[IC] GMK Senpai / GMK Knight
« on: Wed, 15 July 2026, 06:24:25 »
Hello everyone, this is Ephem.This is a relatively simple IC post.
Earlier this year, after the conclusion of Fate/Grand Order, I had the idea of creating a keycap set inspired by Artoria Pendragon. However, during the design process, I felt that the character’s unique elements were not being represented strongly enough, so I decided to explore another project based on Ciel instead.
I plan to choose one of these two concepts to further develop and eventually bring it to a group buy. This IC is mainly for collecting feedback and suggestions from the community.

Below are the keycap renders. Please note that the colors may differ slightly from the actual color samples.

GMK Senpai
More
Simple Base
Novelties
Hiragana or Katakana legends

GMK Knight
Simple Base
Novelties
Possible new rune-style legends
Some simple keyboard renders

Color Selection

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I will continue to update this post with any future progress.

Update Log
2026/07/25 — Added some keyboard renders featuring the Knight keycap.
Collapsed the Senpai keycap section, as it seems that the Knight keycap has attracted more interest.

Rune Sub-Legends look fun. Really like the “Knight Colors” it feels very cohesive and on theme.

The color combination looks really clean and well balanced.

GMK Knight looks like the winner of the two, it definitely needs the yellow accents (Esc, Enter) for it to pop. Also novelties might need some rework due to doubleshot tolerances.

Thank you for your suggestion! Since Knight was a design I created earlier this year, there were still many aspects I hadn’t fully considered at that time. I mainly wanted to experiment with UV-printed novelty keycaps because I felt they could add more visual interest. Using yellow as an accent color could be a good direction, although I had also considered some other color options during the early design stage.

I personally really like the colors as is. Yellow as an accent could be nice as long as it isn't forced accents. Tbh I would rather a light gold color over yellow lol.
