[IC] GMK Sunrise Mod Set - On Hold

[Steezus]

Working on other projects at the moment and judging by the amount of GMK interest checks I feel like it would be a good idea to put this set on hold. We eventually get renders and restart the thread.

This is an interest check for a little idea I had for a keyset that I would like. I'm posting this here to see how many people would actually be interested in something like this.

I designed this to match match with any beige set. This is a very shoddy render, I took the original from Billnye's Bluegaloo and then photoshopped the colors to give an idea of what I'm trying to have the set look like. As you can tell there is still a slight blue tint to the keys. The colors are not very accurate, but I did take the color samples from the GMK color chip image.

This is what it would look like with alphas that come with the beige sets. The yellow is brighter than what I'd imagine the GMK color would be, making the legends more visible. I imagine that the Cyrillic and Red Alert sets looks nice as well.

If there is enough interest then I will look into buying a render, any help would be nice in that regards.

Please keep in mind that this is in the Alpha stage, it is subject to several changes. I am curious as to what people think of this set and if they have any suggestions.

The modifiers colors are U9 while the yellow being N6, orange being V2, and the red being V1 color chips from GMK.

Nice one

Am certainly interested and would love to see some additional renders.

Thanks, I definitely need to hire thesiscamper for his services when I can get the money.

[ApocalypseMaow]

oh gawd... please... so much please

[Zapheo]

Def interested, Steez.

[Jokrik]

Oh yessssssss

[fublamchu]

Oooh, liking the colors,

[whmeltonjr]

I like the idea behind this. I would need to get something beige to go with it, but there are plenty of sets out there this would go with.

Thanks! The three main sets that come to mind that I think would work really well are Beige, Cyrillic, and Red Alert.

[romevi]

Nah.

[Steezus]

Nah.

Thank you for your input.

[radio_killah]

Too many interest checks/keysets right now. Also nah as well.

[exitfire401]

These are really cool. Would probably grab a set.

It's not like they're all going to be ran at once. Who cares as to whether there is 1000 interest checks or just 10, after all it is only to gather interest. I do not see the problem in creating another interest check.

I like the keys the uniqueness, I'd be in for a set.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

I'd be in for a full keyset, but not for just the mods. Why aren't gradient sets like this more popular?

[TalkingTree]

I like it. But I'd suggest a front printed 1.5u R2 backspace instead of Pipe-Backslash and side printed backspace.
Also, how about R5 bottom row?

Thanks for the feedback. There is still a good bit to change, I just copied the mods available in the bluegaloo set.

As for R5 bottom row, I personally do not like that. I believe that's what TA was and it didn't work well with other mod packs due to mixmatched profiles.

[LXXXIX]

Cool conept! Not my thing though. GL!

[xondat]

Sure. Would match my dream set nicely.

[JaccoW]

Potentially interested. But I would need to see how good the yellow works on that grey.
Would a darker grey/dark blue be an option?

A darker color could definitely be an option. I'll see about editing the color of the keys and try to make it accurate to GMK's colors. I personally think a proper render fron thesiscamper or somebody else would seal the deal. I just need to come up with the money for that.

[TalkingTree]

I was thinking. Maybe a reverse color scheme would look good. Colored keycaps, according to the proposed palette with black legends. Any chance for a render?

That could be another possibility as well, I just used photoshop and it took awhile to get those colors to be similar.

If any better has any experience with making renders I'd really appreciate the help!

[TalkingTree]

Another thing: would you consider a child buy for us humble ISO users with AltGr 1.5u and 1.25u keys?

Not interested in the colors of this one, but Altgr 1.5+1.25 should be in every mod pack imo

[renne]

Nice one.
In for sure.

[ideus]

In, but yellow on beige does not make much sense, if you want good contrast. Also, you may consider to have an Fn key with the same color legend of the shift keys for those that use the right shift splitted.

Sunrise + Yolch =

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I was going through as to what keys there actually should be, these are just the ones from bluegaloo mod pack. The colors aren't too accurate but I was hoping to use the darker yellow on the light beige. I'm trying to come up with renders for darker mods same legends and flip flopping the legend colors to the mods and using black legends instead.

[iamtootallforthis]

Wow that yellow on grey is really bright!

I wonder what it would look like IRL.

I'm trying to get the cash together to pay for a couple renders. Please keep in mind that the colors are not accurate at all.

Dang,  does GMK charge for renders?

I'm going to most going to try and put an order in for some renders. Here's a list of renders that I think people would like to see.

 - Same color scheme in OP but with better render.
 - Same legends but darker colored mods.
 - Reversed colors from legends to mods and make new legends black.

Is there anything else that people would be interested in seeing? Please keep in mind that renders cost money and this will be coming out of my pocket. I'm not too worried by the lack of interest at the moment since a true render should reel in more people.

How much does a render cost from GMK? Is it a fixed price?

Maybe the third? Reversed?

[swimmingbird]

Cool idea but would like to have a better idea of how yellow on beige looks

My guess is that it would be too faint

[Steezus]

For GMK it is free, I'm talking about getting some from thesiscamper. I'm trying to contact GMK to get some renders.

An esc key?

Yeah I'm still working out the keys that need to be put in. For now at least I think it may be best to start with thesiscamper's renders to help decide on what color scheme and then approach GMK with the final design. Although the GMK renders are nice they aren't as good in seeing how they look on a board.
