Thaldir

To usher in the twentieth edition of Illustrating Westeros, we're pleased to present an interview with Tiziano Baracchi, known on DeviantArt as Thaldir, and our first artist from the legend  of Fantasy Flight Games, which has produced so many enduring depictions of A Song of Ice and Fire characters and scenes. As an official artist, Tiziano brings significant insight into the industry and what it takes to perform and succeed in a competitive environment where deadlines are vitally important and professionalism is key.  While he undoubtedly possesses the necessary attributes of dedication and reliability, Tiziano's prolific output truly reveals his outstanding talent, where characters are depicted in a realistic and painterly style that captures their particular features and traits in accurate and vivid detail.  We invite you to learn about Tiziano's impressive credentials, and express a heartfelt thank
