I really tried to make GMK Vines, but I realized that the colors don't exactly work with N9, or many others. Green is simply hard to compliment with Red & other mute tones such as grey and black in my opinion. Maybe it's just my aesthetic though.
Anyways, here is DSA Forare.
Note. This is not a poker set. This is just an example. I will be working on a full set with compatibility. this set will be made in DSA.

Background
We're all about nostalgia these days. As we get older, we realize how lacking contemporary TV/gaming culture currently is. There haven't been any great characters created that can fight the likeness of famous characters such as Pikachu, Mario, and many more. In fact, these characters are always seeing their games being renewed with new consoles entering the market.
Today, I find myself purchasing old toys that I used to own. Treasures such as Blue Version & Red Version are such classics, and owning it again brings back the days of my personal childhood. Personally, I'm happy to say that I still own Ocarina of Time & the N64 so I'm happy to be presenting this colorway.
Here, I present to you... DSA Forare. Inspired by my favorite Hero of Hyrule, Link the bearer of the Spirit of the Hero. Over the years, we've seen many iterations of Link come up. For this keyset, I will be focused on the classic, the best pot smashing game there is, Ocarina of Time. I will be hinting a little at toon link, but I'll try to keep them separate.

My main challenge while choosing the colors was how much I wanted to hint at Link's original character design. I only chose the colors, and put it on a 60%, but you can bet that there will be more hints of brown, and some hints of red.

Background
Originally inspired by TRON colors, I sought out to make a set with darker modifiers. I was growing a little tired of how every set had light alphas (grey or white). I tried a few designs out, and then eventually just passed the project aside. After making Hydro, I went back to this set to try to complete it and this is what I came up with. While I didn't achieve my initial goal, I think I came out with something that I find to be the "Tron Dolch" or "Keyclack Set". After finishing my color selection, I realized that these colors have been a part of my logo since I started my website.

The Set ; Unpolished
This uses the GMK Hydro KLE but with changed colors.
If this ever goes into GB, or anything, kits will be consolidated into universal packs. Sorting will be done by SP.

Isn't that Dolch?
Funny you should say that. After putting it together and sending it a few people to look over... within seconds I realized that I was looking at Dolch. I looked at the Miami Dolch DSA thread, and was happy to see that the colored mods are not the (exactly) same.
Why post an IC?
Seeing as I'm nearly complete with finalizing GMK Hydro, I went back to this set and made a second stab at it. The purpose of posting this IC is not with the intent of making it happen, but to put here as a project that I might taken on after GMK Hydro finishes the payment phase. I also like having a place to document my ideas. Plus, I hope this inspires someone else to make a keyset. A LOT of cool stuff has been coming out recently :)

I need a Zelda Keyset in my life!

I'm excited to see some novelties. I was messing round with a Zelda set a few weeks ago and played around with hylian language as the alphas. I think this could be amazing

Working a lot of sketches atm. Definitely trying to incorporate some of our favorites: Deku Tree, Pots, a weapons pack, and of course, Nav!

Literally willing to auction off a kidney if Hylian alphas happen for this or any other LOZ themed set. For real though.

How can you not want that on your keyboard. None of that casual stuff either with doubleshot (triple shot?) Hylian + Latin legends or front/back shot, na, just straight up Hylian would be the Grail. Could make it a different (non-standard/child) set if it were to be less popular than standard Latin, I bet a lot of us nerds would be all over that.
I need it, Joseph. I need it. :-X
This is a great idea! I'll look at this a little more. I'll look at this a little more and see how Elven granite was made.

Exactly what I was thinking!!! If I could get some Hylian alphas this would be my top keyset for sure. It'd be an instant buy
Can this be one of the novelties?

Oooooo I actually like this one too. I love the green alphas on this and the beige alphas on the first post in here. I'd love to see those novelties actually on the keys and some kits!
