Looks pretty cool. Is there any more information on it? |

Yeah, sorry. I had to run off to work before I had a chance to add more information. I call it Davin Script or sometimes Nyoisidh. It's an alphasyllabary I believe and read right to left. It was originally designed for a video game I was working on with some friends, but that kind of fizzled out. I wanted it to look like a steam-punkish tengwar, though it's structured more like my other script geingnorsh. I'll put a key up when I have it. _________________

The character that looks like "B" and the little dashes make me think of math. (^_^) I can see a bit of tengwar in the form though. I'd like to see more when you have time. _________________ I have some small knowledge of:

Cool!
Maybe I'm totally ofbeat here, but to me it looks like one of those ancient culures' scripts, which they found in peaces on clay, huge rocks or even walls of caves
Only when I see the key will I be able to say, if it's actually too complicated for a cave-man script  |

Here's a key.
I'd say it's a little to complex to be a caveman script. I actually like this one a lot, but of course I'm not a fair judge. It combines the functionality I like with a tad of aestheticism.
EDIT:
It also appears there's a bit of dirt on my scanner. Sorry about that >.> _________________

That looks awesome. I like it!
If it's for writing English, you might want to make a few modifications to make it a bit more true to the sounds (my idiolect of English has 11 vowels and allows at least /m n l r\/ as syllable nuclei (maybe more, I'm not sure), among other things), but the basic idea is awesome. |

Looks a lot like integral calculus. Very interesting. _________________ "We're the healthiest horse in the glue factory" - Erskine Bowles, Co-Chairman of the deficit reduction commission |

Loving it!
It does remind me of Nushu a bit. Very nice!
