Scribble Comics: Language and Writing (Patreon)

I have been procrastinating on things by drawing little comics like these. Been fooling around with Idrisah's character more because of scenes I'm currently writing in the book.

1: Idrisah's Tiiliitian handwriting vs Sirawit's. Sirawit picked up hearts from human culture. They dot their Latin alphabet "i"s with hearts sometimes too.

2: The signatures of the main 4 ladies.

3: I drew this after doing some research and learning that colloquial Hindi and Urdu are essentially the same language (Hindistani) though they tend to be written in the Devanagari and Arabic scripts respectively. Shyam is fluent in Hindi; Idrisah knows some Urdu from her dad's side of the family, but is better at listening comprehension than speaking it. Talita took Portuguese in highschool and has forgotten most of it. Her biggest second language skill by the time she meets Shyam is ASL.
