GMK Orange Boi is co-designed by me and Typo.mk. This set is inspired by orange kitties everywhere (including my own orange boi Richard). One of the goals of this set is to raise money for cats in need! If GMK Orange Boi makes it through group buy successfully, a portion of designer profits will be donated to The Odd Cat Sanctuary, a feline rescue organization that was started to help kittens and cats (as well as an occasional dog) with "challenges" or that have been neglected. Check out their website to learn more and to admire all of the adorable kitties that they’ve rescued!
To follow GMK Orange Boi on social media, follow us on Instagram (Ty, me), and feel free to join my Discord server.

BOARD RENDERSKeep in mind that slight color differences in board renders can be caused by differences in lighting - the lighting in which we are looking at the IRL color references, as well as the lighting used in the render environments.

VENDORS
Group buy starts March 1, 2022 at the following vendors (will update with direct shop links as they go live):

Obviously GMK lead times are not ideal right now but we are sticking with GMK for this set for a few reasons:
- Crispness and clarity of doubleshot legends since the colors used in this set don't have a TON of inherent contrast
- Strong desire for cherry profile
- Since we ruled out dye sub, we'd need UV printed novelties for maximum cuteness!
The estimated ship date from GMK is Q1 2023, though it's possible that Q2/Q3 2023 is more realistic.
