worked on my conlang a lot today :] lost track of time a little bit .. i got around to drawing the base of sll the glyphs so now i just need 2 make all the variants for them

#i already finished 1... so 17 more to go lol #and by 17 i mean. 17*18. since there are 9 vowels + the up and down variations #if snybody is curious its a syllabary. rather than an alphabet.. it does sort of work similarly to an alphabet tho so idk if it counts as a #like. True syllabary #but basically there are CV syllables and VC syllables #its written on a line and CV syllables go above the linr and VC syllables go below the line #and each consonant has like a base glyph and then there are 9 vowels. which are umm #the way im representing the vowels is with 1-3 lines either perfectly horizontal tilted up or tilted down #grouped together on the base consonant.#that doesnt rly make sense i cn upload image 2 explain if anybody wants...#i havent actually decided which glyph represents which sounds yet LMAO. im juet working on getting them done so i cn decide based on how #they look ...and once i actually have them done then ill need t umm. go through and just write them a bunch #to simplify them. since famously writing tends to get simplified over time ...#ill have t rly work out the language first. ITS ALSO COMPLICATED BC. so rhe way language is in my pretend world #is the like. well they srent rly human. but the people in the world couldnt talk before they were taught by the gods #so all languages have a shared like..root language. obv it changes and brandhes out over time which gives me an exciting opportunity to do #lots and lots of languages without having to come up with new roots ... this is rly fun TO ME.#the thang with it tho is that idt they learned how to write immedistely after they learned speech.. i rhjnk that mightve come later #so the syllabary im working on rn is rly just the likee. semi modern WRITTEN form of the original language .. not rly modern its still #likee. ancient #AAAA this reminds me i wanna make a calendar system....#ill have t work on that as well. i wish i had that one expensive ass game that lrts u likee. fuck around with le solar system #2 see the effect it has on yr planet... bc mine has 2 moons #that r on opposite sides of the earth at all times #they arent fr moons theyre the creation gods you see. but they appear as moons #i also need to flesh out more of the gods.. bc it won't judt be the freation gods there will be a pantheon #but im thinking abt it a lot bc likee. so the creation gods Are the moons you know. so for the other ones i cant decide if theyre moons of #other planets or if they just Are the planets... OR if theyre just floating about out there yk. i suppose rly they could be whatever they #want. yk.. and obviously they all have nultiple forms likeee. yk...#also maybe the creation gods arent themselves the moons maybe they just live there Much 2 think about.
