Hi David! Iâm 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 [noËÉŸa] in Casti/Irathi?
My YouTube channel is still active, I just havenât put out a video in a while. I have one recorded, just havenât 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 weekâdespite the fact that I literally said thatâs what I would be doing. I definitely did not anticipate how difficult it was going to be to put these videos togetherâand they donât even look 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, Iâm just not sure the best way to do it. Part of it simply has to be a top view of me sketching on paper, and Iâm not really set up to do that. I canât do it with a pad that plugs into the computer; Iâve tried, and I just canât get the same effect. I have to do it by hand, and then after that, I switch to the font editor, where itâs 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 isnât perfect. Iâm 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 Iâll have to figure out how. It wonât be soon.
As for your name, here you go! Here it is in Castithan:
And here it is in Irathient:
