The legendary phoenix or simurgh made up of the Arabic words for strength, love, hope, rise, faith and protection: القوة ، الحب ، الأمل ، تنشأ ، الإيمان ، الحماية This type of calligraphy design is often termed a zoomorph, words creating the shape of an animal. Sometimes the words form a tightly bounded shape. In this case I preferred much looser strokes to give the feeling of the bird rising up in ecstatic flight full of strength and hope. Original calligraphy design by S J Thomas. www.worldcalligraphy.com

Is graffiti-style knotwork already a thing? If it isn’t it should be.

Year Created: 2006 Year Updated: 2013 (since I forgot on the pages) So I did this meme because I have a lot of characters that have changed pretty drastically, but I chose Kit because she’s near and dear to my heart as my first fancharacter (recently revamped and all fandom elements were dropped)  Thanks over to @myfirstoc for this lovely template! Sorry for handwriting stuff I’m still trying to get used to this art program and so writing is something to do (fun fact, the older image in the “updated” section was drawn in GIMP, and the additional stuff  with textured lines added were drawn today, in Krita).  Her previous name was “Kitten Madison” but I changed it to “Madenzen” to be a bit more foreign.  It’s helpful to fullview the images if you can!

Zoomorph G, dated AD 785. The monument is now understood by scholars to represent a “Waterlily Jaguar” with human figures wearing headdresses emerging from both ends.
