Looks great @Chris, I love the "eli" and "ts" especially, and how the terminal of the "y" picks up the i's tittle. Comments: The D and g (mainly the tail of the g) are too heavy. If you kept the overall weight consistent across all the characters I think it would fix the imbalance you're seeing. Really nice, is this for a client?
@Joseph Alessio Cheers man, really good advice. Some of the problems are down to covering inking mistakes so they'll be fixed when I vector it. This is a little exercise really, I often look around for briefs that I think I could experiment with and see where they take me.
I really like this, the way both words fit together is perfect. I love how the 'hts' sits above the 'g' descender, it really helps everything feel cohesive and 'whole'. For the 'D' and 'g', I agree with @Joseph, I think other than the weight, their actual shapes are really nice. Top 'T' crossbar feels a bit heavy as well but it's an easy fix in vector. Can't wait to see the next step!

Any tips on what to do with the D and the g would be appreciated and as always any advice or comments really appreciated.
