I’ve only drawn cersei once when I had only just started fleshing out the general look I wanted to go for in my asoiaf art, so I wanted a chance to go back and update her. cersei’s design is tough because I always think of her hair, but it’s hard to make loose hair not look ahistorical and out of place grrr… This was the solution I came up with in the end. Not perfect, but I think she looks pretty anyways
The Weeping Bride — Portrait of Emmeline Albrion by a well-known painter, 140 A.G.
The union of Lady Emmeline Albrion, heiress of Lion's Gate, and Lord Cerhir Beithir, Lord of Edina, sealed the long-awaited pact between their houses. This alliance was forged in the aftermath of their loyalty to King Alfons II during the war against his elder brother, King Philip I. Yet, despite the political triumph, the marriage was anything but happy. Lady Emmeline’s sorrow was evident, for in every portrait painted after her wedding, not once was she seen smiling.
Emmeline is a character created by me and lives in the original setting Artesia. You can read more about Emmeline here

Jon Snow with the letter from Ramsay. This was the second half of a commission, done to match Dany!
I just discovered your asoiaf art and I'm crying tears of joy. It's so gorgeous!
thank youuu <3 so glad I picked the series up on a whim because it’s been great for inspiration :)
Dany and her Silver in the Dothraki Sea… (the shallow end at least)
Have you heard of the YouTube channel Alt Shift X? They’re a video essay channel that mainly cover ASOIAF and it’s theories.
I have seen the channel but I have not ever watched anything from it I think? I don’t get much asoiaf content recommended to me on youtube. and venturing outside of the tumblr fandom scares me. there are redditors out there….
I know nothing about dnd but Sybille looks so cool!!! I really love her necklace and what I presume is a fox (?) tied by a rope as a charm on it? Does it relate to her faith? Also her outfit is gorgeous and her nose and eyes and face!!!!! Words cannot describe how much admiration I have for your work! You really inspire me to draw!
yes her necklace is a fox and yes it is related!
Her religious order worships the god of death, agriculture, and travel, and there’s typically one priest of the faith in every community to perform funeral rites (and usually farm as a day job). she, however, comes from a monastic temple of death so the symbolism is pretty straightforwardly related to that. foxes are pretty cunning creatures, but in the end no one can outsmart death.
and thank you!! that is so kind and I really appreciate it <3
I just finished a big revision of Compromise Chapter 10, which means I should only need to do a round or two of proofreading before posting. 🥳
To celebrate (and to thank my readers and followers for their patience), here is a wonderful portrait of the Velargirls by Liesl / @shripscapi 🥰
Liesl was great to work with! She aced all the little details that I asked for:
Velargirls’ eye color, especially Jace’s Tyroshi / Tyrian purple.
Jewelry! All the jewelry! Sunfyre pendant, dragonglass tension ring, rubies like blood drops in Joff’s hair.🩸
Joff’s creepy AF book cover.
Sapphire blue yarn!
Luce’s gloriously curly and perpetually untidy hair. And her silver hair net!
All the pretty ornamentation on Jace’s gown. It’s easier to see on the individual portrait version I have for each of the girls, but her sleeves are soooo luxurious and lacy.
I also think you can feel each girl’s personality coming through the portrait. Jace is taking it the most seriously with her classic pose and “just a little smile but not too much of a smile” expression.
Luce is having fun but probably arguing with the painter, “What do you mean I can’t show teeth? Also I am going to lean on this table, because it gets tiring standing in this pose.”
And then there’s Joff, who doesn’t want to be here. But Rhaenys and Rhaenyra really want a nice portrait of all the girls, so she’ll put up with the ordeal.
10000/10 would recommend working with Liesl. Definitely check out her other ASOIAF art!
Everytime you post new art i have to look through the old ones again and god!! I notice little details everytime and it's just so good. Anyways I hope you have a nice day
tysm!! that is very kind :) there are drawings I don’t like as much anymore but overall I have had sm fun drawing asoiaf stuff and there are a lot that i DO like which is a win for me 💪 and I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of all there is to draw in the books
