Agreed like this lot.  I love this time period and the mixture of Medieval/oriental influences.

I still don't know how you get them to glow Daniel :)

Lovely job as usual. The flag is great ;)

X2! I noticed the glow as well; almost like the sun was shining though the fabric, but not so bright that it washes out the colors.


You should try this on lingerie...  :o

Truly beautiful work! Noticed what looks like the Star of David on the flag, does the symbol have a different meaning  for Islam. Or this particular flag?

The lights/shadows on the banner are very impressive!
Well done the whole - very nice!

thanks again

The Star of David is named as the Seal of Solomon. It is a symbol used by Muslims, for example, it appears on the mosque of Testour in Tunisia

The gold of banner is made with Mars orange (Lefranc) + chrome yellow deep (Lefranc) , lights with Naples yellow (Sennelier)
