So finally Game of Thrones season 2 is out!!
It was a long and hard time waiting for it, but it was totally worth it, the first episode was as good as i expected, to short to be honest :D, The man of the North are back and marching south, the Wolf wants revenge upon the Lion, The Nightwatch is marching north of the wall to a greater danger than the games of the south, in every corner of the seven kingdoms we have a new self-proclaimed King, and even some new and strange Gods. This episode was really a build up to a great season o Game of Thrones.
When you play the Game of Thrones you win or you die!
I could not let it pass without a little sketch, so here it is "Ghost" the Direwolf!
Well my friends, Ned is gone, John is on the wall and he is not a Stark anymore, well he never was actually, what i meant is that he is a man of the Night Watch now, the Crows are his new family. Bran is a cripple that dreams about 3 eyed birds, Wilds are fleeing to the south telling tales of the White Walkers, Rob is marching against the false king, the Imp just escaped alive his first battle and far away from Vesteros the Dragon Queen is rising from the ashes.
Season 2 of "The Game of Thrones" will be on air April 1st, and me like millions of fans can't wait any longer, this is going to be crazy!
I will not spoil it for the ones that did not read the books, but let me tell you, that if you liked season I, well that was just the beginning, Winter is coming and is not a mild one. I could not let to illustrate some of my favorite characters, and they are the "House of Stark" but stil are many others, so stay tuned, i will probably come with some new Game of Thrones illustrations soon again :D
"You know nothing John Snow!"
It has been some years now since i started reading this books. I started my travel into the Fantasy world with Tolkien many years ago and since then i did not read anything else than fantasy.
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!!
"Winter is coming"
