Description
Finally Part 4 of Circular Gallifreyan. For those who don't know, this is one of the written language in the Doctor Who universe. This is my intepretation of how words translate in this language. Sorry it took a while, but here it is!To let you know, I've read all of your suggestions in the comments. They will be coming up next. They doesn't mean you shouldn't stop suggesting. Keep them coming!

Great! i looked at these when i didn't even seen a line of gallifreyan on the show (the rebooted dr. who is quite stingy on the gallifrey dosages), but now i must say i still like the whole designs!
If i could make a suggestion i would like to say
"Stray"
as it is such a strong concept for Dr. Who
and for a more object thing i would say "Sheep" or/and "Wolf"
let me know if you are going to keep it up!

I'm curious. Would you ever mind if I have someone use some of these designs for a weapon I want them to make? I will make sure they, and I, will give you credit.

What about the different Time Lord names? Romanadvoratrelundar, Koschei(The Master), Ushas(The Rani), Arkitior(Literal: Rose. Susan Foreman's real name), etc...
Bad Wolf?
The Doctor?
Fixed Point?

Fez. You HAVE to make the word for fez. Or...Geronimo? Pond? Fish fingers and custard?
These are so beautiful, and clearly very well considered!

I would love to see the Gallifreyan for well, the word love
I actually had a tattoo done of your Gallifreyan of Dream last Tuesday, I'll send you a picture once it's healed and doesn't look horribly scabby and mangy like it does now

Hi. i would really like to get "calculations" as a tattoo. As it is your work would you allow this? i could send you the photograph afterwards and always tell people this was your design? please get back to me

oh several people have been telling me about tattooing the designs on them and I do allow it as long I see a photograph. ^_^.

They're great. Obscurity is really beautiful. How about life or lifetime, since those can be such jumpy things for the doctor and his companions. Or something along the lines of do not touch [the big red button]

have you done Thought or higher thinking? deduction, reasoning, or possible do some names?

well, I am was experimenting with my name. Trying to see if I can capture some of the mystery and mysticism that the Doctor's written name on the crib.

I love these designs and would love to see them used in the series itself. I wish I could get a tattoo of one of these. but I'd need one for Change. Sadly that isn't here

just commenting again to say how much I admire these.
In my head canon, Old High Gallifreyan was originally a purely telepathic language, and it "sounded" like music..... being made largely of mathematical concepts. These symbols fit perfectly with that idea!
I don't find the idea of a dictionary or an alphabet particularly useful -- but your images do capture that feeling that they are mathematical diagrams of the idea they represent. Really excellent work! Do you have a print of all the symbols you've done like a poster? I would buy!

I am just shocked that a couple people would want some of these be prints. I'll think about that suggestion. For now, I would need to start on part 5 of Circular Gallifreyan. ^_^;;

I love all of these!
Some Ideas: Loss (as in the opposite of victory), TARDIS, Happy birthday (not that the timelords would need that XD seeing as they have many of them!), knowledge, and 'I' (as in 'me')
Great job!!

These are absolutely amazing... I was wondering if you could make one for the words 'lock' and 'key.' I would love to get any one of these as a tattoo. X3

i think you should have one explaining how to form coherent sentances with all of these.

All of your Circular Gallifreyan are brilliant! Very clever for doing this. I'm a sucker for made-up language.

I really love all of your Gallifreyan work

These are so amazing! I first found the first two pages of these in a tumblr post and until I saw them here I actually thought they were canon Gallifreyan. I have a ton of respect for you now!
(By the way, could you add "song" or "sing" or something [haha, alliteration] to your [probably very long] list? That would be really cool.)

I found these on tumblr and now tracked you here

Passion or Emotion would be great. As well as Yes and No.
I love your interpretations of the language

Would you do 'kindness'? These are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much.

I saw these on Tumblr, at first unaware they were a fanwork, and now I'm even more impressed! These are truly awesome and very cool looking.
So this'll sound dumb, but "despair" and "dream" made me think of The Sandman by Neil Gaiman...it'd be super cool to see others in that series of Endless characters, such as desire, delirium, death, destiny, destruction...

oh it's no problem and I am surprised that some people think could be canon. ^_^ and that dumb? Nah.
I will put that on my list. I am glad you like it.

I've only just discovered your circular Gallifreyan and have had the tabs open for the three parts for a couple of hours.. I go back and you've uploaded a fourth.. very odd XD
I love 'Calculations' and 'Travel', it's cheesy, but I'd love to see one for 'Love' (:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I have been getting "Love" a lot. It's ok. It might be next in part 5. Who knows.
