Game of Thrones – Dany’s Wedding

Game of Thrones – Dany’s Wedding

We’re back to Daenerys again at her wedding party, nervous and alone. Martin was a little lax on the details so I kind of fudged things by merging the best of the three ceremonies together focusing on the fact that while Dany is the center of attention here, she’s primarily just a prop. She’s very aware of this fact.

After that, I tried to figure out what assorted Essossi looked like beyond “generic Italian Renaissance”. At the moment I’m doing Braavossi as mostly Venetian, dressed in black. I can’t show the Pentossi dyed bear but I tried to give them impressive beards that were worth dying. Finally, I gave the token Qohorik a Russian style hat.

The Dothraki Bloodrider in the foreground might be Khal Drogo, but I’m not committing to it. I still have trouble with the look of the Dothraki in general and I’m still finetuning it. Based on what I know about real pastoral nomads, I have problems with them looking like giant bodybuilders. I’m trying to make them as thin and wiry as Mr. Martin will allow.

So she sat alone in her wedding silks, nursing a cup of honeyed wine, afraid to eat and talking silently to herself.
