EliAlibi Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah. Getting a lot of conflicting advice about the "I"s lately. Make them as wide as the others, then they are too wide... It's my 1st book, just trying to keep working on something every day. Thought the wood grain ended up kinda cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeyedanimal Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I like the wood grain idea, but your letters are illegible. Make letter that look like letters, and do the same fill within the letters. All i see in that is blocks, it shouldn't take too much effort to distinguish the letters.

It's my 1st book, just trying to keep working on something every day. Thought the wood grain ended up kinda cool. well then do an upper case I, they do look like O's I do like that wood + hammer idea though, keep it up, your on the right track, just define your letters a bit more. maybe space your letters out evenly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliAlibi Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 thanks guys. not used to people being so helpful round here.:) thinking about changing the name entirely. the L and the I are just boring to me. too bottom-heavy or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris The Blade Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I mean, i found the letter cause they technically make sense, it was just tough. Like RedEye said, just make them Keyboard simps in the wooden style, and it would looks really good. Not all letters can be the same size, width wise, and that's just the way it is. M's will ALWAYS be wider than other letters, I's always thinner. It's just typography, and the more you sketch, the more you'll find that out!

redeyedanimal Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 exactly, it's not about keepint the width of the letters the same, it's about keeping the width of the bars that make the letters the same. The letters will naturally end up different widths, just worry about keepin the bars consistent and everything else will fall into place with practice. *edit - i'm not used to people accepting crits without flippin shit around here... props.

shaken20 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 kele, i think the bottom of the L should connect furth up on the left bar. know what i mean? and maybe with the 2 same E idea, try to rock a lower-case E in one of them for a swap of style. an almost wildstyle look? just some thoughts :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my 1st book, just trying to keep working on something every day. Thought the wood grain ended up kinda cool. Word, good to see your soaking up those wise words of wisdom. Simples, simples, simples, haha, keep it up and you'll go far. Now i think you may have just misinterpreted what i said, if you were even listening to me in the first place, if so kudos, so now what was i saying......................oh yeah, I DID say make all the letters OVERALL the same width, BUT, I did say that you should make the bars the same size too, so thats a bit of conflicting information, obvcourse it doesn't work for all letters as you found out lowercase "i"'s end up like block "o"'s. but that's just something you understand with experience, so there, i may have just tought you a life lesson! :P Peace dude.

InfraRed Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Definitely better handstyles; I like that Shaman that eats souls? I think Medicine Man is a more broadly used term, refering to anyone who specializes in physical/mental health in a small community/tribal setting. This includes shamans, but most shamans aren't known to eat souls. Is eating souls a good thing or a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicine man was more a term that was given to native american healers by the english language. Most of them were called Shamans. And were more of a spiritual communicator if anything.
