It’s been a long journey but we’re finally here! Thank you all for the support and critiques - you helped me a lot guys!
Below are posted all the new renders and the new kits. Beside that, I worked on a website about the projects I’m working on: raz.works and started a Discord server.
If you’re Italian, there’s this Discord server where I practically developed the whole set with the help of the Italian community.
I’m going to setup the Geekhack GB post with all the fuzz soon!

Hello Geekhack Community!
I am Raz, a web designer from Italy and I would like to present you my first keycap set project!
Quarantine here in Italy gave me the opportunity to develop some ideas that I had been dragging for some time.
I partnered up with my friend and designer Johnnymalandraand came up with the idea of GMK Avanguardia:
I chose an italian word that, as you can guess corresponds to “Avant-guard” or “Vanguard”,
referring to all those extreme, daring and innovative artists with a futuristic sight capable of anticipating their times.
I have seen that sets featuring themes related to modern pop culture have always been appreciated, so I thought, why not pay respect to a great artist who influenced it the most in shapes and colors.
More than content, this set draws its inspiration from Kandinsky’s words:
“Art goes beyond the limits in which time would like to compress it, and indicates the content in the future”
The Color Palette

We especially referred to Vasilij Vasil’evič Kandinskij and
this painting to get the inspiration for the novelties:

We wanted to give our concept a more personal interpretation by using a palette oriented towards the tech world and so the result is down here!
I would like to thank all my friends from the ClickyClackClubItalian community for the support they showed me and Johnnymalandra for the awesome artworks!

UPDATES

  • Updated the 40s kit leaving out the 1.75 spacebar support and adding magenta 1u Esc and Enter keys
  • Updated the spacebar kit dropping the 1.75 spacebar support

June 9

  • We have a canadian proxy! Thank you Deskhero!
  • We have an asian proxy! Thank you iLumkb!
  • Edited 40s and Spacebars | The 40s now have 2x2u and 2x1.75u spacebars
  • Proposing an Alternate set with dark number row and additional tab. With this one plus the base you would fill two keyboards. I am testing this up and getting feedbacks on the IC Form. This is the kit:

COLORS
I read a lot of concerns about color contrast and Violet Tendencies similarities.
I’ve uploaded an imgur album with some renders of Violet Tendencies mods and my alphas/mods in different light conditions:
imgur album with contrasts and gmk tendencies mods
TLDR:

I made this render cause people is concerned about GMK Avanguardia sharing the same GMK Nightshade’s palette. In this image you can check GMK colors CR, N9 and NY:
