Introduction:

Hello everyone! This is my very first keycap set design inspired by Kairi from Kingdom Hearts! With the beautifully composed music and the character developments of each of the lights, I gotta say I am soo glad I played through most of the games! Except the mobile and web one.... (//▽//)

The novelties are supposed to highlight some of the special features you can find in Kairi, like the star fruit and the blade! (´• ω •`) ♡

As soon as I saw the IC title my first thought was "I wonder what shades of pink, purple and/or pale blue it uses?". I was not disappointed

I highly recommend getting your renders professionally done - many community members provide rendering services. It's very hard for me to visualize how this set would turn out with the current renders. Your buyers will likely not have a Pantone book on hand to reference the colors directly.

Would also like to know what manufacturer/manufacturing process you envision for this set. I assume PBT since all colors are uncoated... that's a lot of reverse dyesub though.

please get better renders
information is very lackluster (make it obvious to the readers too)
you don't even have the keycap material listed
props for listing color codes tho

Echoing what others have said about the renders really needing work. Kitting will vary by manu so you need to work that out as well. Seems a little premature.

Thank you for the rendering advises! I will definitely reach out to some members for better renders to show everyone! :)

Please include a manu, a keycap profile, whether it is doubleshot or dyesub, and the nov keycap sizes. Also you novs might not be achievable depending on manu. Kitting might also not cover many boards.

I'd recommend choosing a manufacturer so you'll know how to properly work with your novelties.

echoing previous comments. Additionally, I don't know if forcing accent spacebars in base is the play. Comes more into question when a manufacturer and subsequently pricing is disclosed.

I'm quite conflicted on the Novelties...

Have you checked that the manufacturers you're looking into (I'm assuming you're going for a manufacturer that does PBT) can actually do novelties that require front top and back prints to be aligned without too much issue?

Apart from that like multiple people pointed out earlier, you should look into choosing a manufacturer and getting some proper renders done before continuing so that you can show a proper visualization of how it will turn out if it's produced.

IC will be on hold for now as I am currently reaching out to multiple renderers and might need more time to rework on the novelties, as well as the colour of the legends! I really appreciate everyone’s comments and the effort on telling me how to showcase this keycap set better! Filling in the IC form is still greatly appreciated! Hopefully I can update this post a.s.a.p., and bring better graphics to everyone! (*≧∀≦*)

While I've been meaning to see a KH inspired keyset sometime, I did not imagine it would look this bland..

Second B can might as well go into spacebars kit instead of base
