Groupbuy is completed. - Click here for the latest info.
Hello all,
Today I’d like to introduce you to a project that I’ve been gradually working on for the past year or so:
GMK Darling
Inspired by the character Zero Two from Darling in the Franxx, GMK Darling aims to bring her aesthetics straight to your keyboard
It’s taken a long while to get the colors dialed in, but they are quite close to – if not in – their final iteration now as far as I can take them with renders.
Hiragana sublegends may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the use of icon mods hopefully prevents the set from becoming overcrowded.

Updated 01/14/20:
Deskmats and RAMA X DARLING!

Groupbuy January 27th 2020 to Febuary 27th, 2020!
Pricing information is available further down the thread.
Also, there’s a new IC form which reflects the new changes!
Colorway
Updated 4/29/19: 7422C is now the alpha color as opposed to 691C, which was too grey.
GMK Darling utilizes three custom colors:
RAL 3020 as the alpha text color; a vivid red reminiscent of Zero Two’s horns
Pantone 7422C; a pastel-pale pink which reflects Zero Two’s hair color, used for the alpha cap color and the legend color on the mods.
RAL 3003 as the mod cap color; a darker red similar to Zero Two’s dress uniform and darker parts of her flight suit
GMK WS1 for the white accents

Hey the sun finally came out! Here’s 7422C. Color balance/temperature for this picture is considerably better than the last one.
I do have some concern as to color matching and am unsure how GMK would handle dealing with both RAL and Pantone colors.
However, the RAL light pink (3015) was simply not light enough for this project.
