looks like a young Catelyn, very very beautiful
i'd love to read a few books that take place 10-20 years before song of ice and fire!

GRRM has written a prequel to ASOIAF called "Dunk and Egg". Takes place about 90 years before hand and is a series. Very cool, though a bit farther back than you may be looking for.

I'm still on the first book, but so far Catelyn is a great character. My friend always groans when her chapters come up, but I like them.Β

Me too, I like her chaptersΒ

Great, not too old but not too young. I feel like Catelyn was portrayed a bit too old in the show. This is more of what I pictured her in my mind when I read the books.Β

They mess around with the ages far too much in the show. Lord and Lady Stark should only be i their mid thirties at the start. And now they are saying Jamie and Cersie are closing in on 40 implying that Ser Jamie is over the hill when they are 5 years younger than Ned and Robert.

This is precisely the way I imagined her looking. Beautiful choice in palette.

Oh, it looks way more like what I imagine than the TV series actress

Let me say that these are all great. The banners, colors, and styles for each one are excellent. I also think you're really good at drawing attractive females. However, you can't honestly believe every woman in Westeros is of the same race, build, and beauty so why do you portray the characters like that? Some of these women have darker skin (Obara, Arianne, and Elia). Some are past the point of their youth (Lysa, Catelyn, Cersei, and Melisandre). Some are exceptionally comely (Lyanna, Margaery, and Daenarys) while others have more physical sex appeal about them (Cersei, Shae, Taena, and Asha).
Again, before I continue, let me say that despite the fact I think you portrayed some of these characters inaccurately, they are all drawn very well and look great. Now time for the nazi segment where I tell you exactly what you did wrong for each person. Most of my statements are probably incorrect but I'll voice my criticisms nonetheless... These are the specific things that got to me the most:
1. Arya is supposed to have a long horse face; not a heart-shaped one
2. Taena and Arianne are supposed to be curvy, voluptuous, and sexy (e.g. thicker builds & larger breasts)
3. Asha is supposed to have black hair and a charming smile but is cursed with a large beak of a nose
4. Obara is supposed to have a heavy-set warrior build (I pictured her more with large breasts and thick arms)
5. The Dornish are supposed to look anywhere between Arabic & Spanish with some variation; not European
6. Cersei, Catelyn, and Lysa are all at least in their mid-thirties; their complexions should show their age
Other than that, I don't have a problem with any deviations. Don't get me wrong though. Some things you got down pat: the Targaryen look β’ the Tully look β’ Obara's close-set eyes & brown hair β’ Elia's physical fragility β’ Tyene's fair skin & blonde hair β’ Myrcella and Dany's youthful appearance β’ Brienne's freckles & jacked-up mouth β’ Melisandre's heart-shaped face β’ Ygritte's pug nose & gap in her teeth β’ Lyanna's Stark features β’ Nymeria's black hair & pale skin β’ Margaery's curly hair β’ Walda's fat build & massive breasts β’ etc

Also, I feel the need to note that, beyond the artists personal style and growth, she has much more variation in age and complexion than you give her credit for. Example: [link]

Lol I'm reading it over and I'm not quite sure what inspired me to type all that garbage up. Apologies to the artist. Looks to me I was just trying to prove how much of an ASoIaF snob I was...

Shouldn't these critiques be reserved for art in which an artist has specifically requested such? I'm not saying that your observations aren't valid, but it comes across as rude and even a bit snooty. Forgive me for not being able to express myself in a more tactful way.

All her characters are actually skin colorless, not white. Look at the Dornish girls. That's just her style.

Love it! Exactly how I imagined her to be, but maybe with red hair...

I absolutely love this! I'm just going to fav all of your ASoIaF paintings because they're absolutely amazing!! (Gonna skip the ones I don't know yet though - I still have to read the last two books)
You're seriously SO talented!

All Tullys are redheads according to the books!

My mistake then, in the italian translation her hair are described as black.

Oh, pretty bad mistake.. I hate translation mistakes they happen too often!

hihi .... i know that this is catelyn but its cateyln tully..... i mean ... catelyn stark ... a little maybe older version ^^
would be interested ^^ hihi
XD

Oh, I see! ;D Well, according to the books and the ages described there she wasn't that old... I mean since Robb was ONLY 14 and most girls were married at around 13-14, let's say that Cat's wedding got delayed because of the war (and the death of Brandon) she was about 16-17, +14 she is hardly in her mid-thirties maybe younger.. But those ages seem so unnatural to us because it refers to the Medieval ages when things were much different.. (I mean I can't really imagine Danaerys to be 13, just a child)...

i like your interpretation of catelyn, because i think that she looks looks too old in the series. your drawing also reminds me of a girl of germanys next topmodel, except the haircolor. [link]
π: 0 β©: 1
jejeje...maybe....but i don't think she looks like these girl!

catelyn looks strong and mature, and the girl in the show also knew what she wants

Your art is beautiful ! when do we gonna see some more ASoIaF ladies ?
π: 0 β©: 1
no, but i think that in the tv serie she is to much old. I imagined her like a young and strong mother...
π: 0 β©: 1
yep, in the tv serie nearly everybody looks older. in the books she must be in the middle 30ies
π: 0 β©: 1
I think it's because of the kids. Everyone is so young in the book, but to film the series I think they had to bring up the age because of its contents.

Its really stunning! Is the model from the book (aka like you imagined it while reading), or from the series (aka the actor)?

is my personal version
