A Storm of Swords – Run For The Gate

A Storm of Swords – Run For The Gate

Arya desperately runs for the closing gate with the Hound right behind her.

for the most part, I think the design is… okay. In hindsight, I think it’s too similar to other Arya running scenes I’ve done.

I initially considered framing Arya with the Twins’ gate, but I couldn’t make it fit even after multiple tries. In hindsight, I could’ve done it from the Hound’s point of view as he runs her down but at the time I thought this was Arya’s story, and having Sandor behind her in full Hound made him something dark and scary again.

And Arya ran. Not for her brother now, not even for her mother, but for herself. She ran faster than she had ever run before, her head down and her feet churning up the river, she ran from him as Mycah must have run.
