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
