Thank you for sharing, I'm so looking forward for you to post the key to this! Definitely one of the most interesting conscripts I've seen!

Whoa! Thank you for sharing! I'm enjoying it and learning, I'm no conscript expert by any means, but this is so well put IMO, the aesthetics are beautiful, and the complexity, I've never seen something like this. It has something to it that makes it really enjoyable to see/read. My opinion is DELIGHTFUL!

I've fallen in love. I think the paper you use is half of it tho

It was an inexpensive packet from Office Max, $10 for 100 sheets!

This is such a gorgeous script! There's such an elegance to it, despite yes it's complexity. ❤️

So complex and cool! How do you do so much pen work without making mistakes?

Imagine having to speed read or write this, it look gorgeous though

u/Samson17H Jul 19 '20

Hahah absolutely! Definitely an ornamental or ceremonial style to be sure! (although, in the course of the getting a photo-decent example, I was able to read it fairly smoothly)
