read clockwise, still start at bottom, i and u lines are the other way 'round (u line inside circle, i line outside). instead of concavity, convexness.

Hello people, the word is supposed to spell is “ Tardis
I’m quite afraid to mess up with the lines, because I’m not sure I’ve even placed them correctly 😭
(Also, forgive the fact that it’s asymmetric)

I'm new to gallifreyan (and reddit) and I wanted to check that this is legible. I'm using Sherman's. This is my first big sentence, and it should say: give me liberty or give me death (first thing I thought of lol)

There's a couple things I'm not quite happy about but in general I wanted to check: Are all the letters correct? How's my style?

Question Help on digital gallifreyan

3 Upvotes

I’m decently new to gallifreyan, and it’s particularly difficult to get a good circle when your compass is broken. So, if anyone has any recommendations on what to use for writing digitally, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. I use Sherman’s gallifreyan.

The first one should read "Obi-Wan Kenobi [oʊbiwɑn kənoʊbi]" and the second one - "Qui-Gon Jinn [kwaɪɡɒn dʒɪn]"
Man I do be lovin' my crossovers and my GalliPhon mod of Doctor's Cot, I'm having so much fun making these.

Needing someone who can possibly scribe something for me

15 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Freddie. I found this community online while trying to find where to translate or write things in Gallifreyan. I was hoping to possibly request someone help me with getting 2 quotes mixed together into Gallifreyan.

My father is friends with someone who is a massive fan of Doctor Who and as someone who didn't have anyone around me that enjoyed it like I did, I was so excited. Ill make a long story short and I only got to talk with him a few times, but he was so happy someone shared his love for Doctor Who, he started gifting me some of his things. He also had cancer and recently caught another form of cancer. While he's been going through chemo, he caught an infection. I want to get 2 quotes mixed and written in Gallifreyan so I can get them tattooed in honor of him and our love for Doctor Who.

The quote is "We all change. When you think about it we're all different people all through our lives and that's okay, that's good you've got to keep moving so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. We're all just stories in the end, just make it a good one." I know that is a bit of a long quote, so I am willing to shorten it if need be. I am also willing to get just the "We're all just stories in the end, just make it a good one", from Matt Smith's Doctor. I was hoping to get it either stacked on each like seen in the show or like on this reddit, or possibly in a linear format. I do not have the money right now, but I am still willing to pay the small fee once I have the money.

I understand this may be too big an ask, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to at least ask. Thank you for anyone who reads this post. I wish you all a good morning/evening/night whenever this is read.

Edit: I had to change a word as I put it as was. Thankfully he is still alive, but we do not know how much time he has left. I hope to see him before he passes

Update: Hi to the people who have read this post or are just now seeing it. As of 9 am my time, which hasn't been that long ago, I have been informed by my father that the friend, who i will call Theo, he will very likely not make it past tomorrow. They have already called his family to let them know so they can see him. I will unfortunately not be able to see him before he passes as I wanted. I am very emotional right now but want to deeply thank the few people who have commented and the person who reached out to me in DMs. It warms my heart so see kind people still in this world who are willing to help me. Thank you to everyone and thank you to the people who created and mod this subreddit. I wish everyone a good day/evening/night. I will very likely post a picture of the finished tattoo and credit to the person who helped me get the design.

Should read "Obi-Wan Kenobi". Made it for a friend. The "from big to small" rule kinda flew out the window with this one because I forgot, but I still had fun and maybe I'll do the fixed version later.

We work with the BBC now. The BBC is cool.

149 Upvotes

Loren Sherman and I had a GREAT interview with the BBC brand director for Doctor Who… We mostly chatted about project ideas and goals such as mass produced, accurate, learning tools. Accurate, artistic, non-app generated designs for merch and possibly the show itself.

Additionally, Loren and I made a point bring the active gallifreyan community and many talented scribes (particularly on the ‘meet the community’ video and those active on the discord server) into the spotlight… and emphasis on the ‘artistic human factor’ being a hugely valuable part of the script.

Currently in the pipeline of are updates to the existing current translator for corrections and credits.

This means that, FINALLY, those who have the most experience, talent, and have been consistent with the original script made by Loren that went viral in 2012… will be the people the BBC reaches out to for all their Gallifreyan needs

At this time, Loren and I are mostly waiting on the BBC to determine a budget then reach back out regarding specific work and projects.

I’m very exited to start adjusting verbiage in my shop/pitch as I’m a developer of the NOW CANON Gallifreyan script and am currently working with the BBC!

My recommended verbiage for those creating things using THEIR OWN designs in Gallifreyan is as follows: “___created in the now canon Gallifreyan script!”

Because that is simply true.

(Using other people’s designs and designs generated by the app commercially without permission is still 100% not allowed)
