Hi David! Iām quite new to conlanging and just picked up your book yesterday. I was wondering if your YouTube Chanel is still active? Also I really SUCK at creating scripts and I truly LOVE your Castithan and Irathient scripts. So, I was wondering if you would consider making a video tutorial or step by step guide on how to go about making a script? I would love to see you create a script in a video, It would help so much! Thanks in advance! Also could you write [noĖɾa] in Casti/Irathi?
My YouTube channel is still active, I just havenāt put out a video in a while. I have one recorded, just havenāt added slides, etc. to it. Doing so now. Just got a ton of other things to do. Also, remember that I intended my channel to be a resource, not a show, if you follow my meaning. As it gets more complete, it becomes a better resource, but I never really intended for people to, like, tune in every weekādespite the fact that I literallyĀ said thatās what I would be doing. I definitely did not anticipate how difficult it was going to be to put these videos togetherāand they donāt even lookĀ very professional. All these people with their incredible YouTube/video skills, I envy them. They do good work.
I would love to do a video on creating a script, Iām just not sure the best way to do it. Part of it simply hasĀ to be a top view of me sketching on paper, and Iām not really set up to do that. I canāt do it with a pad that plugs into the computer; Iāve tried, and I just canāt get the same effect. I have to do it by hand, and then after that, I switch to the font editor, where itās all just tweaking and math. The reason the glyphs in my fonts look good are because the points are all strictly defined, as are the curves, and I stick with them until they look the way I want. It takes a long time. And sometimes the result still isnāt perfect. Iām not 100% satisfied with some of the execution of some of the Irathient glyphs, for example. I definitely want to do a video on it, but Iāll have to figure out how. It wonāt be soon.
As for your name, here you go! Here it is in Castithan:
And here it is in Irathient:
