A Storm of Swords – Arrest

A Storm of Swords – Arrest

Davos is arrested by the queen’s guard for the attempted murder of Melisandre.

I had fun designing Axell Florent. One thing I’ve been trying to do for these illustrations is if they’re not actually on the field not to dress people in a military manner, wearing appropriate clothes. In the process, I stumbled over the perfect hat for Axell I think fits his personality perfectly. It’s one of those hats (and knows this because I own a few) where you think it makes you look cool and distinguished, but, it makes you look like a complete twit.

On another note, I was so tempted to add a scene with Davos and Edric Storm, but I think I was afraid I’d already done enough pictures in this chapter.

Fortunately, as I was doing this, I realize that Edric had not left the scene) yet.

“I have come to take you to the dungeon.” Ser Axell waved his men forward. “Seize him, and take his dirk. He means to use it on our lady.”
