Hey there,
I have rethought my purple and orange set,
and I want to give it a bit of distance from the original
idea in another interest check here so that it can have its
own place to live and grow. The vision for this one is a lot
more locked in than the previous thought.
This set is
based off of the classic video game character Spyro the
Dragon. I remember as a kid always wanting to play Spyro on
my mom’s friend’s PS1 because I thought there was nothing
cooler than gliding around as a freaking purple dragon with
an attitude. This set aims to bring the same attitude to the
table.
The alphas are purple to represent the beloved
character’s purple scales while the modifiers are a vibrant
orange for two reasons. Spyro the Dragon on PS1’s cover art
features a gorgeous orange in fire underlining Spyro’s name,
and in the final installment of Spyro (Dawn of the Dragon)
his wings were a beautiful orange. The bonus enter and
escape keys are there to represent Spyro’s best friend and
dragonfly, Sparx.
The highly contrasting colors should
offer easy readability on the legends, and can make for some
striking novelties once I have them designed.
I was
conscious when designing this set to use GMK stock colors
(orange - V2, purple - DY, yellow - CV) to keep costs down
and create a more predictable outcome with the colors. Yes,
this set is loud, but I would say that it matches the
character it’s designed after and is completely unique as
far as I know.

Here it is, the final GMK
render of the locked in set. Quick disclaimer:
This final render still had the handbag caps lock on the
R4 1.25u caps lock. I went ahead and did a rough Photoshop
job to change this to a text legend instead, so that’s why
the color doesn’t look as pretty on that one cap as does
the rest of the render.
Also, I am in contact with a vendor, and will be
working with that vendor in terms of next steps.

UPDATE FOR THE CAPS LOCK KEY.
The purse is out. I will be using “Caps Lock” instead based
on feedback I’ve received on this thread and looking at the
general sentiment towards it from the community at large.
Also, that’s where Control belongs anyway, so I won’t even
see my beloved purse if I had left it in.
Also. After
that legend change, THIS SET WILL BE LOCKED.
The new GMK render isn’t reflective of that change
yet, and I will let them know that is the final piece that
is changing. Everything else is accurate in the updated
render though. Enjoy the pretty picture.
UPDATED 2/26/2019
Should have something cool for
you all in the coming weeks. Meantime, I’m continuing to
contact vendors.
Also, MOQ… That’s an important acronym
when dealing with niche kits. Therefore, say goodbye to
small kits. Say hello to MONSTER kit. Should be final form
unless there is a super compelling reason for it not to
be.
UPDATED 2/25/2019
I have updated the keys
included in the set as well as split it into kits to
hopefully make this more affordable for most people as they
only buy the keys that they need. Was inspired by how
Zambumon is doing Jamón as well as how modular SA kits
typically are.
