this is a masterful achievement. your technical abilities as demonstrated in render the original 4Xs is a feat unto itself. then to add such a detailed fill - incredible. another high note :)

sorry to hear about your technical difficulties. in the best of circumstances creativity is a delicate act, but when challenged, results can be...amazing :) i think among all fonstructers, you definitely foster a since of community and strong support and encouragement of other designers. when you post all is well, when you don't i wonder what's up. now i understand by you sharing your plight.
now i can see when fs was experiencing a "few" migration bugs that this only added to your...um, frustration :) but i know that these things only fuel the fire, especially when one is determined to see the end result. thanks again for sharing and great job here. continue :)

@thalamic

I know what you mean about the down-voters. I have a "fan" that instantly gives me a 1 on almost every single font I release. I'm assuming it's the same person...maybe I'm just insecure, and I have a whole bunch of haters. :)

Regardless of the votes, this font is a great work and your patience paid off.

wow, this was quite an accomplishment before your narrative, which after reading qualifies this as a magnificent achievement no less. i could share with you some of my war stories with fs, but somehow, sometimes it adds to the creation. it seems like magic that in spite of the difficulties and challenges, we can create these wonderful little fonts - which aren't really real, are they :)

ugh, now get me started about these font trolls for which i decided a font, of which i'm surprised of it's popularity. i don't know if i'm getting the last laugh or them :) i would agree with both of you - i would assess that it's the same people who demonstrate that behavior. which is too bad, i readily accept suggestions and criticisms, but these trolls just seem to delight in demeaning others work. sad. they don't realize their negative energy will only continue to deplete whatever remaining minuscule amount of creativity they have left. i think fs would be well served by someday introducing a more advanced voting widget - one that would allow voting on individual components of a design such as originality, execution/technique, usability, etc. until then, i try not to get emotionally charged when i get down-voted, but i suppose you can't help but react when something you've put your heart into gets mistreated.

i'm sure the admins could run some queries to identify fs users who down-vote on a consistent basis, but i'm not sure what good it would do. they could always register and vote under a new name. i really think if more downloaders in general would just vote that in itself would offset a lot of the bs. i don't know what the average is but maybe 1 in 4 vote who dl and that's probably a high %.

but let us not fret. in the end, it is we who create the work that drives both the good and bad of fs - its great when you get a dl and a good vote. you never know what someone is doing with your stuff, but that's the fun and mystery of it (although i wish more people would post the use of fonts the dl). maybe we need a forum and gallery here, although i guess that's what we have, we just need to utilize it as such. so let's continue to celebrate the joy of fs and pray for those lost trolls whose only joy comes not from creating and celebrating, but from trying to destroy and despising others work.

wise words.
makes me even feel more honoured, if such a wise person likes my work.
Very good idea to blow it up.
And indeed super nice fill-ins :)

I should have constructed "mostly" that big, right from the start. i had issues with the letterspace controls, because of some half bricks i used...

Thank you for that
*blush

like a old typo for videogames !

A great rend-ition :) It's beautiful, right up to the maximum size.

I discovered the art of batch brick-stacking whilst working on my 'Alphabox Shadow' - and have also managed to get 3 bricks in one stack, which occasionally comes in useful.

Hope my 10 helps to undo the spoiling tactics of whoever gave you a 1.

Really a genius. The name doesn't suit, though.

Both outstrokes and pattern are great. Congrats.

This is genius. This is a creation of utterly mind-boggling creativity. Beauty in pixel form (not really pixels, but you know what I mean).

ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!!!

Say... how did you clone this? There's no clone button or nothing on Mostly...

All your contributions are well appreciated, Ata. No need for remorse! It is when life calls you away and you are silent that we miss you (and that is our problem ;)

BTW, did you use a gradient map to color the seamless sample? No, the upper and lower “waves” use the same grayscale values. You must’ve done some fancy masking to achieve these classic “chrome” reflections. There’s love in that, and for a highly lovable fs!

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “fs mostly harmless” is now a Top Pick.

It took that long for this to become a TP?! Meek, where've you been?!

I still can't get over how epic this font is. Kudos to Kix, of course, for making the letters, and major kudos to you for doing such amazing things to the letters. If I could fave this again, I would.

Amazing talent with a virtual pen always results in an amazing piece of virtual art. Fontstruct has been blessed with the thalamic's great skill. May I ask, did you get this font's characteristics from Graffiti Block by Font Wizard? They look quite similar.

This is absoloutly amazing. I love to pieces. It is really cool and it must have taken you sooooooo long to make it because it is sooooo amazingly good.

This is cool But can I use it?(I will give credit)

Crikey! I really like this

(also, points for Hitchhiker's reference!)

Wow! Nice work! Definitely going to favorites!
