Title: [IC] GMK Soap (Updated 2/4)
Post by: soupman on Mon, 04 February 2019, 03:15:49
Hello, I'm starting an interest check for a keycap set based partly off of this aesthetic:

[attachimg=1]

They will be Cherry profile doubleshots produed by GMK.
Here's the base set:

[attach=2]

Please let me know if this colorway is garbage or if you would actually spend money on this. This is my first time doing anything like this so feedback would be appreciated.

Updates:
 2/4/19: Slightly modified the alpha legends and modifiers

I like that you didn't design all modifiers pink. But I have to say no because I'm not a fan of pink.

Too similar to GMK Bento.

This is an odd criticism but the name should be changed lol, gmk soap doesn't have much of a ring to it

I think it's too similar to Bento as well and the odd thing is Bento looks more like the inspiration soap picture than this set does.

Really glad to see someone take the first step and do your first interest check! Idea is really cool but I agree with those who say it's a little too similar to Bento. Keep working at it though, would love to see new ideas of yours!

Thanks for the replies! I changed the alpha legends a bit and made the modifiers more turquoise so hopefully it looks a bit better and less similar to bento.

Thats the good **** I'm talking about. Sign me the **** up.


In all seriousness though, the light blue on the f row/enter/space bars looks at little odd. I suggest changing it to the alpha colors, or making all the alphas that blue. Keep that Irish spring though baby. ;)

Not sure if others feel the same, but I think you might have too much going on. I think I count like 6 or 7 keycap/legend color combos, and many of them don't seem complimentary colors.  IMO I would find 2 or 3 colors you want the set themed around and stick with those.

Not a huge fan, the colors just don't work for me. Also they don't remind me anything of soap.

I don't like this set. The green just isn't attractive with the rest. I love the colors on the enter key though. I would buy a whole set in those colors.

Y'all wild if you think this is too close to Bento 🤨

disagree that it's too close to Bento, colors are way different
this is fresher, I'd rather join Soap

Hope there will be some novelties.
