Game of Thrones – Bloodflies
For today’s illustration, we have a picture of Khal Drogo deathly ill, covered with bloodflies and about to fall off his horse.
This is my first picture of Khal Drogo. While he might have been in the Dany’s Wedding picture, this is the first time it is definitely him. Forcing me to figure out what he looks like. As I’ve mentioned before, much as I like Jason Mamoa, I have a huge problem of showing the Dothraki as huge bodybuilders. I went for tall and lanky. I also tried to show as much Dothraki craft as possible with leatherwork and macrame. My only mistake I think is I forgot to include a lot of his jewelry… Let’s just say he’s been ill and forgot to put them on.
One of the bloodflies landed on the bare skin of the Khal’s shoulders another, circling, touched down on his neck and crept up toward his mouth. Khal Drogo swayed in the saddle, bells ringing, as his stallion kept onward at a steady walking pace.
