My addition to The Dead Words, a great blog run by @Karen To that mixes typographic design and lost language.
Check out the full size here as well as the other sweet designs from talented designers.

Cool, kinda strange, but the design is well suited to the word :P

Cheers @Andrew Terpening I don't think it's possible to make lettering out of a tongue without an element of strange but glad you think it suits it.
Also I hope @Nick Slater doesn't mind but I have added highlights in a similar style to his work. They really give a shine to his designs and I thought that would work here.

@Chris Beaumont Haha, yeah, I think you're right.
I noticed the highlights, and I highly doubt @Nick will mind

@Chris Beaumont @Andrew Terpening I don't care!! This is legit! Be nice if you added some drool!

Cheers @Nick Slater An earlier version did include it but I couldn't get the effect as I wanted. Maybe next time I need to make some type out of tongue. This was a bit of a break between client work so I didn't want to spend too long on it.

Love this one Chris, it's so perfect for the word. (Can't believe you actually managed to do a really long word entirely out of a tongue). The end of the last 'n' in particular is really vivid, looks great (haha, great example sentence too!)

@Claire Coullon Yeah the sentence is off a list of the dead words you can draw found here , I loved it too, so descriptive in such a short sentence. Some of the line work could be a lot better but I'm slowly getting the transition from hand drawn to vector.

"I don't think it's possible to make lettering out of a tongue without an element of strange" such a great quote! Haha nice work man

@Joseph Alessio Between that quote, this design and having a hamster powered raygun in my portfolio I can't see me ever getting hired again. Think I need stick to serious subjects for a while

Haha! I think any employer would rather hire someone with a sense of humor, at least today. Maybe not 100 years ago, though!
