Description
Combining two of my loves, A Song of Ice and Fire and Eyvind Earle. This is Highgarden, home of House Tyrell, comfortably ensconced in the heart of the Reach, land of fair maids and chivalrous knights and general plenty.Earle's style was always very influenced by medieval art (also Japanese art), most people might recognize him as the head artist on Disney's Sleeping Beauty [link] . So I thought it would be appropriate because, seriously, if any castle in Westeros could be found in a Disney movie it would be Highgarden.

"A land of fair maids, chivalrous knights and general plenty"
In other words, the only place in the whole of Wetseros I'd willingly want to live in.

Cool concept! Never would have thought of Eyvind Earle and ASOIF together, but it works wonderfully!

Thank you! I always liked Earle's design for Sleeping Beauty so I like him for medieval-inspired settings I suppose.

Gorgeous! I'm not normally that bothered by landscapes but the style has won me over!

Thank you! I wish it was my own style, but then again copying can lead to something new eventually.

Sounding of Surf [link] always reminded me a tiny bit of Great Wave [link]

Very original. I think you just defined Highgarden in my mind's eye.

Er, I'm having bad luck with links tonight [link]

That's very flattering! But I am sure I probably had Ted Nasmith's Highgarden in the back of my mind somewhere [link]

It's cool to see such a stylized illustration from ASoIaF, I love it!

Honestly when I first got the itch to do fanart for this series, it was always to do pretty stylized things (particularly like Aubrey Beardsley). Most ASOIAF fanart is more realistic so my mental images have kind of shifted, but part of me still thinks in that way about it, I guess.

Heh, I came up with the idea really really late at night. Sleep dep is a very odd thing when it comes to my creativity.

This is beautiful and I love the style. I didn't know the name behind it but now I do and I love the Sleeping Beauty art!

Yeah, its a beautiful movie. The heroine doesn't do much but the animation and design is sublime, to me the most stylish Disney animation.
