This will be my first real Interest Check, for GMK GULF. I have been working on this set for a long time and finally have it to the point where I am liking it. I want to share, and collect feedback from all of you. Let's discuss :)

Inspired by this livery.

Looks good. I think the black enters look out of place and the white spacebar does, too. You may run into some trouble because Yuri uses the same colors, but colorways-shmolorways.
-
Here is another variation of color that I was exploring while discussing the color options on discord.
-
Assuming both renders are somewhat colour correct -
both of these things are not like the other!

Looks like Gulf would be much more bright/vivid, as per the actual livery :thumb:

Yes, I'll be on it, but please wait a few months, I'm broke with all these caps and keeps gbs at the moment

This looks more like a possible 2018 drop. Needs to get the ball rolling I presume before anything really happens. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Means i have to wait for it, but also it means it gives my wallet some time to refill itself.
-
I think that a blue spacebar would look a little better than the white. I like the reference to the white circle around the number but I feel it just doesn't look as good with the different colored spacebar.
-
Really really into the idea of a Gulf livery colorway. I'd be absolutely in, it'll look great on my Filco camo.
-
What do you think of doing F1-F4 and F9-F12 as novelties where the keycaps are still white, but with each F1, F2, etc. legend inside of a circle outlined in black and in a heavier font, like the numbers on the cars? You definitely need to keep a little bit of white and black in here, and I'd like to see it show up as something that looks more like the number badging in the Gulf Oil livery.

I like this idea, but see if it can be done as a separate kit. I like my F-legends too much.

as much as I am a fan of the gulf livery, I am not a huge fan of it on a keyboard.
-
I'm curious. Are you going with a custom color for the blue? GMK's cyan is not tremendously bright and popping when seen in person - I say having Skeletor on my keyboard currently.

Perhaps this mint might suffice, - and I do say that partly in jest. (Not my photo)

Some of those photos make the GMK cyan look brighter than it is. In person, it's not nearly as bright and popping a cyan. It's still a nice color but feels like it has a bit more gray in it.

Hey everyone - going to get through all your comments tomorrow after I'm done shipping. Sorry for the delay - have been moving!

Looks delish man! I like it :)
Got any ideas for novelties yet? Could you do the number logo for one of the bottom row alt/ctrl/win keys and replace number with the word or icon? Interested in what other ideas are floating around. Colours are tight.
-
Definitely like it!
-
Nice! I'd love to see real caps made in this colorway. They're very appealing for some odd reason.
I set up a custom one-off set for a friend a few months back for his Gulf-themed casemod he had going at the time:

Good luck on the IC!
