Introducing KAT Autumn
During the whole quarantine period, after settling GMK Bread, I logged in to Maplestory and wanted to take a break. But something about the colour way stuck with me, perhaps because I was looking at Handarbeit, and wanted to do something yellow/orange/red. At that point, I was also watching Chuggaaconroy play through Super Mario Galaxy 2, largely leaving it in the background while I did my work or played video games. There was the one mission with the Bird racing, and so, some renders and colour matching later, here’s what we got.
Why Birds
So I’ve been getting a ton of questions of why all the bird motifs this autumn themed set. Well, to be honest, when I first came up with the concept for this set, it generally centred around the birds as the main character in the novelties. I later chose the name autumn after including the rest of the novelties and figuring out the colourway.
Then, why autumn? In my head, when I think about autumn, I have something like this image in my head (apologies, it’s a stock image)

Hence, birbs.
Colourway
I’m working on getting physical samples now for the set, already placed an order for the chips with Keyreative so I’m waiting for that. And while the lighting on the renders are a tad off, I’m looking for something darker like those shown in the kits.
