I began this font on the 4th, worked a couple hours on it then, and worked a couple hours on it tonight. This font was made by using my own handwriting, scanning it, greyscaling it, cutting each letter and symbol into it's own image and importing 1 character at a time to a glyph in an evaluation version of Font Creator Program 4.
Thanks Racheal... I've been thinking of doing more fonts since they get alot of views and downloads even if they are crappy. I like the thought of lots of people being exposed to my work, especially since most of my deviations are poems, and I'm lucky if I get 7 views by the end of a week, let alone a comment, and hell forget about a +fav. But that also makes a lone comment from a random user that much more special. I understand how it is... every once in a while I'll read some random poems... and I'm lucky if I like any of the first 10 I read, let alone find something to comment on, or even find the courage to read the entire thing before I get distracted from the dullness and inability to write a coherant sentance.
I suppose I shouldn't be insulting my fellow writers, especially in a comment on one of my own fonts. But most people just don't quiet understand quiet what it takes to write something that is truely emotionally driven. Or maybe I just don't understand the magnitude of a short poem written about a dead family dog that died in a tradgic weed whacker incident...
thats awesome that you can do that, i am so way jealous...how long did it take you to do that? I want my handwriting on my computer that would be tight.
It was about 4 hoursof total work on it, but that also includes the time I spent learning to do it. It's really not that hard, it's just very repeatative since you have to do one letter at a time... 26 capitals... 26 lowercase... 30-some symbols...
