Rama x Mizu

E-white Alu with Navy enamel fill



Dark Navy Alu with (Glow In the Dark) enamel fill 







There seems to be a weird "Blue/Gold dress" optical illusion on some of the renders, that make the set look like GMK Olivia to some people. Here is a comparison of the two to show the true difference in their colors

Very interesting set! I love when designers make their keyset with Icon Mods. Wish you success on this!

[etong415]

This is awesome, I’d be in for a set

Oooh man I really dig the colors here!

The link to the IC form is broken for me though.

Thanks for the heads up, I just fixed it!

[SolidCactus]

Oh man I love the novelties! Especially the Ang key

[megaforce]

ne hiragana avial?

Also those desk mats are dope as hell -- show them off on the OP. The colours are fresh too.

[Lbibass]

I have to say, the renders and the colors look fantastic! Looking forward to this set. I am getting a yuri vibe from the alphas, even though they aren't really similar.


Would be interesting to see how these alphas and Yuri mods would look together...

[Rensuya]

ne hiragana avial?

I didn't plan for hiragana because I don't care for it too much. If enough people want it then I will consider, but I'm trying to keep from doing too many kits.

[otanishock]

Just go to GB already I'll buy lol

[RamenTechMech]

Oh my, the colors on this set are amazing!! I love the calming blue and white look to it  Definitely will be checking up on this

Here is the alpha patones side by side from Pantone's website 

[Rubbermilitia]

Really solid set. Colors are unique and match well, and the mod icons are pretty cool. I like it

[infinitestratas]

Nice colors and pretty neat novelties
Definitely interested 

[japanesehorrorwriter]

Yup. This is supercool. In for this.

I've never matched Yuri to pantone. The alphas on Yuri are based on BFM color from Signature Plastics.

I was just pulling that info from your comment I found on Massdrop. Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply you based your colors off of pantones.

[mrpetrov]

Gorgeous!

[Koatl]

Wow dude, very nice set. I'm sure you'll have no problem reaching MOQ.

Know if the deskmats might be sold separately? I'd probably pick up a few of those.

Hope you come out with stuff for the tribes too haha.

Also FYI, "mizu" is Japanese but the symbol being used in the mats is Chinese. In Mandarin it's "shui" pronounced shway. GMK Shui has a cool ring to it. Not suggesting a name change or anything though. Just figured I'd mention it. Fantastic work dude!

Yes, the deskmats will be sold separately (probably only one design though unless there is a lot of interest for more than one design)

That is also the kanji symbol for water in Japanese. But the show also mixes and matches Japanese and Chinese characters and language. I just prefer Mizu because I'm a weeb

Oh cool! Didn't even know that! Good **** dude. I really love not only the set but the way you're managing it and these seriously fantastic mats. I hope the fish win out. I'm undecided on which I like best though. X_X

Oh probably someone asked me for closest pantone colors haha.

[MrFurrior]

Really like this, would be a definite buy!

[nudoh]

This looks great! love the different tones of blue

[mrpetrov]

I like the novelties in and of themselves, but I feel they detract from the really delectably clean and clear contrast vibe of this set, so I would probably only go for base and space bar kit. The novelties are great, but they add more curve and clutter than I would personally like to see on this board.

[Hisui]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) That polar bear dog is looking good

[chuckdee]

Very nice soothing colors!  I'll be keeping an eye on this one!

[bball2]

Looks dope, if you are taking feedback for the kits, maybe consider the 4 icon packs on the space bar kits onto the base kit?

[upas]

I love the novelties and the deskmat designs. And the colors are fantastic as well.
I don't know anythign about Avatar, but I'm glad you didn't add Hiragana legends and it has a very clean look.

100% would buy. RIP my wallet in 2019.

One thing I would love to have is novelties for R1 - R4 so that the extra section on a 65% can show off all the novelties.

EDIT: If that's not possible... R3 and R4 pgup and pgdown would be cool

[V. Vega]

I really like this and love the shades of blue you used!
The only thing I'd like to see would be a mod colored space bar added to a kit.

[Hisui]

By the way, I did the art for the novelties, desk mats, and the realistic Naga image. So if anyone has any questions or suggestions about those i can help answer.

Oh, thank you!! :3

[appaboy]

you have my support, this looks great!

[jobicoppola]

Love the colors and the Avatar tie-in, would def be in for this.  Was getting a little tar heels vibe also when filling out the IC form - not sure if that is intentional or not but either way looks really good

It was not intentional but I did notice it myself after the designs we're finished. I actually live in NC

Heyyy, this is pretty clean!

[PotatoTM]

This is such a pleasing set, love the novelties too!

[FullSend]

Interested!

[druck21]

Love this! In for a base set for sure.

[Ensaum]

I'm not really a fan of the base set, but I'm a huge fan of the series and love the novelty kit. Would definitely be down for one when this happens.

[Sushiimi]

Big fan of the inspiration and the set! Fully in on it if it goes to GB 

[mattp]

Awesome colors. Interested.

[tex_live_utility]

I really like the idea here, and I really like the novelties, but the white accents kind of clash with the blue alphas.

[yap68]

This is how a good IC should look like. Like the novelties.

[Hisui]

well, the colors were heavily based on Korra. Her clothing is the same 3 colors. Dark blue and light blue with an accent of white.

[click clack jack]

The colors are unreal, so beautiful. And then the novelties are such icing on the cake it is unreal!

BUYING NO MATTER WHAT.

My one suggestion is to consider adding more 1u novelties in more profiles so that we could fill the far right bonus side side of 65% keyboards.

I'm glad you like it so much. I have had other people ask about that too. If we were to add more what would you like to see? Also, did you add this to the google form? That's mainly how we're keeping track of how many people want what
