Elianscript

A place for the discussion and sharing of Elian works, both original and found elsewhere.

What is Elianscript? It’s an alternative writing system whose properties combine the linearity of spelling with the free-form nature of drawing.

It’s also kind of like a weak cipher, to those not in the know. Similar to a pigpen cipher, but instead of randomly jumbling the letters, we all agree to do it alphabetically. That way everyone IN the know, can read it.

Full instructions can be found here.

What about numbers? In this community we prefer to use Arabic numbers. Using other systems is fine so long as you post an explanation of how to translate them.

Is that some new type of loss?

Nope, it's Elianscript! A type of writing obfuscation that's highly artistic, and I just think it's neat 😅

I like it! I wonder how it would look if the N were hollow?

Hmmm, hard to say, I think I might like it better solid.

Though this way would be easier to add the dot for the third set 🤷‍♂️ more uniform with the rest

[–] Sunsofold 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, it being even all the way around seems a bit out of place, but the space for the dot would be important for a W.

Yes please I would like a writing system that looks like boobs thank you.
