15 Sep 18, update here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=96175.msg2659467#msg2659467
Interest check poll here!: https://goo.gl/forms/QGufZ5Z5MK2plMYq1
Bad render:[attachimg=6 align=center]
This is an early interest check on GMK Calypso, a blue/teal set inspired by the likes of SA Calm Depths and SA Abyss. I've always thought that GMK would look good in navy and here's a preliminary colorway to showcase that. Since the colours are custom, MOQ will be 250 so all and any feedback would be fantastic. If the colours are deemed too similar to other sets, I will rework them until satisfactory.
Calypso is taken from Greek Mythology; she was a daughter of the Titans who was banished to live upon an island alone, until a lost hero washed up onto the shores. She was tragically destined to fall in love with everyone that came, knowing that eventually they would have to leave.
I will have exams until next Tuesday, so if this gets attention I will work on getting more renders and novelty designs in.

Changed mod text to be lighter.
1. Lighter mod text (I am leaning towards making this the base colourway)

2. Mono navy colourway

3. No teal - Muted blue
[attachimg=4 align=center]
4. No teal - Muted blue, mono navy

It‘s basically SA Abyss with modifier/alpha colors swapped.

Technically, it would be a twist on Reverse skeletor. I would be.

Updated post with four new renders - mainly focused changing mod text color.
I love the last one!
Making the alphas and mods same color is a good move since making them different but so similar in tone is gonna be hard to produce and make sure it turns out perfectly like the renders. Also digging the lighter accent color. Both of the changes differentiate itself from calm depths and abyss and that’s great imo

Would be great if the mononavy have green words on the mods tooThat's what I like about the first "GMK calypso.png" render. Also the Enter is nice; Enter mod text on some other renders stands out a little too much...

Oh wow, the mono navy with muted blue looks incredible. Any chance of icon mods?
Yep, will be rendering icon mods and will do a poll to gauge interest.
I wish the alphas + mods +space bar are the same exact colors

Since the mono renders seem to be more popular, they will all be the same colour. The spacebar being a different shade is not intentional and appears to be a side-effect of kle-render, this will be fixed next week when I do more proper renders.

Also, obligatory request for Plank compatibility in the base kit. A separated 40% compatibility kit is doomed to the fail the MOQ.

BUT the spacebar really should be alpha.
Post by: Raqem on Tue, 19 June 2018, 21:56:05
While I acknowledge that the colors are in the same class as Calm Depths and Abyss, I have zero interest in those keysets and a take_my_money.jpg reaction to this set.
I'd be down for any of the options, but #2 (mono navy) is my favorite followed by #4 (muted blue, mono navy). On top of the colors looking fantastic, I really like the idea of this being a GMK set. Good luck!

Ya but calm depths is SA so that doesn't really matter cause SA is one of the worst things the planet has to offer

Post by: indiceiris on Fri, 13 July 2018, 11:14:30
been on holiday for the last 2 weeks so haven't had a chance to work on this too much. I'm considering running this through MD/somewhere else that supports a larger amount of kits rather than just base set + extras, because that will allow people to choose between teal/blue alphas legends, and icon/text mods. Also looking to include an "accent rgb kit" with teal, muted blue (seen above) and also potentially red highlights. thanks for all the great feedback everyone! :)

In terms of colorway, mono navy was by the most popular choice, with people split between teal green and muted blue alphas. Here's a below-average render I did awhile ago, lots of imperfections but it should give you a general idea of how it will look on a board :)
(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/209200537172836354/461113719062003713/unknown.png)
Finally, a poll if you're interested in updates and also to vote for teal green or muted blue alphas :) Don't worry about accent colors, I am likely going to do include both teal green AND muted blue accents :)

Calm Depths is way overrated. The gray mods are terrible. This set, however, looks great.
Post by: breckstar on Wed, 13 February 2019, 08:34:27
Paused at the moment due to similar sets (Metropolis, Wavez, there's a couple others) that have a similar concept / colorway and are more fleshed out. Project is not dead though, I'd still like to go through with this eventually but the saturation of GMK ICs is insane and we don't help each other if all the sets are run at the same time - especially with the custom colour MOQ.Saturated GMK, go to SA!

This way, other designers can work around your schedule.
I'm glad this set doesn't clutter up the alphas with secondary legends. This set is more appealing to me than calm depths or striker, and I will join GB when it launches.

Agreed on the grey mods of Calm Depths, 100%.
fr- CD alphas + abyss mods/accents is where its at.
