SciFi and Fantasy Art: Winter is Coming

The Dire Wolf is the sigil of the Stark family in George RR Martin's 'Song of Ice and Fire' saga. And their motto is 'Winter is Coming.' A really great bunch of books that start with 'A Game of Thrones.' You really should go read them. Yes, I know they are thick books, but don't let that deter you. And by the time you read the first 3, book 4 should be published . . maybe.

This guy was intended for a sweatshirt from cafepress but I decided I'd spent enough on xmas stuff. Drew it in my sketch book then scanned and vectorized in PSP 8. Haha! I have discovered the secret of one piece Celtic vector knots! I wish that last foot was a bit whiter but I'm tired or trying to get the gradient fill to play nice.

For more great 'Game of Thrones' artwork check out Jenny Dolfen's page at http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/loth/g/o/goldseven/wp_direwolves_col.jpg.html This is the pic that made me go read them.

That´s a cool idea. The wolve´s head looks better than it is illustrated for the Trading Card Game.
Thumps up!

Very nice! I understand about the gradiants, they always wait until you're too tired to protest, and then they rebel.
Nice job on the knots, too!

Good solid line work. I like the concept too. Great work.

You know, if I weren't painfully broke (I am) I would SO try to comission you to put an "Ours is the Fury" banner on my shield. Yes. I have a shield. I'm a dorc.

:-) Meg L. Getrum replies: "Well, I don't have shield but my brother does (along with armor to wear with it). I've got the Targaryen 3 headed dragon in my sketchbook. I should do the Baratheon stag next. Dorcs unite! 2 "
