A Clash of Kings – The Prisoners

A Clash of Kings – The Prisoners

Oh, I’ve been looking forward to drawing this one! Here is our official introduction of Mr. Jaqen H’ghar Esq. and his band of fellow prisoners, Rorg and Biter.

Despite having the image firmly in my head for several days, I had a terrible time with Jaqen’s pose and ended doing it over several times. I’m still not completely happy with it. Fortunately, however, the bars of the cage hide my worst offenses.

On a side note, I’ve been having this idea for a totally crack fanfic that I just can’t shake. It imagines Sansa being the one dragged across the Riverlands. While traveling she manages to tame all three… gentlemen. Obviously, I know this is beyond unlikely. I think it’s because I’ve been rereading the Oz books lately and Dorothy’s purity is getting into my head.

In today's Clash of Kings illustration, Arya meets Jaqen H'gar and his fellow prisoners.
