Fantasy saves me from reality - reality can be to hard sometimes, to grey and too...real :). I love to open a good book and travel to the imaginary world of heroes and villains, but to be honest it is not always easy to find a good book in this genre. So one Christmas eve i got my first "Game of Thrones" book, i said "thanks" to the person who gave it to me because that is what people do when they have been given a present, but if i knew then that i was given the key to a new world, the beginning of a new reading Era, filled with amazing characters cunning against each other, best friends that turn on each other, battlefields filled with gore, blood, sadness and rage, heroes who die like normal people, (even if you think that some of them should not ever die "Long Live Eddard Stark!"), Dragons, Lions, Direwolves, Living-dead... and so on and on! Well if i knew then, that i was given all this i would have said more than "thanks".
After reading the first book, i could not stop, "Game of Thrones" was my fix, i needed to know more, to follow the life of my favorite characters, and in each book i found a new favorite one. Last year while i was waiting for the new book release, i found out that HBO was making a T.V series based on the books, i kind of got afraid then, cause i have seen too many good books transformed into really bad movies or series, but not this time, HBO "Game of Thrones" was good, i would almost say as good as the books, but a book will always be better :) I have been reading the last released book "A dance with Dragons" as slowly as i could, cause i am afraid of finishing it - then it can take some years until the next one comes out, but now at least i have got the HBO series to look forward too. Well all this just to tell you that i sketched one of my favorite characters "Daenerys Targaryen" the last of the Drangon lords, Khaleesi of the Dothraki, Mother of Dragons, The Unburnt.
So here she is, hope you like it!!
