Description Bülbül = "nightingale" in Turkish...

I'm in love with birds these days so I wanted to try a modern bird shaped zoomorphic piece using Latin alphabet rather than Arabic...

wow ! is it a symbol that already exist as is, or did you add your personal touch ? I'm not sure I understand what you did... but it's beautiful and a bird was what I saw at first.

it is a zoomorphic calligraphy - that is I wrote the Turkish word "bülbül" which means "nightingale" in an artistic manner so that it will appear/seem like a bird hence, it is not an already existing symbol; I created it using letters "b, ü, l" so that it will read "bülbül" but you know in an artistic manner...

I find zoomorphic pieces rather difficult (sometimes much more difficult than diwani or kufic). You seem to have paid good attention on that one... Great job! (I am also curious to see a zoomorphic piece of arabic script... )

illiyun In reply to Sokail-t3h-noobie [2008-03-22 16:56:04 +0000 UTC]

They're indeed very difficult but that difficulty is partly due to the fact that in classical Islamic calligraphy they're done in a very complex manner; in my opinion a little bit over-done since I'm a fan of simplicity, I prefer to make zoomorphic pieces in a very simple and minimalist manner and hence they're not that difficult...

I have done a few with Arabic calligraphy too but they aren't as good; hopefully I'll improve my Arabic script skills and make a nice zoomorphic piece using Arabic script thanks a lot for the comment and the fav...

Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you on the matter of zoomorphic islamic calligraphy being a bit overdone sometimes... You are wellcome!
