WinterIsComing-fans

Lots of amazing ASOIAF/GOT projects are being promoted right now, one of those, it's this amazing "Draw 'Em With the Pointy End: A Game of Thrones Art Book", created thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/2…
Many talented artists have created illustrations that will be featured in this unique volume, dedicated to the TV series and the books!
If you missed the Kickstarter, you can even buy the book and other merchandise related to the project, on this site: gracepfong.com/shop
Check it out and support all the great artists who took part!!
(thanks to herringbonnes for the suggestion!!)

Also don't forget about the lovely project by Aesara-Dayne and lovelessdevotions!
The project consists of interviewing the outstanding ASOIAF/GOT fan artists and some official artists!
The idea was inspired by a similar project dedicated to Tolkien's fan artworks, but this time they wanted to give us, ASOIAF/GOT fans, the possibility to show our art and appreciation for Martin's world.

You can find the first two interviews here!! Check them out and promote this great project!
Illustrating Westeros: ASOIAF Artists Speak IIn this first edition, we talk with Mathia Arkoniel, a veteran illustrator that is amongst the first fan artists to grace the ASOIAF fandom back in the days when the pool was smaller and the variety in styles and interpretations more reduced. She is an artist whose paintings capture the dynamic and sensual world that George R. R. Martin has crafted in his fantasy series. Her pieces are distinguished by a bold use of colour and polished rendering, and each one reveals an expressive emotional quality that highlights not only Mathia’s talent but a perceptive grasp of the source material, which we hope will be enlightening for artists and readers alike.

     
  Illustrating Westeros: ASOIAF Artists Speak IIRichly detailed and darkly evocative, Bubug's ASOIAF artworks are not easily forgettable. Perhaps it is because of the humour and irony that permeates her pieces, easily making you laugh as they simultaneously captivate. Or the answer may lie in the many symbolic details that are weaved through the paintings: challenging our familiarity with these characters whilst deepening our appreciation. Whatever the reason, it is little wonder that Bubug's style and insight are cherished by so many in the fandom.
