I should confess that I'm confused which category should I put my works, let me tell you how I did this and other similar illustrations,
I made the figures of clay (mostly polymer clay) and after taking pictures of them, I put to gether those pictures in photoshop which means some editing and finalizing.
In this illustration which I did it for the Ministry of Education in Iran (5th grad, history text book), every element is made by my own, (except for the canon which is a toy) I mean the landscape, all the figures and even the photo of the sky in the back ground is taken by me.

The idea of this technique came to my mind 11 years ago when I was passing the 1st semester of my college in Tehran (Azad uni.) but as far as I am too lazy and playful and the shortness of the needed equepment at that time, I sufficiented to a singel test then, which is shown in the gallery and also my life were full of unexpected adventures (not always so funny) so 3 years ago I manage to make this idea practical and I think it's the begining.

I should admitt that I always consider myself as a kid who loves to play! and I'm here 'cause my dear friends want me to.
