Other novelties I am planning to make:
- Coffee/Coffee bean
- Kaneki's mask

Anyone know how should I make the novelties such as it's format and resolution?

Update (August 2, 2017)
Here is a render made from http://kle-render.herokuapp.com. I also updated the colors since Maxkey only uses Pantone colors ending in C. I only used the C counterpart of the initial colors.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out.

Edit: I checked wolfmark and they used white legends while I used red. Is that okay?

You're good my dude. Can you provide the color codes as will in the OP?

Not a big issue at all, just informing you. You any lose a bit of possible buyers because of that, though.

If you provide color codes, that would be awesome.

And DSA Wolfmark looks similar to Mito's Overwatch DSA set, but I don't think anyone minded.

With that being said, don't get discouraged if your set looks similar. As long as it's not a clone, people seem to be okay with it. Looks great, in my opinion.

I was not making a big hubub about the colorway similarities. I actually stand strong that people care too much.

Hi guys!

There was a change in the color of the alphas. I looked for another color that would blend with the initial colorway. Then, I realized that Kaneki's kagune would sometimes look purple. So I've decided to use purple as legends for the alphas, mods didn't change.

Tell me what you think about it.

Which alpha legends do you prefer? Red or purple


I vote for RED font alphas

Noted. People are not responding regarding the purple legend alphas so I guess I should stick with the original.

Post by: bluesclera on Sun, 10 September 2017, 21:17:53


Would you consider offering the entire set(modifiers, function...) in the alphabase color (red on white)? or as an option?

I could offer it as an add-on kit so it won't affect the base set. Base set would include the red on black modifiers

How about making the legend on the black modifiers & return keys WHITE to match the alpha color?
I think too much red otherwise.

But that's what I like about this set.

I'll check what it would look like with white legend modifiers but right now I like it as it is.

I have a question regarding the white on black/black on white novelties. Do you think that it's okay the way it is? Since the modifiers are red on black.

Do you think the white on black novelties and black on white novelties would go well together with the mods?

Also, what do you think about black print on red base key novelties?
Title: Re: [IC] SA GHOUL (IC form inside)
Post by: bciamny on Tue, 26 September 2017, 09:43:44
i don't think you want too much color similarity between novelties and the keycap colorways because it could make the kit look seamless and take away from the distinctiveness of a novelty key.

Hi guys! I know I haven't posted in a while but I just want to let you know that I am continually making developments in this keyset.

I am currently coordinating with maxkey regarding the novelty designs. So far, some novelty design are too pointy so I made some tiny adjustments. I already submitted the revised designs and I am now waiting for their reply

Hi guys!! I'm alive haha
Sorry if I am not able to post updates for the last 3 months. I am very busy with work these past few months

Anyway, I already decided on what I want to include on the novelties and the base kit. More or less, this will be the final set with just minor revisions depending on the manufacturer. ZFrontier pledged before that they will handle the GB and I am confirming if they are still interested.
