a screenshot of MS Paint showing a canvas completely filled with all sorts of Gallifreyan lettering in various stages of rough planning. There are eight phrases, totalling over 50 words.
Started a new Gallifreyan project, and... I might have bitten off more than I can chew with this one! Not entirely sure if I can pull it off, but I've got a few ideas about how to make it work...
And only 5 days left to finish it! 🙃

"Least fave things to draw: circles."
LOL. LMAO, even. I should really update this given all the #Gallifreyan I keep doing.

Mixed media art consisting of ink-on-paper drawings and digital art drawn in MS Paint, all enclosed within a large circle. The digital drawing is of several circles, lines, and dots, representing the Circular Gallifreyan writing from Doctor Who. Translated, it reads "@dirxzilla.bsky.social", and is digitally signed with the same handle in plain text. The colours are in dull peacock blues, with bright teal-green lines arranged in radiating fans. Several cutouts around the edges of this the circular writing reveal various drawings in black ink on paper. They include a moth, a gryphon, a northern flicker, as well as a small peacock that is also used as my BSKY profile picture, and a written signature of "DIRX".
Colour pencil drawing of a rainbow-coloured Barioth from the Monster Hunter series. It is bipedal, like a T. rex with armored plating along its back and tail, and a large hammer-like crest on its head. It's drawn in a more cartoony style than most of my realistic work, and has a silly toothy grin. The colours of the crest and armor plates are the colours of the Progress Pride flag, with the blue/white/pink of the trans pride colours bookending on the crest and tail tip. Signed "Dirx" and dated 6/1/21.
Black ink drawing of a mountainscape, specifically Mount Chiquita, Ypsilon Mountain, and Fairchild Mountain, of Rocky Mountain National Park. Stark shadows and lighter hatching indicate the jagged, craggy nature of these mountains, and the foreground is filled with more rounded and densely wooded hills, shaded with more stippling than I would like to remember. Signed "DIRX" and dated 2/9/25.
Hello! My name is Dirx and while I don't post new art very often, I do enjoy #drawing, mostly #birds, #fanart, and #Gallifreyan.

A large circle filled with numerous smaller circles and lines, representing the "circular Gallifreyan" writing from Doctor Who. It reads "We want you to be happy 'cause this is your song too" along the outer ring, with "Phish" in the center, and "Joy" at the bottom in a large indent into the sentence circle. The edge of the outer ring is a brilliant rainbow repeating pattern. This same pattern fills the indent around "Joy" as well as the space around "Phish" in the center. The lyrics of the outer ring are dark and neon green against a black background, while the song title and band name are in lighter contrasting green. Signed "@dirxzilla.bsky.social"
"We want you to be happy
'cause this is your song too"
#Phish - Joy
#DoctorWho #Gallifreyan
Finally, after I'm happy with the final arrangement, I homogenize the linework into a single colour and use the fill tool to colour the rest of the space. I make the vowels a separate colour to help them stand out for better readability.

The full MSPaint workspace I use. Along the top is Step 1: all the individual letters of the phrase to be drawn. At the right is Step 2: the schematic arrangement of the word circles. Dominating the middle is the image from the previous post. The left side contains the written transcription of the phrase along with some template circles and circle segments I use in the planning process.
The sentence circle--the large, purple, outer pair of rings--is a pre-saved template I use in all of these pieces.
While I keep the words different colours here, I use yet another colour for the lines, to make it easier to erase and redraw them if I need to adjust them.

A large circle filled with smaller circles and lines, of all different colours. The general placement and rough design of each word circle matches that of the design posted earlier in this thread.
Then comes the labour-intensive part, drawing and arranging the word circles in the larger sentence circle. This involes a lot of trial and error for proper sizing, placement, and artistic direction. Different colours are again used to clearly differentiate the words.

#DoctorWho #Gallifreyan
Close-up of the word circles for "and again". These are roughly drawn, with with basic circles, tiny dots, and stubbed line segments.
Close-up from the final version, showing the same words: "and again". Both words are rotated slightly, some of the letters have changed in relative size to eachother, and the dots and lines are much more artistically drawn and arranged.
Things like proportions, orientation, and the placement of the line and dot decorations are all subject to change.
I use this step primarily as a schematic or checklist of what elements I need to draw and their relative order to eachother.

#DctorWho #Gallifreyan
Each of the words in the original phrase are now drawn as word circles, arranged in a larger sentence circle. Their design is rough and basic, meant to show shapes and positions but not the final artistic details.
The same image, but here the english translations are shown next to each word. Additionally, the word circles are all different colours now (which is not something I typically do at this stage, but for clarity these colours match the ones used in the image of post 5/7 later in this thread).
Next step is to rough out the completed word circles. In circular Gallifreyan, words and sentences are read counter-clockwise, starting at the bottom.

Three rows of circular shapes decorated with smaller circles, dots, and line segments, representing writing in the circular Gallifreyan language of Doctor Who. Red letters in english are typed out next to each shape, At the bottom right is the translated phrase typed out in english: History shows again and again How nature points out the folly of man Godzilla
A reference sheet showing how letters, numbers, and punctuation are drawn in circular Gallifreyan. Source unknown, with slight modifications by me.
Here's the same step again with the letter translations shown in red. The second pic is the quick-reference cheat sheet I use.
Everything from start to finish is drawn in MSPaint. No fancy layers or tools, just drawing circles and editing pixels while zoomed in.

My typical process for doing these Gallifreyan pieces.
First I start out by just transcribing the phrase, letter by letter. For longer phrases like this, I try to break up the words with alternating colours so I don't get confused.

A large circle filled with smaller circles and lines, representing the phrase "The horrors persist but so do I" in circular Gallifreyan. The colour motif is in pinks and purples, reminiscent of the meme featuring this same phrase that depicts a hamster in a pink toy car. Three indentations of the sentence circle reveal faint but readable phrases, also in Gallifreyan: "Fight back", "Stay strong", and "Live". Signed @dirxzilla.bsky.social
The horrors persist but so do I.
Fight back.
Stay Strong.
Live.

“Wild”
Had a project where I had to abstract a flower (I picked the wild red columbine) and while I was doing it I thought it looked kinda like Gallifreyan symbols, so I just made it Gallifreyan.

A pair of decorated circular designs, representing "Pikachu" and "Raichu" in the fictional Gallifreyan writing of Doctor Who. Each word circle is coloured with the respective pokemon's yellow pallettes, and the vowels coloured with the red and yellow cheek circles. The lines from various letters extend far outside the circles to form Pikachu's and Raichu's pointed ear shapes, and for good measure another line forms Pikachu's lightning-bolt-shaped tail. Signed "@dirxzilla.bsky.social"
Of course I had to do a little extra embellishment for these two!

Nine colourful circles representing words written in Gallifreyan, arrangede in three rows. The first row of three are coloured in green and blue-ish green, with vowels in accent colours of dark green and bright pink. The lines on these first circles are loopy and almost vinelike. The second row of three circles is coloured in oranges and red, with a fiery colour to the vowels. The third circle in this row also sports a letter in a greenish-blue accent. The final row of three is coloured in watery blues, with vowels in yellow, light blue, and steel grey. All three sport an edge stripe of shell brown. The lines on these circles somewhat resemble sprays of water. Signed "@dirxzilla.bsky.social"
Decided I needed to punch these up with additional tones on each circle.
Choose your starter!

A new project emerges! Can you guess the theme?

ARGH! Just noticed an egregious error on this one. Apologies to "Raijgow Dash"!
Here's the fixed version, (hopefully) correctly spelled.
