Disclaimer : Colors seen on a monitor will alwasys differ from in person.
I have tried my best to match the colors in the kit renders to reflect the physical colors to the best of my ability.
I will update the kitting renders if I manage to find a better representation of the physical colors.

Things to do based on feedback :
Check sublegends on base kit render
Redo novelty renders with updated novelty tolerances

following! big fan of the colour choices. nice work with the novelties.

Post by: sup3r170va on Sat, 25 September 2021, 13:32:18

I like the colour, the icon only mods abs the hiragana.

The sub legends in the keycap render looks a bit odd though.

Post by: HungHingDaiLo on Sat, 25 September 2021, 21:28:18

Intriguing color choice, not convinced yet on how L9 color blends in with the alpha and the mods color.
Nonetheless, GLWIC!

Post by: _rubik on Sat, 25 September 2021, 21:30:02

Why icon mods but text R5? I know other sets have done this before, but for some reason the contrast is really stark here

Love the colors! Fits the theme really well and the references to Angel Beats in the novs are a nice touch. All the best!

It's actually a very standard layout, where only shift, caps, return, tab, and Backspace are icon-only. It's particularly standard in Germany, where GMK is based.

nice kitting and colors but the hira subs in the renders look too big

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Tenshi
Post by: vishydesigns on Tue, 28 September 2021, 20:59:04

Love this, be aware that alt alphas for gmk dont always do well, but i think it looks good, would like to see custom angles for board renders as opposed to stock krk ones. Good work!

Do you have a gmk ring and ral chips? I think your choice of colors is questionable and I have a feeling they won't translate the way you think they will.

Hey there, I do have a GMK color ring and a RAL D2 book. Like i mentioned, I have matched it to the best of my ability. If you have a book too and would like to comment on if some things could be lighter or darker, do let me know.

Hello all,

Just an update to say that this project is still alive. Do check the main update tab to see more.

But main thing that i want to address, the designer that i comissioned for deskmats seems to have ghosted me.
So on that note, i am now looking for a new artist, and for this i apologise.
If anyone has an artist they would liek to reccommend, do drop me a message and ill take a look at them.

Thanks for your understanding.

If you've received quotes that means you must be planning on running this soon. Good luck with sale! I love the color of the alphas! Might have to hop in on a base kit!

I really like the color choices but not the biggest fan of Kono as it usually means an expensive base, GLWIC nonetheless!

Its been a while since the last update.
But here we are, with some actual samples now. I have to say I am quite satisfied with the way the deskmats turned out.
And also with the slightly reworked novelty kit, I feel like we are getting close to be able to set a GB date and finally get this started!

Post by: misotsu on Sun, 25 September 2022, 08:59:57

Hello everybody!

Its just a bit more than 2 weeks to go till the GB starts and as promised, one more set of renders have been done.
For the metal artisan, I am in the final stages of discussions and should be able to get a preview out in another week at most.
And also previews for the collab with MelonKeys! I was extremely excited for it the moment i saw the proposed color way in our discussions.
What i did not expect though, was that it was not going to be only the DM/DMG sculpts but also the 2 new scuplts from them!
I hope you are as excited for them as I am.

As always, do let me know what you think and thanks for your time
