I do like Red Giant. The others, not so much. Good luck with this set!

Yes, works now. The colour themes are a bit too wild for me. Also, I kind of fail to see the connection with space exploration...

Very interested to see how this develops! (so much fun to be had in this artstyle era with labels on modifiers & graphics on novelties)

The inspiration is cool but the distribution of colors doesn't really match with how colorful the images are... But best of luck!

My first rendering (below) was more in line with my inspiration photos, but I felt it would be more difficult to market.

I like this version better? I'm not representative of the community, though.

What’s the motivation behind the set? Do you personally love the color scheme? Are you just trying to make a key set? To me it seems very unrefined. I think you need to focus on a single color scheme and refine it until it really fits whatever theme you’re going for.

Sorry OP. If you ran a popular GB before you could pick any mediocre color scheme and it would get hype and hit MOQ for sure. Reading the reactions here, you'll have to work harder.

I really like the theme and I think the colors would all make for nice accent colors.

But I agree with the other comments that the current design is poorly considered and needs revision before it will be something people want to purchase.

Edit: I also think the theme could use some more refinement. Maybe pick one movie or novel and lean into that aesthetic specifically, e.g. Forbidden Planet.

Yellow/Gold on red isn’t a good idea with Samurai and KAT Explosion running

I think Yellow on blue could work decently well with a bit of red here and there. I love the yellow accents though

Not really digging this. Something about the colors really clash in my mind.

Hey maybe an idea, but I think dark mods with coloured accents could work really well! Give it less of a clashy vibe. For example, dark grey/black mods and lighter grey/black alphas.
Just an idea to make this set work better imo.

This set is not bad. It's just that this is not what I would think of when it comes to the cosmos theme.

inb4 keep the colors and rename it to GMK CMYK
