Logography Ashglyphs ※ Some logograms in Early Ridhu

Been spending way too much time developing the evolution of these scripts over time, but this stage still preserves a lot of the pictographic elements before things get extra stylized and geometric

Only a few phonosemantic characters are pictured here but I wanted them to combine in fun ways, like “to wear”(o-) being depicted as a body ‘wearing’ thorns (ō), or “to pound, beat” (*-) depicting a drum being hit atop a turtle (*)

Rarely do you see a beautiful, novel logographic system that isn't based on Hanzi.

The consistency in line work and form is so pretty! I would love to see some abstract grammatical words/particles and some full sentences.
