This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

About 1.5-2 hours of reading if you like that kind of thing - or just skim the pics if you like.
I read Beowulf and thought I could do better. I guess I probably didn't but I gave it a shot and I'm pretty proud of a few things in there. I'd like to record it in a sing-songy way someday...
Holy shit that's some incredible work. I'll also join the other guy in giving your work the proper treatment when I'm not on mobile.
Thanks! Sounds like it's just your personal preference but feel free to let me know if there is something I've done specifically that makes mobile viewing undesirable.
I did try to make it accessible on various screensizes with short segments but I'm sure I could probably make it more approachable. I expect more people might view it as a video but I've struggled to get my performance as intended - maybe I'll try that again soon.
On my iOS Device with Firefox the "tabp to latinize" function either does not work or I'm to stupid to understand where to tab. Taping the text did not work for me
Hm, I don't have a iOS device to try it on, but you should be able to tap the text itself. I'll try investigate further somehow.
Otherwise you should be able to use Firefox reader mode with the webpage as well. And if all else fails, I've uploaded a pdf version to the git repo here, I'll try make it easier to get to as well.
Thanks for taking an interest and letting me know, I might change how I do that font stuff for less friction.
I'm severely impressed with what you've done here, both artistically and poetically. What an epic project!
Did you invent the alien script as well? It appears to be a letter-by-letter substitution of the English text, so technically quite learnable :)
I've only read a few sections into it, but I've enjoyed what I've seen, so I'm going to come back and give it a little time when I have some. I'd love a pdf/epub etc for an e-reader (or a paper copy!), though it might be hard to get the image/text flow right - and I imagine quite some effort to rearrange the html document into a page-turning format.
The font is simply Elian script. Luckily this nice person made it a font so I didn't have to do so.
I do have a pdf and epub version which I made a generator for from the html. My EPUB gen is a bit sus and I haven't got it working right yet but I've pushed the pdf to the main git repo here. Good idea, will try improve them and I should add a link to them from the page itself.
You should make a weird sci-fi manga
Not a reaction I expected lmao
Any recommendations?
I'm not very familiar with manga, what would be the main differentiator between this and one of those? Less words more drawings?
Yeah pretty much. One of the weirder ones I can think of that was good was blame!
Holy moly! I'll save this for later for sure. Beautiful art direction is what I can see now.
Thankyou! I tried to make it the kind of thing that's consumable in one afternoon, but I did also try to chunk it up and make it navigable for shorter reading sessions too.
If you think I could make it more approachable somehow, feel free to let me know. I have mind of an audio version but want it in a certain way that I'm not yet skilled enough to achieve.
My exclamation was less of "this is huge" and more of "wow, this took serious dedication!" It's clearly a labor of love, and it shows.
