Today I bring you guys something I have being working on for a couple of months.
It's base in the Hyacinth Macaw. They are also know as "The Dream Bird". Its the biggest type of macaw and very sweet almost like a pet.

Base Kit
*The reason for going no numpad is simply because by doing so I can aim for a higher MOQ at a more decent pricing. Hopefully you guys can understand that.

You will have to substantiate that claim. Could you say which couple of other sets, so buyers can decide?

I was thinking this is something relatively novel, as opposed to all the sets that are variations on Dolch or Honeywell, for example.

But maybe I am just not into all the sets that have run already, and I still have something to learn from you.

Then again, unless it’s a blatant shameless ripoff (and I’ll have to be the judge of that, after being shown the similar other sets) I’ll probably buy it even if it’s close to those other sets.

That’s because the GBs for those other sets have run already, so my only option to get the predecessors is to pay way above GB price on r/mm, for sets that are possibly already shiny from somebody else’s oily fingers.

The only good gmk sets are the fully shiny ones, also this does look close to nautilus, but yeah let the wallets decide.

I personally find the name "Bird" extremely bland, imo you could've definitely done better on that aspect. I also don't understand the appeal on that extra N in base, and I'd say that some of your novelties aren't within specs. GLWIC

Ktting feedback:
_ Novelty: as the majority of the community is 65/75s, I recommend moving those R4 1u novelties to cover the right nav column from R1 to R4, I use paint to modify your novelty kit so you can visualize my idea, I attach the file in this comment. By doing this, you give more people incentive and reason to buy this kit.
_ Spacebar kit: please add a 6.25u accent space bar to this kit. This also gives more people incentive and reason to buy it.
I want to echo someone about the naming, I believe Bird is kinda bland for the name, how about using the science name of the bird for the set?

How about GMK Nautilus (R1 and R2). I'd say colorwise these are similar.

That may well be, good point. Though I still like the other colours he/she worked in with the blue. I’ll have to see what the novelties on Nautilus looks like.

I’d say the impression with Nautilus is more formal, navy-like, where this is more tropical and exotic.

Yeah, Nautilus does look very similar, I have to concede. However, I still think the impression created is different with the more vibrant blue and the yellow legends on the alphas, instead of cyan legends.

I’m still interested.

My gut says you wouldn't use those words to describe those sets if you weren't familiar with the novelties and designer based 'themes' for them and were just presented with colors.

Well It's because its for my community which they use the Ñ. Internaltional kits barely make it to MOQ even with popular sets. I'll re check the novelties. Thank you

Thank you so much for the feedback! Ill be redoing the kitting for the novelties and the spacebars kit to what you said.
Now to the name I just wanted something simple. But I dont mind considering new ones. Maybe GMK Dream Bird?.

Hey. I updated the IC with FAQ and with small evolution in of the set and how it came to be the way it is. It is a vibrant blue. The mods are dark blue because before they were black. I changed this because when working in the novelties I noticed that the bird would come out black and the bird is not black.

I look at the bird and the first thing comes to my mind is that blue parrot from the cartoon "Rio", so I don't know, as long as the name is not only "Bird", it's gonna be ok.

I don't want to use the name macaw for the reason that I put in the FAQ. Also they do call then the dream bird so.

Thanks. I still think it creates a different impression to Nautilus, and I like the vibrant blue. Good work, IMO!

Another question, please. I can see the set would look well on boards that are
- gray
- black
- a very specific shade of blue.

I imagine it will also look OK on silver and e-white. Can you propose any other colours where this would work well? Can you help with renders that would help us see your examples?

Thanks!

Thanks!

=== Colours vs predecessors ===

I conceded earlier that this _is_ close to Nautilus. I also picked up that there was an earlier attempt to do a GMK Macaw set, and you weren’t happy with that. I didn’t see that other set.

But I maintain that the impression is different to Nautilus, thanks to the more vibrant blue and the differently coloured alpha legends.

I still like this set. I’m considering getting in on it (if I can afford it) and I didn’t feel like getting in on Nautilus. Any way, I’ll have to buy Nautilus on the aftermarket now even if I wanted it, and I definitely can’t afford that.

=== Colours, matching with keeb colours ===
I would still like renders on different colours of boards please. I want to see colours apart from “the neutral suspects” (e-white, black, silver, grey) and a very specific shade of blue. Ones that you feel might work with this set.

I may go and consult fashion blogs again , like I did to get some ideas what might work with a lavender keyboard.

Hey sadly only like 10 people according to the form wanted 40s. So I'm taking the whole kit out and just adding the r3 1.5u enter,  r2 1.75 enter, and 1.25u tab. I personally like 40s and their community but sadly as of now I can't offer a full kit for them.

Would you consider adding UK ISO to the base kit please?  I Love the all dark alphas + mods look.

Hey I did thought of giving full UK ISO to the base, but the base was huge already in the first iteration. Sadly I dont think Ill able to add it. Sorry about that and hopefully you are still interest in buying.

This set looks great. As someone with low vision, I really appreciate to high-contrast blues and yellow. Def in for base and spacebars, and maybe a desk mat.

I used to raise Macaws. Had mating pairs of Blue and Golds... and Green Wing macaws. Absolutely gorgeous birds with terrifying beaks, but my birds were gentle beauties. This drop looks amazing, but I would also like to see one inspired by the Green wing macaw as well, even if it has more than a handful of beautiful colors by comparison to the Blue and Gold macaw.

as much as I love macaws, this seems a bit similar to a couple other sets, no?
You will have to substantiate that claim. Could you say which couple of other sets, so buyers can decide?

I was thinking this is something relatively novel, as opposed to all the sets that are variations on Dolch or Honeywell, for example.

But maybe I am just not into all the sets that have run already, and I still have something to learn from you.

Then again, unless it’s a blatant shameless ripoff (and I’ll have to be the judge of that, after being shown the similar other sets) I’ll probably buy it even if it’s close to those other sets.

That’s because the GBs for those other sets have run already, so my only option to get the predecessors is to pay way above GB price on r/mm, for sets that are possibly already shiny from somebody else’s oily fingers.

I mean.... i is literally a taihao set more than anything kek

That Tai Hao set is a light shade of blue, and even the real GMK Nautalis set is close but different due to the legends. 
I love the shade of blue in this one and might consider since I want a good blue set other than the JTK Raindrop set I have on my son's Pro S.

Gonna buy the **** out of this for that beautiful 1.75u backspace in the base kit.

Also is the eñe in alt alphas R4 or R3 profile? I've never typed with an eñe before so I am pretty excited to try it out. It's been a long time complaint of mine that my enes lack flair, so hopefully this bad boy will spice things up a bit.
