[IC] GMK Sen
« on: Tue, 12 September 2017, 22:18:12 »
Hello Guys,

Designed in collaboration with none other than thesiscamper himself, we would like to introduce a new Keyset for the community called GMK Sen

Option 1 This is what we will be moving forward with ;)




Option 2




We wanted to loosely base it off the ff color palette from Spirited Away.



By the way, Chihiro Ogino (Sen) is the main protagonist in the Studio Ghibli Film 'Spirited Away'



It was initially named GMK Flux (which was introduced 4months ago) but, we wanted it to have a bit more backstory and some cool possible Novelties ;)

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/66i1wg/ive_been_playing_with_this_colorway_for_a_couple/?ref=share&ref_source=link

Some early KLE renders





Hope you guys like it!


What do you think about this set? We'd also like to hear your thoughts!

The above color scheme is missing essential elements. Apricot color is essential. In addition to Sen's pants color, there is always an apricot color throughout the movie. And the director intentionally rendered the tone of the screen reddish.

I feel the need for your colors as well but I do feel like 5 colors may get pricey

Thank you for your input. it its very similar to your KLE Render. I really wanted to have some cyan/teal with yellow text since, it provides much contrast but, I was really hesitant to pursue the idea since, it would overpower the whole set since, yellow is very bright. Nautilus did it well. and that Cyan and cream set! didn't even know this existed! would have loved to see some accents on that set.

Option 2 for sure and maybe make the mods Green instead of teal and make the enter pink like the shorts? Regardless I really like the look of this keyset so far.

I know. I already voted. However, the first layout does not contain red, so it can not be called Sen. It's just a partial backdrop of movie.

The three-stage gradation in the Enter key section is very harmonious. Assigning black to the Enter key color will harm the harmony. And black is not suitable for all accent key colors. I think black is enough for novelty legend color.
Such as dust balls, the little bird, and Kaonashi.

sorry there has been no updates for this set lately. I am currently on leave due to a family emergency, but, I have been working on some novelties. if you have any good ideas for novelties don't hesitate to send them my way. another thing I wanted to add is if we were to use a no face novelty, it would be a silhouette on a colored background. not sure how well that will look like.

Totally love the blue, green, yellow accents. The colors complements each other and is fun to look at while being not obnoxious.
I think the set would be more expensive given so many different colors, but I’m ready to accept the higher price point as long as the product is good.

prefer to option 2.
 In my opinion, the color-way of option 2 is approaching to perfection in color. The first one need more changes in color-way. Of course I respect your and others choice.
If option 2, I will buy one or two depending on my financial statement. If option 1, congratulations as well ,but not my tea.

I appreciate the interest still for this set. again I apologize for not working on anything regarding this. but, I will dedicate some time to give you guys some updates.

Basically, I need help creating novelties. I know there are so many possible novelties from the franchise but, I want to also have a theme to it.

maybe something like a silhouette of sen with blushes on her cheek?

dragon on the enter key? those little dust monsters are great novelties. and of course no face. there's no way to make a no face novelty that isn't black and white though. so maybe a dark color accent key for this novelty perhaps.

again I apologize for my absence as I started school again. but, since I have been spending more time talking to people in the community it is perhaps the best time to work on this set.

Do we have an estimated timeframe for the GB? And have you taken any avenues on where this will be posted? I know its hard to do but if you can get this on massdrop keysets are almost a guarantee on there anymore.
