By the way, Cubicz will be part of an episode I have planned in the future, Re: Artists of APOIAF, I will offer a guest host position to some of our top artists for this episode Cubicz has his spot offered (so do Vietrose, PieWhoWasPromised, and Dickon, if the latter's time zone issues can be overcome), who else wants to take a shot?

You should have a 'good' artist episode and a 'terrible' artist episode. I fall into the later category.

jesicka should be part of it - she is their "manager"...

Nah Brynden, they should leave the spot open for one of the true artists who've done fan art. I just nag people to draw pictures.

I would like to have a personal avatar drawn of me that I can use in these forums and elsewhere. Send me a PM if you have the skills to do so, we can discuss details of it. Compensation is my gratitude, mentioning/hosting on our gallery (and its use) and guest hosting as part of the recurring Artists of Ice and Fire episodes I have planned

Mine is by Varsuuvius/Dickon - I just sent her the idea and she came up with it. It is soo great! Although I fear sometimes I have to re-word my posts because otherwise it would come cross just too grumpy...

Good example of APOIAF developed subculture being put to art (by Lex):



Feel free to be inspired by other theories and memes to create similar art (may even find its way into one of the future art books)

I think there is an episode where Mimi says she's the Beryl to Kyle's Sailor Moon. Think that would be a good portrait setup. If the rest of us are in it, then I can be Tuxedo Mask then, not sure what Ashley wants to go with.

Would be cool to see what I dubbed Bran's and Bloodraven's "Tree-net" in artistic form sometime

Once I get going, I just can't help myself. Here is a graphic compilation of some of APOIAF's finer theories.

Yes, I know some of these theories have already been represented in previous art endeavors, but I was compelled to contribute my vision as well. I hope others still feel free to use components of these theoretical imaginings in their future chapter recaps and other art projects wherever applicable.

Lol, crazy stuff. I'll get that out on our social mediums right away. We'll have to get that print in the artbooks somewhere as well, lol. Maybe the massively huge artbook that Storm of Swords is shaping up to be.

Pretty awesome Pod!

That looks awesome, Pod. I especially like the booby trapped saddle and the blood oranges one.

Questions for you

Jemaine, from "Flight of the Concords," knows the importance of "Business Socks."



True, it isn't a apoiaf reference, but I always like to mix in various pop culture nuggets. For example, there is also a nod to "The Wire" in there.

The alternate reason for the socks is that I didn't want to draw any more feet/toes. Creatively and pragmatically it just made sense to me.

This cracks me up everytime I see it!
