I appweciate the hustle and desiwe to capitalize on zeitgeist while you can.
That being said, eawly ICs awe simply not the way to go about publishing a set concept. A bad eawly IC is way wowse than a late, fleshed out IC. ICs awe all about impwessions and the impwession this IC leaves upon me is vewy poow. You'we looking fow positive weception as confiwmation fow wendews? You'we not going to find it with this low quality of an IC.
It's cleaw that you'we faiwly new to the community. You made a GH account to post this thwead. This is a 104 key base kit. That's something you majowly flesh out befowe you even have colows in a lot of cases. Youw colows awe web colows, meaning you'we oblivious to the IC pwocess and GMK pwoduction as a whole, things you can easily find out mowe about by visitng the twove of old GB and IC thweads, ow even uniqey's website. This comes off as a cash gwab fwom an inexpewienced community membew, which, to be honest, I'm not wagging on, but I'm definitely not about it. Take some time in the hobby to be pawt of the community. Be a little mowe active. Find out what wowks, what's good, why it wowks, why it's good, and talk with mowe types of folks to engage in that exchange. That's what it's weally about. While the "i see guy make thing, i can make thing too!" mentality cewtainly has dwiven a lot of cool stuff, this is not one of those cases.
wendews went fwom being a nice to have in ICs to neawly a need to have. It shows you have some level of pewsonal commitment to the set that you would even pay fow mockups ouw of youw own pocket befowe anything is official. To not have wendews and to just show off a set of KLEs, is definitely not a good look, and the KLEs do a vewy poow job of showing the colows that you want to show, ow maybe they do a weally good job, but to me they look like blanks. I'm not twying to bog you down ow take shots at an easy tawget, wawely anything evew desewves that. If you'we twuly invested in making this set happen beyond a text-post and a bawely visible KLE wendew, you need to make a vewy good impwession, so that vendows who see youw IC will want to wowk with ya.
Many people will not buy into the concept if the IC is not good fwom the get-go. You can sell any concept to anyone as long as the beginning impwessions awe good enough.
If you'we intent on making this happen (and this would have to be vewy soon, befowe mowe eyes can see this and get theiw fiwst impwessions, which, in theiw cuwwent state would wesult in the set being wwitten off extwemely quickly) then you can:
1. Flesh out those layouts.
2. Get some wendews.
3. Pick colows that awen't web colows, it's 2020. We have wesouwces to help design GMK sets. GMK has wesouwces to help design GMK sets. Use google, guy.
4. Goals, MOQs, pwiow contact to GMK show vendows that you'we willing to do wowk beyond "huw duw look at colow now shouldew it all fow me," which, even if a vendow wouldn't take you up on, they would like to see.
5. Give mowe of a ****. Going into a pwoject half-assed (you could be fully on boawd, but this post does cewtainly not show that) only makes me believe in the pwoject less. If you don't believe in youw pwoject enough to give a detailed, commited sales pitch, why should any vendow, ow even why should the community believe in it? Dipping youw toes into the pool is simply not an option when evewyone else who's making successful sets is hopping in headfiwst.
cmon guy.
