[IC] War Maiden
« on: Thu, 24 February 2022, 04:02:30 »


KBM War Maiden


IC Form

My name is Keebhoarder., and I’d like to introduce my first keycap set. So why War Maiden?
Well first of all, I'm but a simple weeb. I don't see a character set I like, I struggle to make one.

Hold on, a weeb set? You’re damn right it is. This is for all of us degenerates who are big fans of that one tearjerker of a show.





Color Scheme

Keycap Lore:
More
Blue is derived from her top. It certainly sticks out as it's basically highlighted by the lighter cream colored dress that she wears underneath.
The emerald green comes from her brooch, which also has an emerald gem; this is her most precious treasure, given to her by someone she
considers a major character in her life. The brown legends and red accents come from a combination of her boots, belts/straps, and her ribbon.

Now, as to why I named the set War Maiden: It's because she was once a ruthless soldier for the opposing army. But after
meeting a certain someone, her whole world changed. "War" symbolizes her involvement in the story's conflict, and "Maiden"
highlights her feminine side. War Maiden is a title that perfectly suits our heroine!


However, even though the first thing I mentioned earlier was that this is a weeb set, because the anime itself is
supposedly Western in setting, I decided not to include hiragana or katakana sublegends.

Brown: Pantone 4625 U

Wish color schemes included her hair. Blue and emerald are reasonable choices but I dont associate her with browns or creams (or at least not as much as yellow-ish color).

I'll produce a render of the less-yellow cream alphas as a comparison. Will edit this post and you can check for yourself, and hopefully others will give their take too. Surprised you don't associate brown with her seeing as it's also pretty prominent in her whole outfit (boots, gloves, typewriter case, belt, inner skirt). I guess we'll check what other people think about the browns.

Thank you for your feedback!

Edit: Here's a less-yellow alphas comparison. Note that I updated the kitting a bit. Treat the extra F12 as an F13 key.
