A Dance With Dragons

An illustration I did for a gallery showing last month in Lafayette, LA. Has a little fun with George R. R. Martin's book title "A Dance With Dragons," in the Song of Fire & Ice series. Someone must have been entertained by the illustration because apparently it was sold! Wooo!

Seaworthy

Next up in my "A Song of Fire and Ice" illustration series is Davos Seaworth. Davos isn't one of the flashier characters in the novels, but he has become of of my favorites. He's similar to Eddard Stark in that he's a very honest and loyal character, but has a past as a smuggler. This not-quite-legal career path led Davos to knighthood after he snuck into a besieged castle to deliver foodstuffs. Stannis Baratheon rewarded him for this venture, but took had Davos's left-hand fingers cut off at the first joint as a punishment for smuggling.

Davos kept the finger bones in a pouch around his neck to remind himself of the past and the actions that earned his family their name. Honor from dishonor, in a way.

The Maid of Tarth

Here's another in my "A Song of Fire and Ice" portrait series. Brienne of Tarth, also known as "The Maid of Tarth" with a grip on Jaime Lannister's Oathkeeper sword.

I also have illustrations of Davos Seaworth and Reek on the way!

Family First

Well, here's a rather unsettling illustration of Cersei and Jaime Lannister from George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice novels. I actually inked it before Game of Thrones came out on HBO, so this is based off of my memory of the novels.

If you're new to the series, then I'll just say that these two are siblings that have a very un-sibling relationship. EEP.

Rickon & Shaggydog

Continuing with my Song of Fire and Ice / Game of Thrones fan art series, here's Rickon Stark and his dire wolf, Shaggydog. One of the first moments where I knew I was going to enjoy this series VERY MUCH was when all the Stark kids were naming their dire wolves, and lil' Rickon named his SHAGGYDOG. Haha, I thought that was superfun. For the most part, the novels are dark, but they do allow bits of comedic respite every now and again. This illustration is, of course, more in line with the comedic respite!

Tyrion

Here's a silly, quick illustration of Tyrion Lannister, from George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice novels. The first in the series, Game of Thrones, is about to premiere as an HBO show! So a couple of friends and myself are doing some fan art to celebrate it.

I can't remember if it was ever mentioned that Tyrion loved wine, but he REALLY loves wine in this illustration.

The Mountain

Here's a quick, silly illustration of Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane from George R.R. Martin's novel Game of Thrones, which is about to premiere as an HBO series. Which I'm, of course, very excited for.

The @GameofThrones twitterfeed retreated this illustration, which is INSANELY AWESOME and was one of the nerdiest moments of my life, thus far. It drew some nice comments, but some people were mad at how silly it was. Haha, sorry dudes. There's enough dark illustrations out there already, right?
