February/March GB date, so stay tuned. I'll be putting up collabs and more renders as we approach that date!

8x1.25 R4 novelties feels excessive, especially with only 2x1.5.

1.5u and 1.75u backspaces in your kit renders should be swapped, as they're currently in the wrong positions.

You have 3x1.25 controls in the bottom row in base kit render.

I enjoy the look of this set - prefer the look of the simpler deskmats though.

Given the interest I got so far, there's not enough to support an international kit unfortunately. I do agree an international kit would be nice to have and is thematically appropriate.

1.5u and 1.75u backspaces in your kit renders should be swapped, as they're currently in the wrong positions.

Good catches! I'll get on those, and thanks! I'll consider the novelty kitting. There's still a bit of time but considering the deadlines its going to be close. The kitting was based on GMK Seafarer with a couple additional keys added in; but thinking about it  4x1.5u and 6x1.25u may not be too bad either since it allows for a full novelty tsangan...
