Another. Trying a more painterly approach. 100% Photoshop.
oh Florian!
Sansa praying in the godswood…someone is probably sneaking up on her with ill intentions. 
Actually, it was my intention to draw just that but I just used a tree branchy background, instead.

the Field: Anne, Percy, Francois, Mary & Henry
Character designs for my project, the Field (from left to right): Anne Boleyn, Henry Percy, Francois I of France, Mary Boleyn, and Henry VIII of England.
something old…
Nope not new, and it’s not blue or borrowed, either. I haven’t posted in a while, not because I don’t want to, but because I am working on some Tudor sketches (which I shall discuss later when they are ready, and not here where I’m feeling compelled to gush about them in an unrelated entry), which should be posted soon. I spent a lot of the weekend coloring.
So I’ve decided in between posting new work that CLEARLY I should be posting old work that’s just sitting around hoping I’ll look at it again. BECAUSE OMIGOSH I HAVE SO MUCH OF IT.
THIS drawing I did in 2010. I never liked how the bottom of her hair came out…it’s too swirly dumb and graphic against the more hilariously epic realistic drapery that I do like. But I forgive it.
Medusa
Let’s for a moment imagine that Medusa took to her snakes rather well and was also a bit of a siren who seduced men to their deaths…
…or, women. She was probably always hungry.
a Victorian lady…
I drew this Victorian lady in my sketchbook in pencil, then brought it into Photoshop to color it and add prints to the fabric. Original no-name character.
Anne concept
I’ve long had an Anne Boleyn graphic novel stuck in my head for a while. I keep debating if I want to attempt to be serious (in which case, who will buy it according to publishers), or sell out and make it really sexy…which would also be way fun to draw.
Anyway, Anne concept…ballpoint pen in my sketchpad.
Ardee and Caurib
I was sort of amazed it took so long to get more female characters into Joe Abercrombie’s first book of The First Law trilogy, The Blade Itself.
Ardee is pretty darn worth the wait, and I just liked Caurib’s nasty description, not to mention the way Bayaz entirely subdued her, but then later gave her a wee more credence. I find myself waiting excitedly for the Ardee parts more and more…
Now of course, I’m about less than a hundred pages from finishing the first book and we have a couple more ladies. The deadly Ferro, vicious Terez, wimpy Ardiss (Ardiss doesn’t really count but she sounds amusing to draw)…
Characters are from The First Law trilogy and belong to Joe Abercrombie.
poor Jorah…
I had to draw this A Clash of Kings scene after weeks of hunky Iain Glen’s performances on A Game of Thrones. I can literally see him burying his undying love painfully every time he’s about to speak to Dany. It’s marvelous.
This, however, is book Jorah. Jorah in his stocky, dark, hairy fineness. Poor Jorah. As if to pour salt in his wounds, in the books Qartheen gowns left one breast exposed. A man can only last so long.
