Hey everyone, this is actually my first post on these forums, so hi to everyone.
Had an idea last night and toyed around with some colors, unfortunately I'm very new at using image editing software. This is my first attempt at a keyset and I guess I'm just wondering if I should keep going or if anyone's interested or has any input.
So far I've got:
ABS Plastic
Alphas are YCC with GSM Labels
Modifiers are RAS with GSC Labels
Silver alphas are GSL with GSM Labels
There are 5 colors used.
Font will be Gordon Modified, mockup is in Technic Regular
Not really sure on the profile.
Not really feeling the lower case letters, will redo mockup with capitalized modifiers instead
New update! Capitalized modifiers return! Novelty keys???
6/3 Update: Currently on the backburner

New Alphas are a closer to white than grey color.
May add a darker grey mockup in the future.
No Numpads yet but will be included.

So if anyone doesn't think this is poorly composed, I'd love to go ahead and try and create some child deals as well as finish the arrow keys. Like I said though, I'm not very good at image editing and would have trouble creating any cool icons.
Please give me any feedback! It is much appreciated!
but aren't lotus flowers pink?
Yeah...they are. See, I was totally gonna think of a cool name for this keycap set, and I was like...okay Crimson Lotus. Then I thought everyone would judge me for a nerdy name so I just left it at lotus. The original inspirations for the set don't have very deep origins. I've always enjoyed a crimson/merlot/grey color combination. The creamy color reminds me of ivory chess pieces. I ended up naming the set "Crimson Lotus" in my head, crimson because of the heavy red accents and lotus because of a fictional series with a fictional chess-like game that had a lotus piece which I thought would be a neat signature cap. Anyways, I made up Crimson Lotus v2 since there was some mild interest. I'd like to be sure this set is garnering some interest before I continue any further though.

As for v2, I used the RGB codes from deskauthority to generate the colors this time around so it looks truest hopefully. Dropped the all-capitalization on the accent keys. Included a grey alpha set.

Well hopefully this set does gain traction, because even though it's not pink like I said, it's still a damn good set.
