Just Noticed Radfems In My Notes So I Should Say I Hate Terfs And You Are Not Welcome Here.

Ygritte commission for @jaehaeryshater 🩵

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

I would destroy to see some standalone art of Jon Snow (if you want)- your art style is so beautiful.

I WILL! >:) I actually already had a wip going but literally just last night I discovered some art of him that was uncannily similar… so I’m scrapping and starting over for the sake of not looking like I copied the other artist </3 but rest assured he will show up eventually

hello!!! recently i’ve started reading asoiaf, in part bc i was so bewitched by your artwork! you’re really really talented! i love you depiction of the characters, i cannot imagine them any other way now.

what i wanted to ask is, what do you use to draw? (ipad, drawing pad X, etc.. i don’t know any names pf things actually im just saying words) if you tell me i would be very grateful, thank you!!

hello!! wow!! I am touched and I hope you enjoy the books as much as I have :)

currently I use an ipad pro and apple pencil with the procreate app! I hope that helps!

YOUR ART IS AWESOME!!! I love seeing some book inspired designs!! like dude this might be my fav account i've found on here!!

thank you!! I am extremely late to books and fandom I think but regardless grrm cannot stop me from getting my grimy hands on his characters

Are your pattern brushes for sale?

they aren’t, I’m sorry! but they’re very simple to make. I don’t have any special brush making skills in fact u could probably say the opposite

some wildlings (including mance for an anon a while ago!) + jon

the Stark Sisters

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!

The queen wore a high-collared black silk gown, with a hundred dark red rubies sewn into her bodice, covering her from neck to bosom. They were cut in the shape of teardrops, as if the queen were weeping blood.
