Description My take on the Eyrie castle from ASoIaF. It was hard not to make it look too much like Ted Nasmith's Neuschwanstein-like visualization, because that one is obviously awesome!

I found inspiration on some other castles and monastries I've seen in the Alps and tried to go for a slightly uneven look, as if to suggest that it was built over decades, as it often happened with such big buildings back in the day.

 I must say that this is at least as good as Mr Nasmith's rendition and quite possibly even better than that!

This is the best depiction I've seen so far. Pretty much matches the imagination I got from the book description.

Hi!
I was wondering if you have given anyone permission to use your painting on a website called Stallet.se?

Hi, you're not the first person who told me this (...or are you the same person? XD) and to be honest, as I understand there's no money being made... I don't know there's much I can do about it, to be honest. Who are these people? How do I contact them? I don't require people to ask permission beforehand, but credit would be greatly appreciated, if there's a way to display it on the site.

I actually imagined it to be a lot like this! But I don't think it would have such beautiful white walls... It's awesome that way, though.

This is the closest to my idea of what the aerie looks like that I've seen. Great pic.

I love the blurry-ness of the sky and bluff, it really gives it an interesting quality!
