+1 to swag. The subtle sparkle is the whole point of a night sky set, purple and gold already do the heavy lifting. GLWIC
Ok, you brought me out of my hole -- I'm supposed to be a lurker only, but I've been following Desert Nights for some time now.
I just wanted to chime in that I'd much rather this stay as a GMK set. I see GMK's more subtle sparkle effect as a big draw -- not a drawback!
While the comparison with Vior make sense (especially since they're very similiar colorways), I don't personally like Vior's implementation of the sparkles. I was really hoping that Desert Nights would be more like a violet/indigo version of GMK Cosmos -- just with sandy colored legends/sparkle effects. I thought your initial renders captured this really well and I really think you should hold firm to that original design aesthetic. Yes, GMK costs more, take forever, and can be a huge pain to work with -- but they would be the ideal partner for this project.
This has the potential to be a really amazing set. I hope it turns out great and I'll be watching.
That's all I wanted to say -- talk to ya'all again in another 7 1/2 years
