Design Inspiration.GMK Abyssal is a keycap set designed and revolving around Arknights Character; Skadi.

I decided to work with Skadi because I adore her character design and illustrations involving her as well as the story she has.
Skadi in the game is a 6-star operator, but if you know a bit about the game you probably know that she is pretty difficult to find broad use for.
SkadiSkadi is often portrayed as a very mysterious, careless and cold character, based on how she acts towards others, but once you get to know her you will learn that the reason she acts in this cold unfriendly way towards others really is that she is afraid of losing the ones she cares about.

On the battlefield Skadi is extremely efficient, and is often described as inhuman due to her seemingly never-ending stamina and extreme power. She wields a giant sword capable of ripping anyone to pieces, which has led to rumors that she is not 100% human as is also explained in archive file1.
“She will more often try to execute operations single-handedly and leave her teammates to clean up her mess, which has fostered resentment. Playing off her cold, sarcastic demeanor toward others and her relentlessness in battle, a rumor has emerged that she is part-demon.”
She is often talked about in a way that revolves around the depths of the ocean.
“Down beneath the vast blue sea, below the white waves that lap endlessly at the earth, lies all that I once held dear.”
“I'll show you the dance of the depths.”
“Who knows what lurks within the kelp forest?”
“When you've made the long journey through the dark up to the water's surface”
The design process.Starting out; choosing colors based on her character design is it's own thing but choosing the proper tones, and making sure everything works well together is another thing.

Initially just after starting out I had a good idea of what I wanted from this set based on Skadi’s character design .
For the Alphas i went with a light grey/silver color that matches Skadi's silver hair really well and gives the set a very distinctive look.
For the modifiers I originally started out with a lighter neutral grey but ended up using a dark almost black grey with a cold blue undertone.
A color that really stands out in Skadi’s character design is the blue on her clothing/hat. I decided to use A similar blue for the legends, which really makes the legends stand out on a rather muted grey set and really brings it to life.
