“I know I can never defeat you Lobo, but I will never stop fighting for this life.”
[ID: A digital Persian Miniature styled art of Death and Puss In Boots’ final battle on the Wishing Star from the movie Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. The background is a blue with darker cracked textures signifying the area of the star, and the borders are purple with pink and white flame patterns across. Death can be seen raising his sickles at Puss with a feral snarling smile on his face, meanwhile Puss is knelt in front of him holding out his sword as his terrified expression is reflected on one of Death’s sickles. End ID.]
A Persian Miniature-esq styled art of Death and Puss’ final battle on the wishing star. This took me a long time to finish but it was a blast to paint!! Both Puss and Death ended up looking more 3D than what is typical of the very flat and 2D styles of Persian Miniature art, but I feel I managed to capture the energy and ‘flow’ of them well enough!
I adore the use of fairy tales and folklores in the Shrek universe and so I thought the idea of using the Persian Miniature style would have fit along with it, as these artworks were often used for book covers and illustrations. I’ve also wanted to create art with more influence from my culture and background, so I thought it’d be a perfect fit!
This was digitally painted with Krita, did I manage to make it look ‘traditional’ and painterly enough despite the digital medium?

Court of Keyumars, Miniature by Sultan Muhammad from the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp, 1568
Opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper, 45 x 30 cm
Aga Khan Museum
When the sun reached the lamb constellation,9 when the world became glorious, When the sun shined from the lamb constellation to rejuvenate the living beings entirely, It was then when Gayumars became the King of the World. He first built his residence in the mountains. His prosperity and his palace rose from the mountains, and he and his people wore leopard pelts. Cultivation began from him, and the garments and food were ample and fresh.

The background is a pinkish white with a dark purple boteh pattern behind Elrick. The borders are a dark purple with a thin white border in the middle of them and four foxglove flowers in each four corner of the piece. End ID.]

Made the mistake of pulling up a scan labeled "The Story of the Camel and His Friends" expecting a cute image before remembering things did not end well for the camel in this particular story 😬😭
