...yet another style...my first time trying it; i was inspired by AR Chughtai- amazing amazing contemporary pakistani artist...used to paint around the 1920's
the painting by ARC that inspired me was the depiction of a couple from a poem by Omar Khayyam- I took the basic form of the male character- colours, type of clothes etc and changed it to a portrait of Majnoon- from the infamous tale of layla/majnoon Symbolism etc; the rose on top of the book depicts the poetic/romantasized depth of the story i made his clothes really loose/his turban too big for his head because majnoon wasnt really a king- he was only a common dude that fell in love with a girl from his village (persian interpratation of the story anyways)- but it was the depth of his emotions that made his story as well known as those of the rich and famous around his time but anyways; i know the geometric stuff sucks u_u i made most of them up on the computer and i havent done much of it before- but im planning to improve soon iA ^^
yup ^^ i first came aross it through Chughtai's son actually, he gave me a copy of the rubaiyat in urdu, i bought the english version recently, ya read it? i wish i could understand persian u_u the translations obviously nothing on the original...but the ideas behind the words are still pretty amazing, even in english/AGREE with me basbaydar :3/x

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
