Original APRIL 1st post
The Alert color way is so popular lately I feel dumb if I don't make one of my own.
This is the EKG color way. It requires an F-row to look right so don't bother buying this set if you're on anything short of a 75%. It's just not for you. Go check out another IC like GMK Gravity Well. It's pretty cool in my opinion.
Anyways, EKG is inspired by monitoring vital signs like we do with this hobby. Always hoping for more life blood to come into the hobby (but they have to adopt our ways and opinions. No room for being too niche, yet (looking at you Topre bros)).
reminds me of DSA Valentine

btw if your ECG looks like this, something is wrong: the T wave is missing.

Fine.

EKG is inspired by the state of people's trust in GBs and the recent loss of several big players in the hobby. We can feel the tightness in our chest and hope it's just anxiety. We check with our family but we avoid the doctor because bad news scares us. Sometimes our breathing feels labored and next thing you know we've lost our T waves. Where did they go? What do they look like? I don't know, but they're probably green. Every beep on the EKG machine reminds us we're still here. Still breathing. Still fighting. To live another day to watch this hobby bounce back and become what it's meant to be...amazing...inger.

The color is bright green so it's easy to read and black and green is cool. The Matrix just made this color way super cool to begin with and it's never too late to jump on a band wagon, even if a reboot failed super hard.

Vendors haven't contacted me yet, but I'm sure they'll be frothing at the mouth to jump in on this set. I'm probably going to do it as a limited run. Maybe like 35 units.

I was playing with blender to further my skills and ended up liking the effects I got here.
I liked how symbiote had that membrane set and set off to learn how to recreate it. I applied it to this set and ended up liking how this looked.

Went ahead and rendered a few iterations.

Gonna see if anyone may be interested in this set.

Unironically, matekeys reached out to me to run this set.
