[IC] GMK Heartland
« on: Sun, 16 June 2024, 19:59:12 »

Welcome everyone to the interest check for GMK Heartland!

This is a set inspired by the American Midwest, specifically around the harvest season.
Growing up in the Midwest, I always thought it was boring. Now, after studying in a big city, I have realized that (although, admittedly, it is still boring)
the Midwest has a comforting kind of beauty that I have tried my best to convey through this set.

Please take a couple minutes to fill out this IC Form (even if you are not interested, please still fill it out. All feedback helps): https://forms.gle/BjSwq9FDw3rbQvYq5

This is an environmental scene rendered using an HDRI, so it has not been color corrected. Therefore, colors are not accurate.

Colors
RAL 8001: Represents crops ready to harvest.
GMK BR1: Represents the soil that the crops grow in.
RAL 3011: Represents the changing colors of the leaves as autumn progresses.
RAL 6035: Represents the leaves that have not yet begun changing.
RAL 1006: Represents ripe crops, as well as the sunlight that helps to grow them.
Please keep in mind that RAL colors are physical colors, and so they are difficult to represent in a digital context.
Colors in renders have been color corrected to the best of my abilities (Unless otherwise mentioned), but different lighting conditions, environment, etc. can affect how the colors appear.
All renders were created with the Blender 4.2 beta release, making use of the new Khronos PBR Neutral tone mapping, in order to obtain the most realistic results. However, as mentioned, these colors should still be taken with a grain of salt.

Pricing and Vendors
To be announced if there is enough interest

Thank you for your time! I have put a lot of work into this, and I am excited to share it with the world and see where it goes.

You've a second B in base but no alice bars, this isn't using standard colours so there's no way to obtain bars to make use of the second B.

For your enter keys you have accent and modifier coloured for ANSI but alpha and modifier for ISO, seems a bit odd?

I think there is way too many kits here. You probably won't reach moq on two base kits, especially with custom colours. My advice would be to take out one of the base kits and modifiers and just have a green base kit and red modifiers so you can still have both without having so many kits, otherwise this project is gonna be dead on arrival.

Kitting needs some work too what no style said is correct but also there is no alpha pipe and mod tilde, also if you probably should add numpad = key if your gonna keep 00 key. Finally no mx hhkb support but that's not that big of a deal since there is no spacebars kit atm (and I whine about people not adding it way to much lol)

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

Listen bud,

I am all about corn, corn makes me happy - and I am glad it makes you happy as well.

The colorway needs a lot of work, perhaps there is some particular colorway that would work for this, but in all honestly, this is not it - nothing against you or your design - but let's play it loose, lets find something that looks as great as corn deserves

do it my dude, play around - find something dope.
