[IC] GMK CYL Gurokawa
« on: Wed, 02 July 2025, 14:45:56 »

Welcome to Gurokawa, my latest set that plays with the tension between the weird and the cute.

The first GMK set to use UV-printed gradients as a central design element, and also the first to be fully themeable.
You can switch between horror and cute depending on your build.

The novelties feature mirrored versions of each character, blending soft pastels with unsettling symmetry.
If you’ve seen my past work (GMK Mictlán, GMK Phantom R2), this one pushes things further.


KITS

Bleghkit

Custom Hiragana mods from GMK Inukuma

Normie (Alt Basekit)


Anomalies

Alt Grrr and uwu molds designed by Bagri and qarmaa.kb

Sticks


What's up with those novelties?
  • This set uses new technology that allows the application of gradients across all multicolor novelties.
  • All multi-color novelties will be UV printed
  • All single color novelties will be doubleshot (Kaomojis, Alt Grrrs, Heart Arrows, and uwu).



RENDERS

An actually interesting colour scheme, nice! My only request is to please remove the accent from R3 backslash as I'm not sure that's a thing. It's kinda weird on the R4 Angle bracket key too but somehow that makes more sense to me.

Instead of two base kits why won't you keep one normie icon base kit and add a sublegends kit?

You've hit it out of the park with this one. Great execution. I love how you paid attention to the various possible key combinations with the colored mods.

Any chance of getting System or Super instead of Code?

Hi everyone!

First off, thank you so much for all the great feedback and kind words you’ve been sending across all my channels. It really means a lot to see how much you all love my stuff <3.


CHANGELOG
I’ve taken in most of the feedback and tried to apply it to the base kits where it made sense.

Bleghkit:
- Fixed all the sublegends issues, especially the ones in the 2, [, ], ;, ', <, >, / keys.
- Fixed the color of the R2 Esc.
- Changed Code to Super. (It will be reflected in the renders later this week).

Normie:
- Replaced the regular @2 key for the ♥2 key. (Thanks to verbowse on Discord for this suggestion)
- Added 1U R3 / Alpha colored key
- Changed Code to Super. (It will be reflected in the renders later this week).

Anomalies:
- Fixed a small inconsistency of the heart arrow keys (These molds are going to be free to use for everyone btw)

Sticks - NEW:
- New spacebar kit added for HHKB and Layout JIS support

General:
- Yushakobo has been added as a Japanese Vendor.

Appreciate the feedback! But the core idea of this set is customization. Removing those elements would only limit that. Yeah, it’s weird, but that’s kind of the point. Some folks aren’t too caught up on what should be a mod or an alpha. They just want something that looks cohesive. So I’m keeping it.

Because alt alphas as a separate kit just don’t offer a good balance between key count and value. And like I mentioned earlier, the whole point of this set is customization. I can’t please everyone by placing specific mods in specific kits. The decisions were made carefully, with a lot of feedback from other places before the IC even went live. In general, people who don’t like sublegends tend to prefer text-icon mods, while those who do like sublegends usually lean toward icon-only or full icon mods. It’s mostly a preference around visual complexity, if that makes sense.
