Title: [IC] GMK Winter Morning | Canceled
Post by: Zronz on Sat, 06 November 2021, 11:42:30

[attachimg=9 align=center width=500]

Welome to GMK Winter Morning IC

This set was inspired by an atmospheric phenomenon during winter mornings when the sun colors the snow purple-ish.
The beige represents the rising sun and the purple portrays the snow on the ground.

ISO support is weird. Looks like you wanted to do UK ISO but gave up halfway through.

Also add F13 to base kit, please.

5 custom colors without very high MOQ is going to be a very high price and faces a real possibility of taking 18 months to be made.

Since you’re comfortable w having people spend this much on your design, you’ve obviously ordered the plastic RAL chips so you can show them in various lighting conditions-let’s get some pics.

I like the colours of the mods, and the icon only mods.

Some Pantone/RAL chips to show actual colour would be helpful. Also second the inclusion of F13.

I’m not sure about the spacebar kit. The darker purple spacebar seems out of place with the set.

Inverted MW Alpenglow? The similarities between these two sets color-wise seems high.

While I'm glad to see more mod-gradient sets being made, there's a reason why custom color mod gradients aren't being made with GMK right now. That base kit, with UK iso and a large numpad will easily cost 150$ at 250 MOQ, probably closer to 170$.

edit: Kavala's numpad only works because (a) it's a separate kit, and (b) it's ePBT.

I have to agree with Cylent here. While the colours are really nice and well chosen imo, I think that the size of the base kit in addition to the number of colours makes this set a bit difficult to be run as GMK while maintaining an affordable price. I'd try to dial in your base a bit more and consider other manus (then you could even add more kitting for the gradients and split them off if you wanted to).

That numpad is horrible dude you don't need 3 enters and +'s

Are you considering running this in PBT?

Surprisingly boring for a kit with these many colors

Is it canceled? changing to EPBT and making some kitting modifications could be a huge improvement, I personally dont like gradient sets much but it looks cute

I'm sure it'll be back when the RAL plastic chips ship.
