Art Shareπ¨
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).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content 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 or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
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.
Holy shit you got a harsh audience
It's pretty
Thank you π
I actually appreciate the 'harsh' audience, for constructive criticism, and some comments here have given good useful advice where I should try to place my focus to make letters more easy to distinguish. But I don't consider hardly any of the comments as particularly 'harsh', more like just trying to be constructive.
While I'm definitely gonna keep all the constructive advice I've been given in mind, I'm still gonna mostly stick close to the cursive writing I learned long ago, just maybe with a little better emphasis on certain letters wherever I can.

This fella crunching the hourly figure, and you're right π
The one I posted was more of a practice piece to get back into the hang of it, this one for free, because she did us a good solid favor, plus I'm pretty sure she'll at least try to share my work and try to get me some more business..
This is a weirdly specific coincidence because Courtney was the first name I ever bent a metal wire into. I love that name and I love how it looks in cursive.
Next you should do "minimum"
After that, you should do antidisestablishmentarianism.
That's gonna take at least 4 coathangers homie, and I don't have a welding machine..
At minimum they should do minimum once
cowitney is a baller name... (I kid, must have been murder to bend this up, have used same material for sculpture armatures and it's cheap but strong)
and when they get older they can heat them up and use them to brand their mates and/or cattle.
Hmm, that's pretty cool. I think you could drastically speed up the process by superheating the metal somehow (blowtorch or something?)
Interesting that you were able to balance it from the 't' like that. Do you mind sharing how you did that?
I could see these also becoming popular for people to watch if you were interested in video production as well.
The balance was sort of a last minute idea, totally cold metal work.
Once I was basically done with the overall curve shape, I figured the tip of the T would be the best balance point, but the left side hang a little lower.
So, I ever so slightly compressed the left side and stretched the right side, until it balanced out. Just a little fudging on the kerning, until it balanced where I wanted...
It's a very cool and unique idea. Don't let haters get you down. But squeeze the vertical bar of the 't' together above the crossbar, for God's sake. I just can't with young people these days, half-arsing their way through life, I dunno ... !

It's very difficult to fully fold the lowercase T in like that, hell I want to as well..
I mean like it's not impossible, but I also think to myself, like if you had to cross the T while you're writing a word, rather than after you're done as conventional, then how would your single solid stroke go?..
Thanks for criticizing my T's actually, I was wondering when someone would...
Cool! You inspired me to try something like that. I'm gonna try a slanted cursive modelled from my own writing.
Might need to reevaluate pricing. I certainly wouldn't do that for $16 an hour.
If people won't pay more, then it might not be feasible.
Criticize me as necessary, my cursive is still slightly rusty..
That's why I use plastic hangers
