#Nasir al mulk Mosque

[th3surface-blog]

Hello, I haven't used tumblr in a while but I used to be an avid user--

I've been searching online for a way to find out about a few countries but reddit-no dice and I pretty much ran out of ideas after that so here I am on tumblr trying to find some assistance. If you've been or live in one of these countries...Tell me about it :)

1)Yemen (specifically Al-Saleh Mosque)

2)Ughyur (International Bazaar) - I know how unlikely it will be that I find someone on here that knows anything about this country and what's going on but I'm shooting my shot.

3)Al Aqsa Mosque/ Palestine in general

4) Syria (Damascus -Umayyad Mosque)

5)Iran (Nasir Al Mulk Mosque)

6) Somalia (Hargeysa)

Thank you in advance to everyone who is able to help.

NASIR AL-MULK MOSQUE - IRAN

Pink 🕌 patterns / Shiraz / Iran

"The Pink Mosque, officially known as Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, is located in Shiraz, Iran. Famous for its stunning display of colors, the mosque features extensive use of stained glass, which casts vibrant and colorful light on the carpets, walls, and the praying worshippers inside, especially in the early morning. This effect has earned it the nickname «Pink Mosque» due to the predominant use of pink tiles in its interior design. Built during the Qajar dynasty in the late 19th century, the mosque combines traditional Islamic architecture with Persian elements, like intricate tile work and beautiful arches, making it a masterpiece of design and an enduring symbol of Iran’s rich cultural heritage."

Iran 🇮🇷

In Shiraz, you can find the pastel pink Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, built in the 1800s.

Or at least... that’s how it looks during the day. At night is when the real party starts, and the beautifully bright stained glass windows create kaleidoscopic rainbow patterns on the floor 🌈

And if you happen to wander inside... well, you’ll be greeted by those same dancing lights stretching across all the walls of the room around you, the pillars and carpets of which are just as ornate and beautiful.

Incredible, what human hands can build.

Hi! Younger artist here, I just saw your post with all those super cool monster designs and I took a quick stroll through your blog, and I was wondering if you had any specific inspirations for those designs or where you get inspo for character designs in general? Or perhaps some tidbits on how you learned how to make wild designs like that?

Sorry if this is a bit of a big ask, I just think it's really cool and I was curious!

Hello! Thank you for your question and apologies for taking so long to answer, I just got really excited and wanted to be thorough! 

My biggest piece of advice is research and develop a visual library of reference material! Your visual library is like a mental database of everything you’ve ever seen in your life, and this is what you can pull from to design concepts. 

There are a couple ways to start this as a practice: 

Notice what you see! It can be a chair, a sunset, a shoe, the light on a tree, but if you see something you think is beautiful or interesting, mentally make a note of it!

Document what you like! With computers and cameras this is a lot easier to do nowadays, but if you see something interesting to you, document it. You can draw it, or take/save a photo to folder. 

Organize it! I highly recommend coming up with a system for referencing back to find things, either through image tags or folders or even a manual filing system. 

Pay attention to your personal preferences and experiences. Try to think about what draws you to certain visual elements, identifying them can lead you to more things you like. Also pay attention to what you don’t like and why, it doesn’t necessarily need to be bad or amoral, we all have personal tastes. 

Get out of your comfort zone! I recommend trying to see something you’ve never seen before often. Find a new artist, a new genre, research a new type of design movement, go to a new place, etc. 

Try to find context for your research! For example, If you really love a specific era of fashion, research that time period and the way historical context informs it. Context can be really important, especially if you are working with references new to you!

Important Note 01: You don’t want to copy or rip-off these things. In my experience the best way to avoid that is to have a lot of reference points for any project and embrace your authentic personal interests, experiences, and identity. 

Important Note 02: Like any research, be conscious of primary person vs secondary sources! One is not better than another necessarily, but I find I work my best with a  mix of both. I like to start with primary sources and then move to secondary sources, Ie: looking at authentic suits of armor before moving to contemporary armor concept art. You don’t have to do this, it’s just something I find helpful. 

Important Note 03: While mostly I’m referring to visual references, audio, music, and writing are also super helpful!

Ok now, how do you curate all that for a project. For those monster illustrations I wanted to explore how color can be horrific. Keywords: Color & Horror. So I start looking through references for things that have the effect I want color wise, vivid and maximalist, and things that I find scary or horrifying. Here are some of the things I knew about or discovered during the research process that had the vibe I wanted. 

Notable Influences

Intersections of Color & Horror

Microscopic Imagery

Moths, Beetles & Shrimp

Suspiria (1977)

AJ Fosik

Hungry | Johannes J. Jaruraak

Once you’ve gathered these references in one place (like a moodboard, folder,  or Pinterest board) It’s time to pay attention to wear aesthetics intersect, what patterns are coming up, what proportions of color, what textures reoccur, what elements of clothing reoccur, etc.. What relationship do different images have with each other, what emotional effect do they create. 

Now that you’ve studied up, it’s time to sketch, try and create things that feel similar to the work you are looking at but not copy it, instead try mixing things together. Experiment! Let your personal style and preferences sink in! Interpret what you’ve learned!

From there, it’s more of a design process, how to use proportion, light, anatomy, perspective, form, repetition, etc, to create the desired effect. Then you refine and refine.

For new or different projects you repeat the process, maybe you use similar points of reference, maybe you go a completely different direction. 

Anyway that was long, but I hope it was helpful!

First line: a timelapse gif of people walking and praying inside the Nasir al-Mulk mosque in Iran, the multicolour stained glass windows cast shadows of colour across the floor and the people inside. And gif of someone in a chādor garment and walking away from the camera, the stained glass windows leaves a shadow of colour on the cloth.

Greetings! This question is once again addressed at the most sophisticated and well mannered little gentleman. We all know his name by now.

I hope I'm right when I say that you've shown an interest in traveling the world or seeing new and foreign places. Where would you like to go one day, what parts of the world have piqued your interest the most and what place would you like to visit first, if given the chance? Perhaps Natalie could take you somewhere, someday? Thank you in advance.

Yours in curiosity,

your fellow supporter from far away, Lena

Well, I don't mind this style of address one bit. Will you do me a favor and instruct Natalie on how to flatter and impress, as you say, a sophisticated gentleman, such as myself? She's falling far behind you in every aspect.

Ah, yes, the magical allure of international travel: Something I've only experienced inside the rich imagination of my own mind. Believe me, I've read every tome I could get my hands on about foreign nations and their many wonders. I've whiled away many a quiet hour in the dark, isolated and alone, imagining myself immersed in some far-off vista.

You ask a deeply intriguing question. If you'd like the full breadth and depth of my many desired destinations, you'd surely grow tired of reading before the list was complete. However, I will endeavor to shorten this message to the essential highlights:

I'd very much like to see the Acropolis in Athens, the Pantheon in Rome, the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, Machu Picchu in Aguas Calientes, the Templo Mayor in México City, the Red Square in Moscow, the Taj Mahal in Agra, the Marienplatz in Munich, the Great Wall in Huairou, the Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, and... truth be told, and don't you dare make some snide remark in regards to this, I should like to visit some of the filming locations from The Lord of the Rings in Auckland.

I can see Natalie's face now as I provide her with a meticulous, itemized itinerary for such a cross-cultural trip. She'd most likely roll her eyes and remind me that such things cost 'money' which she 'doesn't have'. I've no patience for such excuses. Please, Lena, is it? Please petition Natalie to reconsider her priorities to accommodate my entirely reasonable requests for broadening my horizons.

Thank you for this thought provoking question, I will be sure to peruse a travel guide or two and satiate myself on daydreaming, for now.

A supporter from far-off, you say? Perhaps one day we won't be so far after all and I could fascinate you with tales of the many cases I, no doubt, will have won by that point.

Yours in wanderlust,

Alexander
