Calligraphic - A Contest

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

Heres my long awaited Tugr’

Its taken a long time to do on Paint and it is not anywhere near as good as my hand drawn version but still I think it is very good effort.

It is not only my name but the caligraphic writting is highly sytlised to show a crouching tiger and the words are a mix of Arabic script and Turkic, it bears my name beneath the words “Assad Allah al Ghalib” which are taken directly from the Koran and refer to Allah’s Lion/Tiger will always be victorious.

It is a bit bombastic but I like it very much as it sums up a lot about me…

I love this experiment with paint and thanks to all you guys and especially LKK for the inspiration of working with Paint… the more I practice with this relatively new medium the better I will get Insha Allah.

I heard that **Jo 2saro ke liyeh aasani paida karta hy Allah SWT us ke liyeh aasani paida kartain hain. **U point is just like hitting nails on head. I agree and now i’ll gonna opne two polls threads (1) computer generate handwriting (2) original handwriting :slight_smile:

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

Oh I dont know which one I want to enter for a comp if I have to enter one for computer one I want to enter my Tugr’

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

Nice one Faris!

I used to do a bit of calligraphy when I was young (or rather I was forced to by my dad in a failed bid to improve my horrible Urdu handwriting).

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

Nice Faris bhai :k:

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

After 8 attempts of practicing I have made my paint Tugr’ almost as good as my hand drawn version :cb:

Too bad i cannot upload my hand work, I am going to try a different camera over the weekend and see if I can get some snapshots of my had made caligraphy too… as you can tell I’m too old and a real techno-phobe.

Supereb :lajawab: :mash2: btw Faris Bhai! likha kiya hy?

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

I think it says 'Asad Allahu Ghalib' (The Lion of Allah shall be victorious).

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

You think spot on as always. Yes the Tigers stripes in the centre are made up of the Koranic verse, while the body itself is my name… okay it’s very bombastic but hell it’s still very awe inspiring and I have used that symbol for years… :cb:

Mind you I am bot the first. Tipu Sultan used it too, as did many Turkic and Arab as well as Persian warlords, princes and emperors. The Panthera fammily of beasts are long used in Caligraphy. Theres a really nice one depicted outside Data Darbar… or at least there used to be. :konfused:

Re: Calligraphic - A Contest

I believe the image at Data darbaar is actually inside the darbar sorry my mistake. :)
