Title: [IC] GMK Botanical | FINAL KITS/PROXIES/DATES ANNOUNCED!
Post by: Hazzy on Sat, 07 September 2019, 21:07:37

Hey Everyone!


I would like to present to you GMK Botanical, A set I have been working on for some time now.

"A Breath Of Freshness and Tranquility"

The inspiration for this set came from a sudden vision of being surrounded by plants whilst working. From Tropical Ivy to jungle plants, I found myself immersed in this natural, serene environment that fuels creativity while providing a timeless aesthetic that seamlessly integrates into any environment. Now back to reality, I present GMK Botanical.

Her'es the colour palette and a moodboard which was used for visual reference

Damn fine looking set.   I was messing around with some of these color schemes on an Oktoberfest themed set I’m trying to design.  I really want to design keycap sets but am having difficulty with where to begin.  Hopefully some day I’ll get to where you are.

Love the theme.

Careful with matching colored backgrounds though. It can be hard to distinguish the colors appropriately. Dixie ran into this with 8008 and had to correct the renders.

This kit colorway is quite beautiful. I am, however not a fan of the plant novelties. Maybe because I am reminded of a marijuana plant somehow.

I also think the font and katakana character spacing of the "ENTER" key is too large. Would you consider making them smaller and a little more condensed?

I think it's likely that unless you're careful with your colour samples, this will turn out gray. I agree with the above sentiment that rendering on a similar-coloured background is deceptive with the kits, as seen on the boards. That said, if you're aiming for the very subdued, green-only-if-you-tell-me-its-green kinda look, it's pretty spot on.

Also agree that the enter key novelty is off and would suggest some sort of leaf design instead of japanese legends please. Otherwise, looks pretty good!
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Botanical
Post by: Peiweisgreat on Sun, 08 September 2019, 01:36:56
Colors seem pretty muted, but I guess people like less loud green sets. I will say I'm a fan of the darker green though. Also gotta mention unless you plan on putting some bonsai themes into this set, Japanese enter novelty seems a little pointless. I know people are really into the weeb legends, but seems a tad bit much. Expecting good things from this set, def on my watchlist.

However, instead of the weeb Enter novelty I think an actual plant icon would suit this set much better.

enter keys should have "enteeeeeeeer" printed on them instead of "enter" so it can fill the whole length

My two cents is that if you wanted japanese legends, make a separate set of just japanese legends. Sub legends would kill the relaxing and spacious feeling that this shade of green brings

maybe a somewhat hot take: ditch the japanese

there doesn't seem to be any link between this set and anything japanese themed so that novelty looks quite forced (and that's leaving out the fact that the japanese is wrong altogether).

I also think that the japanese characters, while a pleasant aesthetic, do not fit into the plant theme in any way and would much rather prefer some more plants (row of succulents, a longer branch)

That being said thank you for finally making a pretty green set!! As a NON GMK lover, my interest is definitely piqued! I would also appreciate if you'd consider a dark green alphas kit because I think that would look dope and also would not have to do a matcha set because I still stand by the fact that white alphas are gross heh. Also I realize they're not exactly white which is why they're not as terrible, just wanted to clarify.

I’m in love with the colors. I’m not that much into green, but this definitely has my attention.

On a side note, as others have said already, I don’t think the Japanese keys fit the set really well. I would replace them with a more “botanical” key.

I'm with you -- kinda.

I like the aesthetic; it looks clean and interesting. I just don't think it really jives with the rest of the set. Feels a little out of place with the surrounding, cohesive theme.

Maybe if Op goes the route of having a sub-legend set, it would belong there? Hard to imagine that happening though with the response it got.

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Botanical | NOTES ADDED
Post by: depletedvespene on Mon, 09 September 2019, 08:56:45
First off, a strictly subjective opinion: looking at the renders, I can't shake the feeling that I'm looking at pictures "through a filter" and thus those "can't be the real colors". This is reinforced by the proposed deskmat, whose colors seem to be a bit more vibrant. It might be a good idea (or it might not) to add ONE render of the set, but with a side column of a few keycaps from other sets, with well known colors, so one can, so to speak, lock one's eyes to "actual colors" and avoid this "through the filter" illusion.
Never mind this paragraph. I wrote it this morning after watching the renders on my office computer, whose color reproduction capabilities turned out to be ****tier that I expected. I just looked at the renders again, in my home computer, and the difference is staggering.



The color codes are Pantone... but it's well known at this point that that GMK prefers RAL color codes instead. Given that precise coloring will be key to the success or failure of this set, you should seriously consider going RAL.

I agree that the Japanese legend on the Enter key feels gratuitous and something else would be better. A longer bamboo branch, perhaps? Also, the plant in a pot is slightly strange, given the rest of the imagery speaks of a relatively untamed jungle.


ISO support needs mentioning, too, but I'll do that in a separate post.

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Botanical | NOTES ADDED
Post by: depletedvespene on Mon, 09 September 2019, 10:19:20
And now, for the point I'm infamous for: ISO support.  ;D

There are two distinct layers to this:

1) Physical layout: this level requires the physical presence of four keys: a short left Shift (present), a vertical Enter (present, in both mod and accent color), one R3 alpha (present), and one R4 alpha (present); in this level, the alphas may have any legend, or even be blanks — all that's needed is that they ARE present. As can be seen, physical layout support for ISO is correct.

2) National layout: this is where the cat fight starts. :-D

The base kit is based on the US English national layout (as most sets do), and adds exactly TWO keys that are specific to the UK English national layout (R3 #~ and R4 \|), missing the rest of the UK English-specific alpha keys: R3 '@, R1 , R1 2" and R1 (this besides the three AltGr mod keys that would be required as well, in the sizes of 1.5U, 1.25U and 1U). With this, the UK English national layout isn't fully supported, giving rise to what's called "Atlantis ISO" (as in "it's on neither side of the pond but somewhere in the middle").

Options to fix this?

1) Do nothing. Some European users have come to accept this partial support, and prefer this course of action to avoid any problems that might make a designer drop ISO support, even at the physical layout level.

2) Support the US English national layout over ISO or ANSISO. This would require replacing the R3 #~ with an R3 \|; meanwhile, the R4 \| can remain as-is or can be replaced by an R4 <> key (both options are valid, and both have advantages and disadvantages). The total amount of keys does not change.

3) Complete the support for the UK English national layout over ISO, by adding the missing keys (R3 '@, R1 , R1 2" and R1 , plus the AltGr keys).

4) Complete the support for both the UK English national layout AND the US English national layout over ISO or ANSISO. If going with the first variant of the "US ISO" layout (a misnomer), this would mean adding the same keys as in point 3) plus exactly one more (R3 \|).



Obviously, everyone will have his or her own preferences on this (I know I have mine... :D ), and the decision will ultimately be Hazzy's to take.

So after eating my hat about the "filtered-through" colors, I took a new good look at the proposed kits. And I wondered... wouldn't this set benefit from more green? How about using both green tones for all the mods, and leave the white for the alphas only, like Carbon did?

I made a quick mock-up with KLE to show what I mean. This is what the kits are like now (with APPROXIMATE colors):

[attachimg=1]

And this is how it could look like if the currently-white F keys were turned to green, with a couple mods recolored as well:

[attachimg=2]


Thoughts?

maybe a somewhat hot take: ditch the japanese

there doesn't seem to be any link between this set and anything japanese themed so that novelty looks quite forced (and that's leaving out the fact that the japanese is wrong altogether).

I agree. IMHO far too many sets jump on the japanese bandwagon. Something more relevant to the plant theme would be great. I'm just spitballing but maybe a plain text enter key novelty would be fun? Something like "grow", "germinate", "bloom", etc. etc.

Hey I've just got into this hobby (still don't have my own keyboard) but I've been going over a lot of keycap sets and one problem I saw with one (I believe it was GMK Violet Tendencies?) was that they had grey on dark purple for the mod keys and while the render looked ok, in reality it was barely legible, do you think there is enough contrast in this case? Still, nice concept, I really liked it but I would also agree with everyone else who pointed out the japanese on the enter key.
Title: Re: [IC] GMK Botanical
Post by: Hazzy on Wed, 11 September 2019, 11:12:23
Love this. Don’t get the enter key novelty though?
some context for the novelty - Feng shui "Feng shui, also known as Chinese geomancy, is pseudoscience originating from ancient China, which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment" in the design world Feng Shui is always an important consideration when working on interior design. YES Feng Shui has Chinese origin but the japanese has more aesthetic to it :D Hope this clears up some confusion on the Enter novelty! although it seems everyone would much rather prefer something else so it will be revised.

If it's based on a Chinese concept wouldn't something in Chinese be better than Japanese katakana?

Didn't read all the comments yet but... Is this what Necro should've been? :D

I'll be honest, I bought into the Necro GB and still wish it had been what it was supposed to be. This is the first GMK IC that I've really been interested in....so yeah, probably. XD

Above.

And I’d like RAL colors and a render that reflects that. I’m “worried” the set will turn out too grey and not green enough.

I also think that the japanese characters, while a pleasant aesthetic, do not fit into the plant theme in any way and would much rather prefer some more plants (row of succulents, a longer branch)

That being said thank you for finally making a pretty green set!! As a NON GMK lover, my interest is definitely piqued! I would also appreciate if you'd consider a dark green alphas kit because I think that would look dope and also would not have to do a matcha set because I still stand by the fact that white alphas are gross heh. Also I realize they're not exactly white which is why they're not as terrible, just wanted to clarify.

Will look into it! Thank you for your feedback!

However, instead of the weeb Enter novelty I think an actual plant icon would suit this set much better.

I'm a fan of the Kata/hira. The general aesthetic is pleasing, although I agree that it doesn't seem, to have any direct connection to the general theme (apart from the translation). It gives a nice medium between clean lineart iconography and actual letters. While several express a disinterest in the current enter-key design, I'd just like to throw in my two cents, and say; you should still keep similar ideas in mind - if you ask me.

That having been said, I'm absolutely in love with the colorscheme and general theme of this set! I must have it! I'm also taking several plant morphology courses at university, and this would be sure to make any fellow student jealous ;)

I mean, 1) it's not a Pokemon themed set, so 2) there's no real good reason to add Japanese sublegends.

Bruh how dense... it doesn’t have to be a Pokémon themed set in order to have the right colors to be used in a Pokémon themed build  :thumb:

Bruh... It's not specifically a Pokémon-themed set, though. Just clarifying. Nothing wrong with using it in a Pokémon themed build; you do you. In fact, it probably would look awesome with a Pokémon-sticker-bombed case (just make sure to have Bulbasaur on there)! But really, I still don't think Japanese sublegends make sense, unless it actually was Pokémon themed. Much love for these subtle greens, and I think buying this will be a no-brainer!

If you're going to derive inspiration from Chinese feng-shui, then you should probably pay homage to it on the novelties kit by using
Chinese instead of Japanese, by saying something like 植物风水。And if you're going to stick with Japanese instead, I believe the katakana for plant is actually プラント (for plant; puranto.)

I like your new enter key since it fits the theme better. I'm curious though, what led to your decision to make the lines bolder for the enter key? And due to the linear top and curved bottom of the plant, it makes the image seem top center aligned. Is that intentional?

Thank you both for the comments. The reasoning for the thicker strokes on the enter key are due to the larger surface area, if the same stroke width used for the 1u novelties was used on the enter it would look like its just floating on the key although you both are right in saying it’s a little heavy compared to the others. When the novelties get sent to GMK I will adjust the thickness slightly so it balances out better! Hope this answers your concerns.

I like the new enter, but to me it would be better suited directing inward. Not only is it more aesthetic, but it also pays respect to the original enter's arrow direction, indeed resolving the dissonance caused by these being directionally opposed.

Use the 1u novelties as modifiers. There are enough novelties of different rows to make it work. The space bar kit has a 2u bar. The only problem is if you go full grid. There aren't any 1u convex keys.

This is the first IC I've followed since learning of GH... specifically bought a pc think6.5 because of how these renders look with this set. I will 100% be buying base kit and deskmat. GLWS, and cannot wait to have this gorgeous set ordered.

Until the 40’s community grows exponentially, this is the unfortunate result :(
Hope it’s not an issue in the near future! Thank you for commenting

Not sure if it's too late, but if it is.. For your next keyset, you could potentially consider incorporating a basic 40s kit into the base kit like how abec did for GMK Finer Things.

Kit is an instant buy to me if you can add a Hangul option! Specific take, I know, but that would be an instant purchase from me! :thumb:

I was a bit disappointed with 40s kit going too, can't it be added and if it doesn't make MOQ then it can be cut after GB? I liked the alice compat in the 40s kit too :(

I tried my best to try and keep the 40's in but sometimes sacrifices have to be made! I apologise and hopefully, the 40's community will keep growing and it should not be an issue in the near future!

Sometimes I wonder if my one vote would have changed things I don't think I was into 40% when I filled out the IC but I am now.

Seeing how well the 40's kit for MoDoL did on day one, I would be be surprised if the same 40's kit didn't do well for this set. But then again, I am biased and want to use Botanical on my boards :c. GMK Mizu also added a 40's kit during group buy that made MOQ. Not sure if vendors helped buy out to MOQ though.

Apologies if I'm beating a dead horse here. I just really enjoy this set.
