Title: [IC] Bice Blue - SA keycaps set
Post by: AresTheGod on Sun, 14 August 2016, 16:07:21
Hey GH!

Here's a set I've been thinking of for a while, I'll call it Bice Blue, in reference at the Azurite witch inspired me for this set.
It will be the first time that I do something like that, so I'm not really familiar with the whole process, that being said, here's what I've think about

My inspiration came from this mineral, called Azurite  [attachimg=1]

Here the render from KLE (the color may look a bit different IRL I think)
[attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=13][attachimg=14] (Imo this one look's too much like the set Dasher/Dancer)
[attachimg=15]

Tried to use the KLE-Render tool to see what it would look like 
[attachimg=4][attachimg=5][attachimg=6][attachimg=7][attachimg=8][attachimg=9][attachimg=10][attachimg=16]

The detail :
Still haven't set my mind on what profile I should go (here's a poll http://goo.gl/Dg5ZE3 (http://goo.gl/Dg5ZE3) ), but I'd say SA
The set will be produced by SP probably on MassDrop
The color that I used are : BGA ( blue ),BFU (dark blue) GD ( Grey), VAG (light green),VV (dark green) GEW (darker grey) GSZ (darkest grey)

Got few ideas for novelties :
-Remplace the numbers of the Numpad by different mineral like :[attachimg=11]
-Remplace the numbers of the numpad by the chimical composent of each mineral like :[attachimg=12]
To-do list if the IC get enough interest :
- Novelties
- Child Kits
- get better 3D renders (because mine looks horrible  :rolleyes:)

Again I'm new to this whole thing so any advice/feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks  !

Looks good. Is this SA row 3? The renders look like DSA profiles

Reminds me of Deep Space.

Thanks!
I used the KLE-Render (unluckily haven't got the skills to mke a great 3D Render myself) witch support only DSA

Reminds me of Deep Space.

Now that you say it. Took inspiration from the Hyperfuse, and made it darker with my own colors

Looks like Deep Space V2 to me as well.

Round 6 has similar colors, its Phase 1 will be completed soon and contains all of these colors.

IMHO you should chose another color combo for your set

Yeah seems it looks to much like these set...
Need to get something special that will difference my set to the others
Maybe something like that?
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=4]

That piece of Azurite is beautiful, so why is 2/3 of your design grey? To me that completely ruins it, sorry.

Don't worry. I'm here to get feedback, and it's exactly what you're giving me !
Made some with blue, but think I feel it's missing something
[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3]

Here's some different design
[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3]
I feel like the second one look' too much like the Dasher/Dancer set

Looks like deep space then some random DSA sets.

I can't tell if there's a central idea behind this whole thing.

At the beginning had a central idea, being a blue/green/purple color scheme, but then I realized it looked to much like other set, soo tried different combination of color but it seems there's no point in doing so ...

I think find a centralized theme first; a point of departure/inspiration.

Make to captivate.

Yeah I think I'll do that.
I'll come back with a clear idea of what I want, and a unique design !

Dual BLUE is already in MassDrop's hands:

[attachimg=1]

Blue/Gray is already in production (Round 6 Space Cadet):

[attachimg=2]

I love blue keycaps, but with Classic Space out there already too, blue sets may be getting difficult to differentiate.

If you like dual blue, then I invite you to add your vote to the MassDrop poll for SA Dasher/Dancer.

If you like blue/gray, then I'm pretty sure that CADET and BLUE/SPH kits are still available from Round 6.

Already did it  ;D It looks pretty damn good!
Getting my new White Fox in 2 months, I'll think I'll grab one set like that , but I don't think there are compatible with The White Fox w/ True Fox layout :(
