Script evolution

Part of this is to show you the updated version of the Saalangal script. I
switched to an indic ordering of the consonants, and vowels, which can be
found here. Most of the changes were to connect the floating bars to their
main glyphs. I thought it looked a bit too disconnected with floating
bars.

The second part is, did any of you "evolve" your scripts? Meaning, if you
derived it from another script, did you write out the  glyphs several
times to get a descendant script? And, if you made your own from scratch,
dod you make a "proto-script", and then evolve the letter forms from that?
Or did you guys just keep writing out characters until you found a look
you liked?
