Star Army

Commission work. Characters to roleplay game “Star Army”.  ٩(◕‿◕)۶

Gee, writing in a different language for a fictional species sure is difficult!

In the end, make this logo for one of the plots I run on Star Army. The image below was my first draft of it. After some thought, I realised it was, well, perhaps a little too flowery - looks more like an ancient scripture instead what’s printed to the side of a ship to identify it - too complicated to read in passing when you’re flying by. (The cluster of four dots was acceptable, perhaps as punctuation)

Then at work today I decided to write a little more to see what else I could do with a fictional language with a range of consonant vowels, 12 harsh sounds, 8 vowels, and concrete symbol for ‘shame’ that’s easy to spot because it incorporates something uncommon to the rest of the glyphs I doodled.

I was told that the language for the species I was writing was supposed to resemble Korean meeting Russian and going right to left.

Linguistics isn’t my strong suit! All I know about Russian is that ‘TOMKAT’ are exactly what they look and sound like in the language, while I know squat about Korean. I was told to go nuts and see what happened, and we’ll figure out how to get this language properly set up at a later date.
