[IC] [VOTE] Arctic or Tropic keyset (mostly will DSA)

[jebbra]

Hello fellow GH members!

UPDATED DESIGN

After tweaking the colors more I concluding this two themes: Arctic & Tropic!
Depicting the vast and cold arctic the all blue but white keycaps will chill your rig while the lush and juicy tropic will refresh your table instantly



Please vote here for the color and profile! http://bit.ly/2ewOVaP

=============================================================================================

I'd been an admirer of nature for long enough and I try to express it in keysets but as you know when we talk about keysets, one is absolutely not enough. And so is when designing them.

Inspired by land and sea (to be precise, ranger and beach) I created these 2 sets

Previous design:




But I can't pick one of them out since I love both of them so I will drop this here so we all can decide which one most people wanted 
Of course I want to run both of them but we all know it certainly can't. The best bet is to run this one after another.

Since what I already have is only color scheme and I'm just starting this hobby this year, I need your input as much as possible.

Sorry for the potato render. I will try my best to make a better ones.

TO DO
1. Make better render
2. VOTING
4. Decide kits
6. Make an even better render
7. Decide GB format
8. Open GB

CURRENT SITUATION

Vote for the winner!

Based on the renderings, I kind of prefer the "sea" theme over "land" as the latter's fonts are not too legible given the coloway

That's certainly something I will work 1st on the better render part. KLE is quite basic 
Thanks for the feedback!

sea looks like bootleg reverse raindrop

my vote goes for land

[Overchecken8]

Definitely prefer sea! Looks good

I agree. My vote goes to Land aswell.
I would be nice to see this in cherry profile (GMK), so that's my suggestion.

I prefer land, DSA.

The 'sea' one feels more 'arctic' than 'oceanic', probably due to all the white.

Too many sea/water/blue-themed keysets already. I'm for land.

[BAS1C]

Damn, love the Sea version! DSA PBT would be godlike. I am not a green person...

[seville57]

I also go for the land set (I can't swim) but I have some 108 keys k - boards so I be missin 4 caps. DSA should be great, not a big fan of SA.

Been working on better mockup and color rendetion to improve the impression, expect ver.2 on this weekend 


This kind of thing is what I'm working this time, translating color chips to vector and making a simple keycaps render

The blue I'm using is a more pastel and a bit purple not fresh blue on Raindrop so don't worry, this won't look the same 
And thanks for the vote!

Honestly I'm thinking about a fresh salmon on a river when designing that (using it on the accent), and the white is just a nice match for the blue and the salmon. But I'm agree, overall it looks more snowy than watery.

THIS  while I prefer the sea over the land but objectively speaking it's been blue all these 2 years. Should I ride the hype or give another option?

I'm afraid we can't do PBT cuz the alpha is white on blue.

I also go for the land set (I can't swim) but I have some 108 keys k - boards so I be missin 4 caps. DSA should be great, not a big fan of SA.

Take it easy, as I still tweaking the color, I will talk to some senior here regarding the kit separation to make it as broad bus as efficient as possible

[Elpippi]

Agreed with everyone's "too many blues", but I'm loving the salmon!!!
Maybe sea for me then...

[jebbra]

Updated the design 

[Vigrith]

There's a few blue sets out there right now but out of those two I have to say the Arctic definitely looks better (imo). Might be biased though as I'm not a big fan of green on keyboards generally!

[Parva Ovis]

No longer a fan of Arctic without the salmon accents. If the Tropic's yellow was a little paler I think it would look nicer; the YBP is too much like artificial butter.

[SpareWalrus]

I much prefer the old Arctic design with the salmon accents. Not a fan of the new colors.

The yellow actually come from mango, not butter

Because KLE color is so wrong I cannot get the exact color like that on the real color chip, and the color I use as salmon accent is much much saturated in real that's why I take it down.

Just a quick sketch at Arctic with Salmon accent and changing the mod's legend from BGA to BDG (same with alpha's base)
