Title: [IC] GMK Keycap Set Based On Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp A Butterfly"
Post by: CAPS UNLOCKED on Mon, 19 September 2016, 11:26:28
This keycap set was inspired by Kendrick Lamar’s critically acclaimed studio album, “To Pimp A Butterfly”.

This keycap set is  currently a work in progress, and all feedback in appreciated.

The set will be created by GMK, and will feature the Cherry Profile.

The colours used are : CR, N9, 2B,  and GR1. The colour of the legends are CR and GR1.

Why are just the alphas a gradient and not the whole board? Looks really weird to me and also the idea is very very niche so I am doubtful you could hit a GMK MOQ with it, nice to see more creative ideas coming out though.

Thanks for the feedback!

Here is an image of the gradient applied to the entire keyboard.

Something to relate it directly to Kendrick would be cool.... maybe a red TDE esc key...

I think that the theme is extremely specific but at the least is a source for inspiration. All idea's need to come from somewhere.
Gradient sets aren't usually my cup of tea but i think a "toner" type set like this would be ideal for some people.

I am not a fan of gradient sets, so I don't think this would appeal to me at all.

i think this is pretty awesome. i'm definitely interested. it'd be cool if we can think of a way of making it more obviously kendrick related as mentioned above.
