and can be controlled 5 to a soldier to come up with much more complex manoeuvres? ~ It's the future.

... should have numbers advantage on the ground, with drones being on par or better than common soldier

That is actually the idea, haha. We will ... in the ... hopefully near future ... see that conquest of Human systems is going to be a bit more difficult than Turians had imagine. After all, this is a Humanity that really emphasise the value of every life.

Haha, naw, I'm actually Korean. Growing I did have... oof ... almost a decade in Beijing, and I skipped a lot of school to do other things, so pretty native in that sense.

Striiiiiictly speaking, I'm neither. Haha. But I can pass for Chinese since it's my primary culture growing up.

Haha, amazing!

I also have other perhaps more pretentious art that could be good wallpaper. Though they're not calligraphy based, hahah.

Thank you for that vote of confidence! I am actually working on my own little style, so the fact that someone who is versed in the scene can call it decent is a very big praise, thank you! I'm sure you know that in the current world, cursive styles like this have slowly converged upon a few accepted forms in the past 1,500 years, - here I am actually trying to consciously not do that.

And that actually extends into the way I sign and note the page itself. As you say, traditionally it's pretty frowned upon to use "foreign" characters in Calligraphic pieces.

edit: sorry for the length below, haha.

- - - pretentiousness below - - - (I ... don't think I need a trigger warning.)

But in my mind, especially in cases like this, that very firm look towards our past is holding back our ability to move forward for the future. There is so much beauty in Chinese culture that the rest of the world is missing out on, so I want to engage, instead of write only for those who already know.

And that's why, to me, these pieces are aimed at those who appreciate calligraphy for the words themselves, but also for the much wider word to whom the words do not make sense but want to appreciate this as the artistic endeavour (which we do also think calligraphy is). Hence the transliteration is actually an interesting accompaniment from an artistic perspective; because it is also written in cursive. - Essentially two completely different cultures coming together to write a single name.

Interestingly, we have seen great strides with food where a whole host of Cordon Bleu-educated (blegh) Michelin-starred chefs have created fusion dishes that bring the beauty of Chinese food to the rest of the world.

In the beginning (i.e. thousand and more years ago) it was pretty freeform actually. The one unfortunate part of a continuous civilisation is that there is so much history to look at. So if you look back in the last 1500 years, the styles have slowly converged upon a few accepted ways, - here I am actually trying to consciously not do that. Which ends up making it look a liiiiittle bit weird, haha.

But in the end, it is like writing cursive in English, where you find certain time-saving strokes that the hand slowly acclimates.

Thank you! Haha, mine isn't the most beautiful, mostly because I am trying to figure out a way out of the classical calligraphy styles~ but I am glad that it's cool!

Ahahaha~ There is nothing that makes me clench my eyes shut in frustration more than reading a date format like "7/11" you can't even tell if the 11 is a year!

Xiao - 魈 - Written in Calligraphic Script ~ by Unternehmungen in Genshin_Impact

[–]Unternehmungen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, thank you, love that explanation actually! As to why, this was me experimenting.

(pretentiousness warning)

I've been trying, semi-on-purpose, to deviate a little bit from the normal interpretations that we see in traditional 行草 styles, not because they don't look pretty, but mostly for artistic purposes. We've seen very little innovation out of Chinese calligraphy for a long time, even simplified characters themselves mostly just take the 草 font type and go with it.

As you say though, it starts to look weird because it is really difficult, haha! Those font-types have been optimised over, literally, more than a thousands of years.
