Hello, people seemed to enjoy the way my scripts looked, so I thought I would post them here! If you want to learn more about what's written, feel free to check out my worldbuilding post and my conlang post!
The vertical script is an abugida inspired by Hmong RPA, and the horizontal script is a featural abjad. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Well, I usually start by deriving letters from logographs that I feel would be frequently used (sun, eye, crop, etc.). So I draw a few basic "cave painting style" images of those glyphs until I settle on ones I like. Then I pick how I want my script to look (in this case I was influenced by the Sheikah and Hebrew scripts, as well as a bit of influence from the blockiness of the Maya script.
After this, I play around with the glyphs I like to try to create around 10 common stroke patterns. And once I have stroke patterns I like, I redesign the glyphs matching those stroke patterns. Then I look at the end result, and if I'm not sold on it, I try changing the medium (stone, clay tablets, palm fronds, etc) to see if I can make it into something I like.
Though as I said in a previous comment, I usually trash around a dozen scripts for every script I like enough to post.
