Description
This is an illustration for Fantasy Flight Games collectible card game named A Game of Thrones, which is based on the world of best-selling author George R.R. Martinβs A Song of Ice & Fire. This belongs to the A Time of Ravens Edition.
The character is Ser Arthur Dayne, the deadliest of the 7 knights of Aerysβs kingsguard. The sword is named "Dawn".
Illustrations for card games like this always have short deadlines, and are supposed to be viewed on a smaller scale than here.
Do not use this art!

really looks like the other side of the crossguard should be visible above the picture's lower edge, too.
otherwise, very good portrait.

I have always been really intrigued by this character due to the fact that he had been so highly revered by both Eddard Stark and Jaime Lannister.
Sure hope in future Martin touches more on this character and the happenings at the Tower of Joy.
Such beautiful work. Love this!

The guardian of Lyanna Stark, but the question is: Why is a member of the Kingsguard keeping her?

I don't think they were protecting Lyanna, she didn't need protection. But someone else did if you run with a certain theory with Jon.

Excellent job like usual, but the sword seems a bit too different from the person.

That is wonderful. You get the characters looking so realistic it's unbelievable.

IT is wonderfully done - esp. with that reduced color palette

I don't think so, according to the world of R.R. Marting. I was wondering the same myself. I think it's a special title they are using in this universe or something.
Now I'm curious too, have to find out :-P

You're fine, it's Martin's Westerosi version of "Sir", all the knights in the series go by "Ser".
Great job on this and all your new pieces, are there more coming?

I see.
But i'm pretty sure it's translated as "Sir" in my country

LOL, I see! Is that Poland, I'm guessing? That's probably good that they didn't put it as "Ser" in your books then.

Aye, Polland. Good guess!

Well I looked on your profile page and saw the .pl on your webpage address, so it was a guess with a little cheating!

Hehe, I always do the same

Aha, thanks for clearing that up :-D
Yeah, lots of stuff coming. I made these a looong time ago. I have batches of things waiting to be showcased, but I have to wait for product release dates because of my NDA

Too cool, I love when all the cards go up on dA, my favorite time(s) of the year. I like the theme of this new batch, and how they're splitting up the cards differently now than they used to -- I don't play the game but I love the art and its cool to follow it this way too.

The hilt works much better here than in the previous, where it seemed awfully flat. Here is dances in the light.
