[IC] GMK CYL Shellshocked

Being in the hobby for a relatively short time, I thought I would have a go at putting a keycap set together. This set is inspired by the radical renaissance ninjas.

Without knowing how this whole process goes, I’m hoping for this set to get made with GMK, but we’ll see how this pans out.

Interest Check Form

Kitting:

Note: Still undecided on the novelties, and whether they can actually be done in doubleshot. Will likely refine the Bo Staff - it currently looks like a bread roll.

I’m just throwing in the following kits just to see if there would be enough interest for them to be made.

Note(s):

  • I’m not a fan of novelties, as I find myself not using them all that much, if at all, so I don’t think I’ll ever design novelties for my sets. I’ve just proposed some in the Extension kit, after the first round of feedback.
  • I’m not a fan of text+icon mods - it’s either all icon or all text.
  • The kitting is subject to change depending on the feedback - I’m taking a guess in the dark of how much it’ll be priced at, and I’ve decided on this kitting so as to make the Accent kit to make sense. Personally I never use ISO, (4 key) 40s, and 6.25u bottom row, but have included it in the BaseKit, because from what I’ve read there’s a bit of conjecture of how much removing these parts of the BaseKit will actually save on the final cost, and some people use those keys.
  • Same with the numpad - I’ve read conflicting reports that leaving a numpad in the base, has marginal impact on the overall cost, and in other posts, it’s a substantial amount.
    Depending on the feedback received, and if I can get an indication on cost, the kitting may change e.g. moving a numpad into a child kit, or removing/adding support from Base to Extension and vice versa.

Renders:

Forgive the amateurish renders - I’m still trying to work through Blender // KRK2, and these are the stock models available. If you’re willing to part with some keyboard models, that I can utilise in Blender, hit me up on Discord (@BluntKrayon) - would love a Battleship model to render. Even better, if you have some tips and tricks that you could impart with me, that would be very much appreciated!

Ouuuu I can get behind this, I love me some TMNT

I like this! Honestly my only idea is pick a different name, maybe turtle power? I don’t know. Shellshocked just makes me think of WW1 vets with PTSD… Maybe just “shellshock” :man_shrugging:

The DCS set is named turtle power and takes a different approach, so probably not that name specifically.

It would be too expensive but an alert row in the accent colors would be perfect and would be a nod to their masks. Just spitballing.

My first thought on reading this was that this was an Assassin’s Creed reference :joy:

I love this. I’ve been a huge fan of TMNT since I was a kid watching the animated series in the 80’s. In the spirit of interest check, my only criticism is a personal preference – I would greatly prefer any other mod type than text. I hate text mods so much, lol.
