[IC] GMK La Dolce Vita - *New renders and kits* Classic Italian Lux

[Nylam]

Introducing GMK La Dolce Vita

A set designed to evoke passion of Italian fashion

Inspiration

Hi GeekHack! This is my first set as I am new to keebs. As a fashion lover, I really like Italian fashion, I remember my first branded handbag given by my sister as Christmas gift was from one of the most influential Italian fashion house, so I wanna pay tribute to that Italian fashion design by creating this keycaps ‘La Dolce Vita’, hope you all like it.

The Colors

Echo the national colors of Italy, green for freedom and red for love, with a leather inspired color oyster white and pearl gold which create a classic feel to the set, this set can create the combination of luxury, chic and stylish with different board colors and designs.

I'm not sure anyone asked for this.

Is it too hard to leave the left mods accents in the accent kit

[Cylent]

The concept is ok but why are half the accents in the base kit and the other half in a child kit? The placement of the accents also doesn't make much sense to me, I think this IC should go back into the oven and continue baking, it's a bit too raw for me.

tough crowd so far! some feedback, your basekit photo appears to have lost resolution and is fuzzy for me. also having all the board renders at a 30 degree angle makes me have to keep tilting my head. the one angle stylized one in a see of normal orientated renders is fine but not every single one.

colors wise/thematically, ill be honest its not my cup of tea. The color accents are a bit harsh/jarring and feel isolated in their clusters not having a connection with the rest of the set. Also the case color choices IMO don't resonate with the keycap colors. glwic!

Fixed.  Sorry new at this keyboard rendering thing

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll work on it more.  My reasoning was that the base should be able to stand on its own with the theme of the set. The accent kit was to give people options if they wanted the theme to be on the right side instead of left

Maybe my idea didn't connect. I wanted the base to be able to stand on its own with the theme of the set. The accent kit was to give people options if they wanted the theme to be on the right side instead of left

Thanks for being kind to a newbie!   I'll work on my renders!

Not big on the asymmetry in this one. You could theoretically just do a kit of JUST the Gucci stripe, and ignore a base kit. That might be more appealing to people, since then they would be able to use it with any set they wanted, and it's cheaper.

I also like to evoke passion of Italian fashion through the worst bootleg manufactor in China

[Walkis]

I really like the color choices and the theme, but I also agree with previous comments suggesting putting all of the accents in the accent kit.

[doggo1dance]

I'm not sure anyone asked for this.

if you are not interested nor going to contribute anything, i suggest refraining from commenting.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have made all accents into a separate kit

Appreciate it!

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have made all accents into a separate kit and if that's what people want instead of the base kit I can just offer that.

Thanks for the suggestions. Redid renders without the tilt and separated out the accents into a different kit

I really like the color choices and the theme, but I also agree with previous comments suggesting putting all of the accents in the accent kit.

Thanks for the support. accents are in different kit

My intention was that accents on one side was enough.  The accent kit was for people who wanted the accent to be on the right side instead. But I hear everyone's feedback and have made them all into one kit instead.  Thanks for the comments!
