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.
hey nahid, nice work. it's even more meaningful when combined with the story about persian mythology. are you of persian heritage?
ReplyDeletei was wondering how could i do that transparent effect, i got no ps, do you know somewhere i could download it?
Thanks for your comments! Try Adobe site, you can download Photoshop for a month to try for free. Making the photos transparent is very easy, on the layers palette you can change the opacity. Good luck!
