could it be that im not part of that discord server or something since they are discord links?
Would love to see a render of this on a white keyboard

It could be that Discord is blocked on your network. I suggest trying on a different network.

Weird, pictures showing up broken for me too.
Doesn't Zambumon's set have a bit of green in it?

The images are currently hosted on Discord's CDN. They should probably be moved somewhere else.

First thing I thought when I saw the renders was how I’d break it up to pair with other sets. :)

Yep. This and minimal? Or nines. What were you thinking?

If the white alphas make it, I'll be replacing the alphas on my Honeywell.

They aren't white they are Pantone 428c, a ultra light grey.
So I settled for the original idea that was ashes from a volcano.
I think the name and fit with the colors is great. (Rama Volcano cap.)

Oh man the Rama artisan possibilities...They aren't white they are Pantone 428c, a ultra light grey.
Pantone 428C sounds like a great Cerakote idea. If only I knew a good cerakoting service for keyboards...
hmmmm, I can't think of any off the top of my head. :)) Be on the look out for more rounds of Ceraklack!
Great job on the IC presentation. Would love to pick up a base set!
hey I like this
I would be in on this one. I haven't even been registered a month and I have 3 sets I want to buy. I've got a bad feeling about this.
This is defo one of the nicer sets in the recent flood of GMKs. Would be in for this one.
Are you removing Numpad from base kit?
Your op says it would be included but your base render seems to be for 60s.

Couple quick comments:i personally use r1 end on 75 percents
1) It's well-known by now that GMK likes RAL color codes better than Pantone. Since precise coloring will be particularly important for this set, this is a factor to take into account.
2) In my inexpert opinion when it comes to colors... as the kits stand now, the jet-black accents (Esc and horizontal Enter) look a bit... too black. I feel they're out of place. Again, opinion.
3) Not counting ISO support and the numpad's presence or absence, the minimalistic set looks mostly fine, except for the absence of an R4 End key. That one DOES need to be added.
3') If you decide in the end to NOT add a numpad, perhaps the R1 End and PgDn keys (which are added for the benefit of 1800 and 1800-like layouts) should be on the choppin' block, so to speak.

ne renders of the set on a silver board avail?
All in. As a neutral-color stan, this is grayscale heaven. Great work!
Any plans for F1-4 and F9-12 in the ghost kit?
Hi!If you look in OP I believe they changed the color palette and the colors changed
Some of the renders are quite confusing. I'm not sure if it has been pointed out already, (in that case I'm sorry) but I thought it was worth mentioning.
These two look completely different. One has a yellow tone and the other has a blue tone. And you are going for greyscale right? So the are both wrong.
The light shouldn't have any color when you do kit renders if you want to avoid confusion.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/TeHcw9A.jpg)

Apologies! Currently the render artist had been making the renders on a blueish background causing that blue tone. That's not what I had in mind for the colors. We are working on getting new renders right now and will update them with the correct ones. Again, this is my first IC so I wasn't sure if different lighting would be good for renders. One of many mistakes I've made it seems. Thank you for pointing it out and we will be working on this.

All good! That's not really your fault since you didn't do these renders but maybe you are both new to to it. We all start somewhere. A quick fix would be to pull them in to PS and desaturate them until they somewhat match the hex values of the RALs. Then just switch them out when the new renders come. Good luck, I'll be getting this set down the line!
Not that I want to be that guy (ok, who are we kidding here?), but... the latest render is missing one keycap for full UK English over ISO support - R1 `¬ doesn't show up.
Also, I wonder if having horizontal (ANSI) Enter and numpad Enter in white-ish and black-ish, while the vertical (ISO) Enter is available in white-ish and dark gray is an intentional choice or an oversight.

Kits are still not finalized, plus that one posted is not the latest one, I only placed it on the IC as it has the correct colors in it this time. I went ahead and did add more iso support like you suggested last time. Thank you again for the feedback.
I love this. I'm definitely in for a set once GB starts.
Wow! I am so in on a base set and a deskmat if you end up making a international set to go with it! Great job so far, cant wait to see how this turns out!
This looks fantastic. 100% copping if there's a international kit aswell.
Hello Geekhack!
This is my first Interest Check for a keyset, GMK Ashes, A volcanic ash set with soft colors.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/DGnTa36.jpg)
Design & Inspiration
This idea originally began as a dark keyset, I was working with a lot of dark gray and red pantone colors, after rethinking what I was trying to achieve I decided to look at other keysets to get ideas, I decided to try to invert the colors similar to GMK Honeywell to test out that idea and really liked the look of it. I threw out the red because it just didn't fit in well with the set but kept the gray colors. Then I started messing with more with different shades of gray and came to love the final result of colors!
I present to you GMK Ashes:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/dByxnkp.png)OSA by BlindAssassin111
Kit Design
Base
This base kit is still changing everyday, I plan on having support for standard TKLs to 65%, WKL bottom rows, HHKB, a numpad and more! I am also working on getting some renders that will use Left Centered Legends for Mods! I really would love to give the legends a shot seeing as they are going to be on 9009 R3! I Originally had Pantones on the left that I was going to use to color match but ended up switching to RAL colors that were very similar to the Pantones.
BASE RAL COLORS:
Alpha Base Color: 260 40 05 - Swedish Blue
Mod Base Color : 250 85 05 - White Blue
Accent Base Color: 9011 (Classic 840) - Graphite BlackShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/2R0Iwlh.png)New RAL colors on the Left, Old Pantones on the RightShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/2gdzwse.png)GMK Ashes Concept Kits

I mentioned something similar earlier but got no response from OP. The ghost kit needs some work. In my opinion it needs the following...
- F1-4 and F9-12 (like you mentioned)
- both barred and scooped homing keys
- R4 1u |/ (for HHKB compat.)
- R4 1u ~’ (I know it’s in the base but it would be nice here too for mixing and matching sets)
Also, OP includes a second light grey B but not a second B in dark grey for Alice-like layouts.

Hey man! All feedback has been reviewed and is taken into consideration, currently at this time I am unsure if the Ghost Kit will hit MOQ, so it's still under consideration if we will run it. I am going to watch these other keysets that have alt alphas and depending on how well those alt alphas sell I might run it, if we run it I will definitely include the R4 1u |\ and ~` because I use a split bs setup so I'd definitely want those, a second B is also a possibility too, as for the F row and the barred and scooped that's something we will look into. I would also like to add an extra tab key in the kit too to allow for two builds. All of this depends on how the other sets do with their kits that are like this and how much it'll cost. I don't want this kit to run to high.

Figured I'd say a few things after noticing some issues.
- Your base kit has a single dark gray B however in the extra set of keys included with the base set you have an accented B rather than a matching base alpha. You might want to change that so you have 2 of the same colored B keys, considering the TGR Alice style board renders you use show two of the same colored alphas.
- The modifier color feels a bit light in terms of being gray. Normally ash in real life has a darker gray color to it if it's not from something like a Kingston charcoal briquet.
- Coloring in the renders seems to flip flop a bit. Some of the renders make the modifiers darker and some make them look rather white. Another thing is, is the viewing distance it could be a bit closer. Half of the renders look like I'm standing behind a rope link 10ft away trying to see what's behind the case.
- The Kepler render doesn't really do much with the weird rain-snow effect going on.
Loving the set. What are your thoughts on a alpha set in cool grey pantone? Also, are you considering a international kit?

If you are going to to give two alphas options can you pretty please have the gb sell 1.) mods (as base) 2.) alpha option 1 3.) alpha option 2. That would be really appreciated if you are certain to meet minimum order requirements.
Other than that a very lovely gray set. Very nice!

Novelties revealed when? I'm dying to see them
Before you finalize the kits, don't forget to...
- Highly consider adding the missing R3 \| key to complete English (USA) over ISO and ANSISO support.
Just checking -- are those 1.75 and 1.25 spacebars convex!? I'm excited to see those starting to appear in sets. For the 40s kit, may I suggest including at least one 1.25 R3 enter key? It's useful for layouts that are overall 12.5u wide, e.g. the UT47. Also, two convex 2.25u spacebars in the 40s kit would be a great addition.
Nice job on the set overall. Between this and Apollo, it may be a tough choice, but the num pad in the base kit is a plus for me.
Any chance to get a colevrak kit?
I'd be interested in a Norde Kit.This x 100

GMK Reverse Ash? 🤔
Please consider adding 1.75 enter key to the 40s kit. I know that the "control" can be used but 1.75 is THE most often demanded enter key for 40s boards.

I believe those keys are in the Extension kit, I'll be posting individual renders of the kits soon, working on those right now.
Would there be a possibility of having a canadian vendor?
Made an account just to say I will be waiting with bated breath for that gorgeous desk mat.
i need this in my life. this is last puzzle piece to perfect my life
want an individual novelty kit.
wow...rendering img impresive...
like the idea put novelties in extention
plz add 3u spacebar in somewhere

You can if you want, but as of right now the All the kit renders are out of date. I am working on posting new updated kit renders. Small leek: The set has grown from 3 kits to 5 kits. ;) I'll post more info once I get the renders. Thank you for the continuous feedback, I really do like it, I take most of it into account :)
I really like the Ghost kit and the idea of an reverse Ash that has already been mentioned.
At least an R4 1.5u Function key and if possible paired with an R4 1.5u Code key would be nice to have in the base kit.
Colevrak kit would have been nice too but I don't see it happening either, sadly.
Either way I'm excited for this set and I'm definitely in for at least one.
Thanks man! As for the 1.5u fn key not too sure about that one, I am making sure that two 1.5u code keys make it into the extension kit as I do like using code for both an FN key and a win key on a WKL board. I always make my right alt key my windows key lol.
Just wanted to give a small update this morning :)
+ Working on a Alternative Minimal Style Deskmat
+ Working on getting renders for the new kit layouts

-Ghost Kit
-40s+Ortho+ISO Kit (Extension Kit)
-Spacebar Kit
-Accent+Novelties Kit
+ In talks with cable maker to have cables made for the set
+ In talks with artisan designers to have artisans made for the set
+ In talks with Rama to potentially have metal caps made for the set
Thank you everyone for the love and support, along with the feedback for the set. :)

Hey, if Hiki_draws was up for it would you maybe collab and make the fan art into posters? think that might be cool. :)
I also just wanted to reconfirm that the black accent Enter and Esc will be back in base kit!
Would you consider adding two 1.5u Code and two 1u Alt keys to the base for tsangan compat for mac users. similar to that of GMK minimal?

;) It's already added, just not on the current renders, the final renders have a few additional changes, but I wanted to make sure this one was in the base kit, I personally use code as a win key, and like using right alt as a win key on my WKL boards, so I felt like this was a no brainer idea! :)

What else is added but not yet on the renders? I mean, I don't want to pest you if there's no need for it. :thumb:
finally some updates! thanks for that :)
i'm okay with waiting for changes though I'm most curious with the alternative deskmat design and the pricing.
any possibility of getting either soon?
Pricing can't be decided until we have final renders that way GMK can know what's going in each kit. As for the second design. I'll be making an update on thatyay, awesome! the second design is totally perfect for me.very soonRIGHT NOW ;)
What will the measurements of the desk pads be?
Will the custom cable be a separate GB? Any previews?
Can't wait for this set. It will look great on my m65-b kuro.
Hey if kits are still up for adjustment, I'd love to have Ghost numpad support. Otherwise perhaps we could split numpad off from base?
Really liking the simplicity of that new deskmat design! Good luck with the GB :)
do you have an estimated price for the base kit?

The deskpads will be standard size as the ones that Novelkeys sells on his site, as for the cables, all will be announced when the time comes. ;)

Even though I did say it's "perfect" and really loving it, I do have some ideas. Is it still open for feedback? Or is it finalized?
Don't mind either way though!

I'd wanted ghost numpad alphas too. The issue that i think will arise with this kit is the inclusion of what's usually a spacebar kit in there too. I love my split space keys and would have bought the theoretical spacebar kit anyways, but many wouldn't. For price comparison, the best priced alt alphas kit in my mind is GMK violet on cream (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101820.0) where the F keys and numpad were in there and it was 70$ (thanks hineybush/novelkeys!). If the current Ghost alphas kit is only 85$ i think it'll be an excellent value, but I think it may be a bit more than that already. With ghost numpad, I think you've basically guaranteed it's about the price of GMK Olivia R2 thanks to 100MOQ for an alt alphas set and 1000MOQ for Olivia.
There's no right answer to alt alpha kit design unless you know you have a monster set (at which point you should sell the inverted mod/alpha colorway as a different base set). As it stands, I think we may need to have a few alt alpha only and spacebar only people agreeing to split up kits to get MOQ, and i'd rather have it made than ask for one with numpad alphas, have it have high price, and not get it to MOQ.
It's not fully finalized just yet, what idea did you have in mind? :)
Hi! Love the theme and everything. I was just wondering if there is any chance that the space bar kit will have a separate kit of its own?
i didn't see an ortho or an ergo kit
sorry if I missed something but I would really like to use some ashes ortho (or ergo)

The Extension Kit will have Ortho Coverage :) No plans on any Ergo coverage. Sorry
Looks awesome! FYI, the "fn" key for row 4 is in the kit twice. Not sure if that is intentional.
Good kit names.
Hey Tyson, wondering if Caldera kit should have a numpad accent enter? Looks good otherwise!
Can't I add 1.75 enter keys to the 40s kit for the final render kit? that is the most often demanded enter key for 40s boards...
Isn't the enter in the 40s kit only 1.5u? Looks like that to me.
Beautiful definitely going to pick this up. I'm a sucker for greys.
Sad the UK ISO keys got moved to the 40's kit

As two kits, both struggle to meet MOQ. Combining them to make one kit should reduce the odds of all these keycaps being canceled.

The UK ISO was originally in the base kit, which would have been handy
ngl this looks pretty nice
Any updates for the pricing?

I really hope bonfire makes it: its basically the main reason for me to buy it.
Any update regarding prices for this one?

It's staying on the deskmat and the bandoleer for sure! After looking at some other GMK novelty kits it looks like it might be fine, just want to double check for sure.I meant novelties kit, haha. After reading my post again, I understand it can be misinterpreted, oops! In for the Ashes/Adventure regardless!
I am sorry if I am just missing it, but is there any word on pricing for the kits yet?
I know UK ISO was previously pushed to the 40's kit, but now essentially all the keys are in the base minus 2 which are in the 40's. Meaning you have to buy that kit for 2 keys which is a pain
GB date has been pushed back to March 2nd, I apologize for this inconvenience and understand if you are upset with this decision. Some things need to be flushed out before the GB begins. I have failed to hit my intended GB date, I am sorry.
Any chance that Ghost kit gets numpad support :D
what's the estimated shipping date?
(hypothetically speaking because idk if the set will hit MOQ)
what's the estimated shipping date?
I wouldn't know, we aren't even in GB yet, usually we can find out when we submit the order to GMK. It also all depends on when GMK gets their 4th machine up and running, if it's before Ashes hits production (hypothetically speaking because idk if the set will hit MOQ) then the queue time will be faster than what it is right now, I think there was an update on GMK Night Runner saying that it got delayed to July Shipping, the set was supposed to ship this month but GMK is so backed up right now that they pushed it back 5 months. If the new machine isn't up and running by the time Ashes start we might be looking at a Q1 2021 release date, or a Dec 2020 release date. I really hope not but who knows.
Is it too late to ask for 1.25 blank in space bars?
Good Afternoon everyone,
I just wanted to update the IC to announce that I will be removing the 40s kit from the set. After working on pricing it was discovered that the initial cost for the set to work on a 40s board was going to be over $200. With that being said there would have been a very slim chance of the kit hitting MOQ. Pricing along with giveaways will be announced soon.
Thank you for the continued support,
Tyson
damn, been off this site for ages with only this kit being of interest since like November or something.. but just seen now that at some point the UK keys have been removed! I guess that's how things go, more American sets for American keeb enthusiasts, dammit! Good luck with it nevertheless, it's a real beaut! My wallet is relieved at least lol
A bit disappointing - but guess there's no reason for me to get the ghost/spacebars kits now. Was hoping to get enough switches to fit any two of my boards (especially since ghost + 40s covered most of a 40%. TBH if there wasn't the slight dark souls theme I would've passed on the entire set for dropping 40s.
The only kit that included 1U Ctrl and Alt keys for the bottom row was the 40s kit, which is gone now. It doesn't look like there's any kit that includes support for the bottom row on layouts that use 1U Alt, Fn, Ctrl to the right of the spacebar (Vortex Race 3 75%, Tada68 65%, etc.). It looks like you dropped support for more than just 40% keyboards.
