Thank you very much for looking!
How I developed this keycap set:
The original inspiration came from a pink himalayan truffle salt I used while I was cooking.
The idea evolved but the overall color scheme stuck with me, as well as the idea of using truffle as one of the main ideas.
Without boring you with details....
The final outcome was using "Trüffelschwein" as the main theme.
I also decided to go with the German name to pay homage to GMK.
Fun facts:
Trüffelschwein (Truffle Pig), are utilized in finding wild truffles. (In modern times, dogs are more commonly used)
Wild truffles are very hard to find, and very expensive, especially the winter white variety selling for up to $5000 per pound.
Truffles are found in roots of trees, and maintain a symbiotic relationship.
