A Storm of Swords – The Oath
I think the Night’s Watch repeating their oath is a good way to start the third installment of my Song of Ice and Fire sketch challenge, don’t you?
Though, when you stop to think about it, Lord Mormont’s speech has a bit of a “let’s show those wogs a taste of British steel, wot?” quality to it. Even without the Others, they’re up against a Zulu/Little Big Horn situation.
It almost makes one tempted to take Chett’s side.
My main problem with this piece came when I realized that drawing a crowd of men dressed in black at dusk was not one of my better ideas. Happily, I managed to keep everybody visible, but this one’s on my “do it properly in color” list.
