[IC] GMK Magical Girl
« on: Mon, 24 September 2018, 00:44:56 »
Hello all,

I feel that there are not a lot of GMK pink sets aside of KA2017 and Devotion (or at least those are the sets I can think off top of my head) so I've been working on this for the past month. Introducing GMK Magical Girl, inspired by the “magical girl” genre in Japanese anime culture.

More

204261-0

Using Pantone 1767C for the modifiers, WS1 for the alphas and Pantone 190C for the accents.



Nothing is is really set in stone as of now besides the colours so it would be great if anyone that is interested can fill the IC form and add some feedback. This allows me to gauge on the interest so I can see if it will happen or not. Depending on the interest, I can move on to proper renders, finding vendors, quotes, timelines and etc.

https://goo.gl/forms/YbNXfilySYfh14ot1

I believe I have everything down, do let me know if I am missing anything on this IC. I can be contacted on discord (lunr#0463) or pm me if you wish to help which is appericated a lot.

Such a sucker for pink, so maybe in

edit: after staring at the ePBT Valentine on my work board for ages I'm actually definitely in - this pink is sooo much nicer

I fear that the legends may not have enough contrast. That said I love the idea, and would probably be in for a set to give to my wife.

Glad to see there's interest in this set! I'm also considering JTK or ePBT.

I fear that the legends may not have enough contrast. That said I love the idea, and would probably be in for a set to give to my wife.

My first colour picks was way way lighter. I might switch the alpha to the modifier colours and vice versa and see how it looks.

NE ISO avail?

If there is enough interest, I will put it in :)

I like ePBT more and it's usually cheaper, so I'd put my vote in for that ;)

Also +1 on fun novelties, and I really like low contrast on the alphas tbh

No epbt/jtk please. This is a beautiful set that deserves GMK. When KA17/18 was like $300 from china.

 There is also a epbt set in simular colors from epbt in stock from geekkeys.

Yes, yes and yes!
Sign me up for a few + one for my gf <3

The only thing that could make this even better would be Kanji alphas or Kanji sublegends plus star and heart novelty’s for full magical girl steez.

Otherwise don’t listen to the usual alpha colored F row crowd and please keep the name =)

I only been reading the feedback from reddit/keebtalk/gh (Giving the form another day before I check) and seems like the consensus is that:

1. It doesn't look "magical girl" enough and more of a copy of existing sets (which I somewhat I agree but people are saying it's GMK Valentine which I disagree).
2. Naming could be better

So I'll be re-working the colours a bit in the incoming weeks so it can reflect the magical girl theme.

Appericate the feedback guys!

Naming could not be better honestly.
On gmk weeb retro people also pushed for changing the name, which made the set loose a lot of its unique charm imo.

I really love the set, and while I definitely support changes, I’m scared conflicting opinions will force this to become generic.

I love the alphas!! If anything could change then maybe test out some different icon/text colours on the mods and some fun novelties? But I think the set is really nice as is

Tbh I think the name is great, and if you're gonna make any changes it should be toward making it fit that more

That is pretty much the plan.

2. Naming could be better

GMK Mahou Shoujo? Or are you wanting to go the opposite direction?

Someone suggested that but tbh, I actually prefer that over "Magical Girl". I used "Magical Girl" because it's more easier to understand without going into the whole mahou shoujo culture stuff.

IT's so cute! I'd already throw my wallet at this but if there were added card captor sakura esque novelties I'd throw my wallet at it even more!  :-*



Also, it'd be awesome if there was hiragana options for the alphas as well!

*needs yellows. Remember those bright yellow stars typical of magical girls?
*needs other basic colours such as blue, green and yellow (eg, Madoka Magica characters, Sailor Moon characters, Cardcaptor Sakura styles)

Some suggestions since this idea is very interesting!

I personally need a 6u centered space. (Don't need a 6u off-centered or a 7u, though I realize those are more popular)

But I also don't mind having to pay for a separate spacebar kit to get it.
