#gothic calligraphy

[unityrain24]

So! I wanted to see if i could write in Japanese in a gothic-calligraphy-like hand.

(forgive the orange highlighter, it was the only chisel-tip writing ustensil on the entire floor)

epic reading below:

originally, this seemed like a challenge, for a few reasons:

English is very simple, so you are able to embellish a lot. Japanese is not, so you can't really embellish/if you do, they could be confused for other strokes and therefore other kanji.

Japanese has plenty of diagonal strokes, while English does not. And with the technique used in this sort of calligraphy, you can't really make them look very interesting.

And above all, In the english logo of Attack on Titan, they use a really cool gothic-like font, so i was interested to see how they did the Japanese logo, but it wasnt similar at all (not very interesting in its own sense either). Which made it seem like it's just not possible. Which made it more of a challenge. (also note that i have never watched or read aot):

Now, Japanese and English are two entirely different languages. Even just written in the blandest, most boring font with a ballpoint pen, they give off completely different vibes, aesthetically.

Typical/Traditional calligraphy for each also give off different vibes, though there are similarities:

However, some fonts/lettering/calligraphy can look pretty similar when effort is put in:

So, i decided to finally try it out for real today and totally not avoid my English assignment rather than simply attempting to doodle a word here or there half-heartedly.

also, i did do some embellishments, which may make it hard to read if you actually know Japanese, but it does that in English too so lol. I did refrain from doing too many, though.

So, to compare the Japanese to the English in the gothic font side by side, it'd look like this:

(i edited the colouring bc orange highlighter is just way to hard to read). Now, the Japanese is pretty unreadable compared to the English, but I figured that was in-part due to the English having space and lower+upper case, so i did another English version where everything is capitalized:

(i ran out of room and had to tape a second paper to it haha). But as you can see, pretty hard to read to (and it would be even harder without the spaces).

So Anyways, do you think the gothic Japanese gives off similar vibes to the English gothic?? how'd i do?

Fuck me gold leaf is a pain in the ass. We'll get there eventually and it'll be worth it for the shiny

The leaves were pretty fun to paint though I can't lie. Definitely need to incorporate more of those into my gothic work

hysterical to me how crowley and aziraphale are trying so hard to woo each other this whole season but only in their own love languages so it doesn't work at all

#good omens #good omens 2 #it's ineffable #good omens s2 #aziraphale 'while we dance' this means NOTHING to jane-austen-criminal-mastermind disco boy #crowley does slightly better bc he praises aziraphale occasionally but still needs work. #put on ur black regency outfit and write a note in gothic calligraphy
