I'd suggest using a more dedicated webhost than dropbox. I've reloaded the page 3 times and each time a different one of those images times out (they load fine when viewed directly). Try imgur.

Or, y'know, you could just upload stuff to Safiria here! There's no real upload limit, and won't be unless things get really overcrowded or people start getting nefarious.

Works fine for me >_>

How?

How?

(a) You can attach stuff to pages; click the "files" link next to the "edit" link at the top.

(b) You can add things to the whole universe for stuff that doesn't really fit with one page but is used frequently; this is accessible from the universe's edit page.

I recently completed all the characters for the En Script, which is meant to be a descendant of a script originally designed by Matrix.
Sample:

I was going for a kind of ancient script feel with this one.

Hmm, I like it.
It's as if mommy Armenian and daddy Mongolian had a baby with a recessive Caucasian Albanian gene showing its face unexpectedly.

Wait a second! I was recently bestowed with a couple of nicer fountain pens. Time to put Mr. Waterman to the test!

Thanks.

I hope Matrix doesn't mind me including his image, but I evolved this script with three intermediate stages from this parent script.

Ah, fountain pens... Time to test the Amansard alphabet with them, yep. : )

If you can believe it, I derived this latinate-looking alphabetic script from katakana. The language is Ĩŋguri, my Japanese-influenced future English.

It says:
Jũtar zeẋukjuṫ tũtãẋ mi nuzaṫ, e reċõnơ!
[jɯ̃tˈaɾ ˈzeqʰɯkʲɯtʰ tɯ̃tˈãqʰ mi nɯzˈatʰ | e ˈɾecʰõnɤ]
j=2=ũto=not=arhave za=the=eẋukjuṫignorance t=to=ũto=not=ãẋfuck mi1.ACC n=in=za=the=aṫanus e1.NOM reċõnơdemand
You have no excuse to not fuck me in the ass, right now!

Interesting choice of sample text. I used to have a script that looked a lot like that, but it was heavily featural rather than derived from a natscript.

Unfortunately, even though I wrote the titles of several documents in it, I can't find the actual key for the damn thing.

...although now that I think about it, maybe this other (non-featural) alphabet would be closer:

I had a few scripts that were more similar than those, but I didn't write much (if anything) in them.

V'ëng in Ngmwragh script, which actually makes sense in-world, even though the script is very obviously not suited to the language. (Imagine trying to write Tibetan in katakana.)

There are mistakes either in the text or the transcription.

There is also the Kett script, which I have utterly failed at taking a picture of that can be processed into something that is not awful, because my good pen is gone.

This is the Ngmwragh script. It is not done yet.

Here's Nahakhontl:

serpentstrike_zpse317e9d2.png

There are lower and upper case letters, but they serve to distinguish word boundaries - all words start with an upper case letter. Sentences are separated by spaces.

This says:

Ôpex dur dér þelsan vé yoh čaþ glôžen doĥ hôga fôl žakír u saônal.
[oˈpɛx duɹ ˈdeɹ θɛlˈsan βe ˈjɔh t͡ʃaθ ˈglo.ʒɛn ˈdɔχ hoˈga fol ˈʒa.kiɹ ˈu saˈo.nal]

You have assumed the serpent struck directly when it has not.

This is an idiom used for admonishing someone who has assumed malicious intent for something gone wrong, when the cause is really incompetence or ignorance.

Here's another script directly based on the one I posted above:

So, uh. That plan to try working with my calligraphy pen... went a bit too far. I present: Kufic Lilitika.

...it's obviously not quite as cool as real Kufic, but I'm still working on that.

For the poster here.
