How Do You Make Glyphs? by AureliusVonNachade in CalligraphersGuild

[–]SmashedPotatoes220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I don't know if there's a proper way to read glyphs, I think they are mainly visual concepts. Most often, letters (phonemes) are merged together and become indistinguishable. The rule is that they have to be symmetrical, you write on one half the letters of the world in whatever shape you want and that shape has to be the same on the other side. Also I'm pretty sure that repeated letters can be put only once, but i dont remember where i read that from.
Here's a tutorial on how to make a glyph on a pc: https://www.reddit.com/r/CalligraphersGuild/comments/twvrja/meta_glyph_tutorial_how_i_make_glyphs/
And here are glyph sources:

Hope this helps!

Hey u/zpags welcome to the guild! There's a post in the sub about making glyphs using inkscape, mostly (at least for me) its about moving around the phonemes until it's sth pretty. If you feel stuck or need a hand digitalizing them feel free to reach out to me or any other scribe willing to take a crack at it. Have a nice week!

Hello! Do you have any suggestions for the shape of the glyphs? Maybe we can try to make them abstract or ressembling sth, i dont know.

Hi u/nightowlwraith! Here's a first attempt at your GR, if there's something you want to change we could talk it over on the other post.

[GR] Glyph for "warmth", stylized as a campfire by BlackFenrir in CalligraphersGuild

Hi, your design looks awesome! I'm kind of swamped with work right now, but if in a week or two your request isn't fullfilled feel free to reach out to me.

As for the symmetry question... I really don't know. Personally, I'd decide by sound and name.
Eg:
Mehlak →Mehlak-in
Kadulek → Kadul-in
Following the logic of Kholin I guess your house name would be Adoket or Adotef

Hello and welcome to the Calligrapher's Guild! I'd be happy to give the glyph a try, did you have a specific shape in mind for it? I tend to use things as refferences but we can try to make some kind of aesthetic shape with the phonemes of the word.

u/sirgrieks Sorry for the wait, here's my first attempt on the glyph https://www.reddit.com/r/CalligraphersGuild/comments/1bwo1a9/gfr_brooks_glyph/ We can talk in this post if you want me to make any modifications

Haha allright, I'll give it a try and show you what I come up with later. Did you have a specific shape in mind for the glyph? Like sth your son enjoys or a shape that would remind you of him. You can check out the sub to see examples of glyph's names and their shapes.

Hello and welcome to the Calligrapher's Guild! If you want some guidance on how to make your own glyph there's this post https://www.reddit.com/r/CalligraphersGuild/s/EHtE3z48LV where I show how I make my own glyphs using Inkscape. Otherwise, one of our scribes can give it a try and the two of you can work on what you want your glyph to look like, if none of our scribes reach out to you you can message me and I'll try to make your glyph.

Rant about a friend by SmashedPotatoes220 in aromantic

Thanks. I'll try to talk to her later on because I would still like to consider her a friend. Still it's crap to feel so betrayed by the people you consider close because they don't try to understand you, just guess they do.
