Rhapsodies

Inktober’s coming soon, and I’m very much looking forward to it. Since in my experience it has taken me about a week to get into my grove in past sketch challenges, I thought Id’ start warming up a bit with a little side project. In this case, I’ll be doing illustrations from the first book of George R R Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones. Picking a page at random for illustrations. Since A Song of Ice and Fire is loosely based on the War of the Roses, I’ll use the fifteenth century for most of my references, With any luck, this will mean it won’t look anything like the show or any of the other versions.

This isn’t an official Challenge. I’ll try to stick to it but I’m not going to beat myself up if I skip a few.

So anyway the first one is from chapter 50 with Catelyn returning to Riverrun where she runs into Theon While looking for Robb.

“Theon Greyjoy was seated on a bench in Riverrun’s Great Hall, enjoying a horn of ale and retailing her father’s garrison with an account of the slaughter in the Whispering Wood. “
