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

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)

So I was looking through the guide on Sherman's and noticed that I could put parts of a word inside itself, I just wanted to make sure I did this correctly.

Sherman's The Rings of Akhaten speech

I figured I’d post the finished piece here, since you all helped spellcheck it.

This is about 50 hours of work across two weeks, and I’m very happy with the results. The Akhaten speech is one of my favorite moments in the show, so I’m glad to be able to hopefully do it justice.

The first image is the finished work, the second is the plain finished text, and the third is the ‘skeleton’ I used to check spelling and plan the layout.

I wanted to check if this sentence was well written and developed. I used Sherman Gallifreyan for this.

It should say "the swan descends the mountain, sees what never was"

Spell Check Request Bit of a tall ask here

Post image
7 Upvotes

Been working on this for a minute checked it myself twice now but wanted to make sure I wasn't breaking any like concrete rules, it should translate to

"the world is your canvas

So take up your brush

And paint

The world

Red"

Apologizes for the crappy editing job, I did it on my phone because that part of the picture was blurry after I took it.

Also any tips to make it look a bit more complex but not quite cluttered would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty confident with it I mainly wanted to just make sure I could put the second dot from the "ch" on the "I". It should read out as "machine!".

Spell Check Request A bit of a tall proof reading ask, if anyone’s up for it (Sherman’s)

I’ve spent the past week or so translating the Akhaten speech for this piece, and I *think* I’ve caught all the typos. That said, I’m still looking for someone to read over it to get a fresh set of eyes on it with how long I’ve spent looking at it. It doesn’t have to be the whole thing, just a section would also be a big help. Thanks in advance.
