working on art stuff and went on a side tangent and tl;dr now you too can start on your colchisian lessons. if you can guess what this says correctly i'll draw magnus in an outfit, this is a cypher for english basically atm. im tempted to doodle serious thoughts on alphabets for different languages in 40k though

#inspired variously by faint memories of cuneiform and japanese calligraphy #also by me wanting to draw lorgar's tattoos up close-ish #lines #i picked cuneiform as an inspiration more or less out of a hat but i do think theres something fun about like cuneiform-type tattoos?#like flesh as clay and branding that clay and etc. idk #it was a subconscious choice but i think it's fun #now i'm looking at pics of ACTUAL cuneiform and augh it's way cooler #but whatever this is nerdshit it's allowed to be mediocre right #anyhow the strokes would be significantly more wedge shaped in a more 'archaic' style of colchisian script #which does imply im about to give lorgar sans serif tattoos but w/e #i ALMOST didnt do this and just madehis tattoos in elderscrolls daedric. holy fuck #would that be better or worse than my previous simlish lorem ipsum shortcut #lmk
