For a while now, I've been wanting to commission an artist to draw the two main characters from my novel I'm currently in the process of writing and I've finally found the perfect art style in the amazing work of @shripscapi
Being a fan artist myself, I felt like I've thought about these characters almost too much to draw them in an unbiased way, if that makes sense? Anyway, I'm in love with how they turned out and looking at this artistic version of these two people who have taken over such a huge part of my brain and time over the last couple of months is fantastic.
I hope that eventually I'll be able to share the whole story with you. Until then, please enjoy these beautiful drawings ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
glad i'm not the only asoiaf tudor fashion hater
I think there is some beautiful art of it but it feels out of place for how far back technologically westeros is… they don’t even have guns. but if they did all the women should get one
I just found your art and I must tell you that I am totally in love, it is simply beautiful and precious. Your talent is incredible! ❤️❤️❤️
Could you comment on the clothes you use for jon? I never saw him represented that way and now I've fallen in love! Thanks for share. If you ever need to open commissions, I'll be happy to commission you!
hi ! tysm :) I am happy to share, but it should be noted that I am definitely not a fashion history expert. I tend to pull from fashions in the medieval era, typically in the kievan rus/old russia region. I also sometimes draw from Ivan Biliban and similar illustrators and the fashions they use to depict Russian fairy tales.
Jon’s coat is pretty simple. it’s nice enough to be fur lined, but not nice enough to have any sort of decorative elements. His hat (I think) is slightly post-medieval, but I liked the silhouette. it felt dramatic enough for a lord commander without being too extravagant, and thought it would definitely come in handy for keeping warm at the wall. Any time I’m illustrating someone in the North, I try to cram in a bunch of furs so they’re not freezing. Also his sheath is taken from Link’s sheath for the master sword bc I couldn’t find one for the back that I liked lol
At the end of the day it’s a fantasy, and if george is going to insist on everyone having long flowy hair, I’m not going to kill myself with making everything ELSE 100% accurate. I stay silly :3
“Blue is a good color on you, my lady,” Jaime observed. “It goes well with your eyes.” She does have astonishing eyes.

this was mostly a chance for me to try and nail down the look I want to go for with womenswear in westeros. i’ve been wildly inconsistent up to this point because tbh I much prefer drawing menswear... but I want to draw a certain someone else in a dress so this was my practice >:)
What's up? i wanted to ask you if you’d want to draw bridgerton characters in the future?
I haven’t seen bridgerton and I probably won’t lol. I don’t really care for the regency era.
