Description
Confused, I ask myself: "Who am I?"Another peice of calligraphy that I did at college.
It took around 100 minutes to finish the traditional inking during a lecture. I cleaned it up, did a little edit and inverted the colours on Photoshop CS.
In case you couldn't figure out yet, this is Arabic.
Disclaimer
I have no former knowledge of calligraphy. I have not been taught it, and everything I do, I do according to my own rules. I AM FREE AND I LET MY MIND SPEAK!

Awesome-sauce!
Never knew calligraphy could be used as more than just writing fancy words. O.o

O_o... *blinkblink*
It's called calligraphy BECAUSE it's more than just writing.
Writing is called just writing.
Y'know maybe you have a point. The history of Western calligraphy isn't really that artistic with letters, and calligraphy was used for inscription in volumes maybe by monks or I don't know, whoever had a lifetime to spend doing the same thing.
Not here though. It's an art.

Thanks a lot. Does your system support Arabic? If you can't read the following, I can transfer to you a JPG or something via other means.
It is written
ุฃูุง ู
ู ุฃูููุ
and pronounced
2anรข man 2akoon?
2 is glottal stop.
a is short man's a.
รข is close to man's.
oo is long as in food

Thanks for the comment, fav and watch, but I've already stated that I strictly forbid using my work for tattoos. Keep that in mind.

If by kilk you mean that program thing called "kelck", then no.
A friend of mine has given me the program not too long ago, but I have absolutely no idea how to use it.
It says this is "traditional" work in the description and the categorization, which means I did this by hand: I used pens.

It's very clean - looks like Illustrator work, not pens!

Akhi, perhaps you could help me! I was looking for someone who can make stuff like that... I have a company named LimeFruit Design. Do you think that you could make an art like that with that name?

In Arabic? That would sound strange. =\

Clasen In reply to KingRoach [2005-05-13 23:00:53 +0000 UTC]
yeah in Arabic... But if it sounds strange then I dont want it... I cant read or write Arabic yet, but im still learning!

KingRoach In reply to Clasen [2005-05-14 13:27:16 +0000 UTC]
Don't worry at all. Arabic is very easy and fun to learn. If you need anything at all, ask me and I will do my best to answer your questions.
As for the LimeFuruit thing. I saw you already have a banner. If you use a specific font for it in English, then I suggest you use a similar one in Arabic. All the major companies in the world do that as it's a very strong impact on those who speak the language. The consumer will KNOW it's the same company.
How about that? Yes? Yes.
