Eireni's sketches

I made a font! During a project the other year I decided I hated every free ‘Ancient Greek’ style font available for their many sins - looking like the typeface equivalent of medieval drawings of foreign animals, using Σ for E, being mashed up with rune-style fonts like heorot, having either only a greek charset or only a latin charset… so I thought I’d try making one myself. A font family, in fact: there are 8 total sets, one group monospaced, one group kerned. The 4 styles are: round/regular, heavy, light and ‘engraved’, a 3D-ish effect. You can download them from here

Επίσης, καλοί μου συμπατριώτες, αν έκανα κανένα λάθος κάπου, η κάτι σας ενοχλεί… παρακαλώ πείτε μου!

I was feeling v low in self confidence the other week due to doing really poorly on a piece of coursework, and while waiting for the natural emotional reaction to pass I figured I should do something that would directly make me feel good about my capabilities. Decided to do some boat + precedent sketches, which really cheered me up, and then I got great feedback about them too!

A small selection of life drawings done in the last few weeks I'm pleased with! The middle one in watercolours was an unusual 2-hr pose yesterday. I turned up a minute late and probably got the most difficult angle for the face but it was good fun (: I try to do something a little different each time, but my ultimate goal is to work out how to loosen up a bit...

Hello! Is your font available for commercial use? Like is there a purchase license version to use it in merchandising or books? Thanks in advance.

Hi! Thanks for getting in touch. The version available currently is 100% free, including commercial use - though that does come with the caveat that it's not fully made for commercial use, and is therefore missing punctuation and other features that might be expected. If you find that you do need such features, get in touch and I'll see what we can work on.

If it works fine for you however, and you appreciate it and want to send me a donation in support, you can always send me an amount you think is reasonable to my PayPal. Also, please let me know if you do use it so I may see the result! I'd love to see it out there, being a passion project.

It's been a while...

So here's a twitter thread about the study I made some art for last year! Maddy was researching children and adolesents' methods of data gathering and taking on advice for her PhD. As part of that, she made a little game in which kids would count or guesstimate how many of each type of alien was on a little planet, and rate their confidence in that decision, every now and then getting advice from a little cosmonaut or on a screen. I was commissioned to make the assets for that! The tricky part was designing a large number of colour schemes that even children who potentially had colour blindness could pick out.

Here's the link to the tweet

Here's the link to the study, called "I know better! Emerging metacognition allows adolescents to ignore false advice"

I’ve been doing an illustration recently which I’ve designed so I can make Pride variations of it. I’ll probably be putting them up on redbubble, but I have a couple more to do so I might wait til I’ve got those finished. In order: LGBT+ace flags, trans flag, pan flag and sapphic flag

[eireni]

I've now got final versions up as individual posts and on redbubble! enjoy, everyone

I haven’t painted anything properly in a while and was feeling bad about it, and the easiest thing to do when that happens is do a redraw! That first one is the first digital drawing I ever did, before I even got a tablet aha, and I initially used it for my myspace background back in the day. Maybe in a few years when I do another revisit I’ll bother with the petals/feathers again
