Title: Looking for someone w/ exp in key set creation and artistic eye
Post by: noisyturtle on Tue, 14 February 2017, 17:44:43
Been wanting to do a Cedar Waxwing inspired set for a few years now, never had the time or skill to do so. Looking for someone w/ experience in creating set mock ups so we could potentially collab and get a GMK Cedar Waxwing set made sometime in the future.
Making a set seemed like such a pie in the sky idea just a few years ago, but now it feels like everyone is doing it and it has become so accessible :)

PM me and lemmie know if this is something that may interest you

For inspiration:

I love that color palette! Burnt orange, bright yellow, black and pastel blue. I'm sad you're looking to do GMK (I'd rather DSA) but I'm guessing this will look amazing.

Actually I am open to anything right now (except high profile) DSA is absolutely possible. I know nothing about running a GB, but am open to whatever people would like to see most. If it actually happens I'll maybe hold a poll here/on DT/ and on /r/mk and pool the results.

You forgot that touch of brought red!

noisyturtle, these colors could really create a beautiful set (especially in GMK). I'm not one with the artistic eye that can put it together, but I hope to see something cool come out of this.

I was picturing something like that rust brown orange as the alphas- that blue grey steel for the side keys - pale yellow F-row with option for blue grey or maybe a lighter grey - and an optional baboon ass red spacebar

I'd like to work the white in too, white legends would look nice over the grey but I dunno how it would all come togeather

Yeah, not quite what I had in mind. Although I do like the shift/function button idea. Maybe it would be better w/ the colors switched I've no idea, why we need an artist's eye :P

I tried to keep true to the organization of colors in the inspiration picture. But I don't think they work that way. They can definitely work together though.

Not sure how I feel about the yellow spacebar.
