[IC] Sad Boy Deskmats!
« on: Sun, 25 October 2020, 09:35:44 »
Hi,

I'm quite new to this space, and this is my first IC, but I made two variants of this desk mat design, let me know what you all think here! Thanks ^-^

Link to renders: https://imgur.com/a/famD5cF


Link to IC form: https://forms.gle/CAjY7jt6DButGDpa8

-----

EDIT: I have since fixed the "Can't" for those of you who like ur edgy mats proper - I have also created a few more colourways aside from just monochrome.
EDIT 2: The above have been added to the post, the imgur and the form have both been updated.

EDIT 3: Quick question, so I know a lot of people think this is cringe and edgy etc etc, it is *kinda* a joke - but I actually kinda like the design a bit idk, for those of you that care, how would you feel if I removed the text?

-----

FAQ?

1. - ? No.

2. No.

3. Why red? No.

4. Yes? No.

5. Cringe? Nice opinion. https://imgur.com/a/5ooO4OI

6. Is this serious? yes.

"If you're automatically sure that you know what reality is and who and what is really important, if you want to operate on your default setting, then you, like me, probably won't consider possibilities that aren't annoying and miserable. But if you've really learned how to think, how to pay attention, then you'll know you have other options. It will actually be within your power to experience a crowded, hot, slow, consumer hell-type situation as not only meaningful, but sacred -- on fire with the same force that lit the stars: love, fellowship, the mystical oneness of all things deep down."

"I think that allowing somebody, one mere person to believe that he or she is like, the vessel, you know, like the font and the essence and the source of all divine, creative, unknowable, eternal mystery is just a smidge too much responsibility to put on one fragile, human psyche. It's like asking somebody to swallow the sun. It just completely warps and distorts egos, and it creates all these unmanageable expectations about performance. And I think the pressure of that has been killing off our artists for the last 500 years."


“I just got one last thing; I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get your emotions going. To be enthusiastic every day, and Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Nothing great could be accomplished without enthusiasm,” to keep your dreams alive in spite of problems whatever you have. The ability to be able to work hard for your dreams to come true, to become a reality.”

I reached out to the guys in the Japanese English language exchange on discord to check if it retained the meaning - still not 100% sure though.

I mean, this is an IC but its also a valuable way to get feedback - personally, I wasn't bothered by the "Can'  t", but now I know some people are ^-^

Yeah there's really no reason to go mono space here and what is going on with the line height? I would also advise against having everything in the center since that's where your keyboard is.

Yeah I have since fixed the monospacing there - and actually, that was the point kinda, the text is there and you know its there - but all you will really see is the sad boy (hence not BTS FTW desk mats ;))

I'd be quite concerned about getting a cut from this deskmat. Would it be possible to remove some edge from it?

Cringe/edgy or not you're allowed to put out an IC on what you want to run and people are allowed to buy it. However I'm not a fan of how most of this mat is more or less just a variation on the color placement. Color variation mats are usually reserved for geometric-style mats like Zambumon's wave mat or Biip's Bento mat. I would consider picking one or two color variations and sticking with that. No need to have people pick what they like. It's your mat and I feel you should choose the two styles with something like this.

Okay, honest suggestion:

What if we have more cringe/sad/2meirlf4meirl kind of quotes and vote on them? I'd love to see the dual-translated. Off the top of my head, I'd love to see:

  • I've realized || it is in  my best financial interest || to die
  • You clean your room so well, || the only trash left is you
  • Life is beautiful || and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself
  • I can't drown my demons || they know how to swim (possible copyright)
  • Am I truly living || or do I obsess over one keyboard || before jumping to the next

Thanks for your feedback, realistically this was meant to be a mono tone design - I genuinelly wanna run the BTS FTW mat i think its kinda funny - but yeah, im just asking if ppl want colour variations it because if I wanna run this imma need some kind of miracle lol
