This is a combination of few photos and two drawings using the pen tool and other tools. The flag took me over 10 hours to draw. The story of this flag goes back thousands of years. In the story, According to Persian mythology Kaveh was a blacksmith and led a rebellion to overthrow Zah-hak who had reigned on Persia for 1000 years. After the war, people decorated the apron using the blacksmith's leather apron on a spear as a flag with jewels and the flag became the symbol of Persian independence and resistance towards foreign tyranny. It was a very joyous occasion, so I combined it with a bride (my niece), to show happiness and a sunrise to show a new day and another photo that looks like details in the sun.
