[IC] GMK Denim
« on: Sun, 07 January 2018, 14:20:56 »
Hey hey!

Most of you and ofcourse myself love jeans. In this regard i'd like to introduce you to GMK Denim keyset.


The colors of alphas are self explaining. The mods have light brown color which does in my opinion complements the alphas pretty well (like leather complements denim). As you can see there are also some accent keys. Those keys might look to you red but they are more like copper orange. Probably i will correct that copper orange more towards orange. The symbols colors is beige. Same beige as used in GMK Carbon. Overall GMK Denim is using only custom colors.

Logo


Base kit

Pricing will be 125$ until the lowest MOQ.

Render by Oblotzky












If you like this set and has any wishes or suggestions then reply below.

Eclipse will make a comeback but i dont think it will be on Massdrop. If time will come you will be able to get it directly from Europe ;)
Tho its also possible Eclipse will be available someday also on Massdrop. Everything depends on situation ;)

Nice and original colorway. I was going to joke that the red accents were symbolic of catching your junk in the zipper, but then you said they are more of an orange.

Looks great, love the brown + blue combo! Since there is extra 2,3,4, would it be possible to get the <,> key next to ISO L-shift?
Hope to see eclipse soon. Maybe a quick drop simular to GMK mint dolch?

As i said i am still in prototyping phase. Tho i share with you some sketches. Keep in mind they are kind of stupid overboard i need to find some balance.

Stitched mods with words only.


Stitched icon mods.


Those are just fast sketches and if i pick one i will need definitely to work out those properly.

When it comes to stitched mods - the ones with labels are ok, but icon ones could use some work (like making the stitching more prominent).

k got here OG stitched Icon mods ready. (i mean i got svgs ready ;) workflow rocks if it makes fun)


The basic idea is to offer base set full denim like displayed (no brown leather sorry). Tho those stitched icon mods will be offered separately as Novelties. I dont want to enforce those stitched mods to anyone. Thus the base set will be only word mods like in oblivion. This way i want to give you the opportunity to get just basic clean set in denim colors.

As i said the stitched icons will be novelties and i want add also some leather like patches keys. For example the enter (GMK since 1992) in previous sketches. Probably i will do GMK not for enter but for caps lock bacause i want also similar leather key for "CHERRY" logo with since text too. Anyway i will look into it later.

please no to the stitched mods. Also the blue + brown was perfect.

In case for full leather mods i also consider doing full leather mods like the patches in novelties.

nice!   Dark blue modifiers look perfect. Perhaps it would be better to have only few "stitched" novelty keycaps.  Not all modifiers (probably expensive too).

Update
As i mentioned there are some color changes.
Base kit


Novelties kit

Not sure about that "since 1992" i think i should keep it clean.


I will look also into leather mods. Tho if i dont like those i will skip the leather mods.

How about 'est. 1992'? I think that's the more common abbreviation used when a company brags about their founding date.

Small update.

I've talked to people in slack and they wished the leather patches to be lighter with light red symbols. Similar to Levi's. Especially that cherry enter.


Probably it would be wise to make an extra leather patches kit. I like every leather patch version i did before so i would love to get em all  :))

Yep see the picture above ;)

Perhaps the brown accent keys should be included in the base set over the red accent keys, as they fit the denim aesthetic a little better? I still like the red accents, but to me, it feels like they belong in the accent kit.

I get more and more the feel the base should be merged with novelties. This will make base kit more expensive but will reduce the price for those who want novelties by large amount. I mean cmon everyone wants them.

In this regard i am doing this poll: VOTE!

Do you mean full light brown leather mods or just the accent ones?  The latter is being merged into a larger base set apparently.

Something like this?



I like it and i like all other versions. Tho its quite hard decision. I have no idea how well Denim can go. Introducing leather mods will basically require a whole base set with leather mods, because most of the keys are mods. I wish i could offer two base sets. One with denim mods and leather accent keys and one with full leather mods.

I like both but brown mods would push me to buy over blue, as that combination is so unique; the Oblotzky renders really grabbed me.  Can we see a render with blue mods?
