Rhapsodies

The arrival of the Karstarks game a little bit of a headache. The scene is actually taking place in Maester Luwin’s tower with Bran watching in his telescope. So ideally I should have that as a picture. However, I’d already done a picture of the interior of Luwin’s tower, and I couldn’t think of how to show any of what Bran is looking at through the window. Besides, Bran is in his basket at the moment and I wanted to save him some dignity for now.

I was hoping to show the scale of Robb showing the banners but ultimately I thought it was easier just showing the Karstarks. I rather like how Rickard Karstark turned out. He looks driven and obsessive, a potential thorn in Robb’s side even before things go south. (unintentional pun realized just as I typed it.)
