I Love That Your Brienne Always Has Braids In Her Hair

Inspired by this post

lady catelyn

Aegon VI and Rhaenys Targaryen, children of Elia and Rhaegar ☀️🐉

My commission by the wonderful and talented @shripscapi thank you so much!

ppl keep talking about the hands on this one so I am going to let you in on a secret: I just took a picture of my own hands as reference. you, too, can do this to make your life easier… <3

The queen wore a high-collared black silk gown, with a hundred dark red rubies sewn into her bodice, covering her from neck to bosom. They were cut in the shape of teardrops, as if the queen were weeping blood.

“Blue is a good color on you, my lady,” Jaime observed. “It goes well with your eyes.” She does have astonishing eyes.

tommen is going to be FINE. don’t even worry.

Commission of Dany in Rhaegar’s armor! I thought this one was such a great concept and I loved working on the armor design <3

hello, i started reading asoiaf a few days ago and found your blog whilst looking for fanart! i fell in love with your work IMMEDIATELY. the portraits of your ocs inspired by tapestries are soooo lovely! i know sharing ocs can be a bit nerve-wracking but i promise i find them incredibly interesting and i'm sure others do as well <3 i've been watching the borgias recently and couldn't help but think of it when i saw them. hope you have a lovely day :)

thank you!! I hope you enjoy asoiaf hehe <3 it is such a good series I wish I hadn’t held out on reading it so long

I actually tried to watch the borgias recently and I just couldn’t do it…I thought the writing was kind of.. bad. and also seeing them give every dress and empire waist was really painful. if it gets better maybe I will persist…

that being said THANK u. they’re set not too long after that period so the vibes are definitely similar :)

as a slav your interpretation of asoiaf fashion is soooooo beautiful and cool and fitting and your style does slav inspired clothing so much justice. your art is genuinely a bowl of warm soup to my soul and soft cotton fabric to my skin. your mind and skill ❤ hope all is well

thank u SOO much this is so sweet and lovely :’) mwah mwah <33

Early holiday present for myself and my readers :3

(Also, I’m planning to update Compromise this weekend, assuming I don’t get struck by a sudden catastrophe.)

I loved my Velargirls artwork by @shripscapi so much that I went and got the Targbros done too!

Details I want to gush over:

Aemond

His sapphire! I imagine in-universe people asked him if he would prefer to wear his eyepatch for the portrait, but by this time in his character growth he went “fuck it, I have a sapphire eye, just show it in the painting.”

Embroidery details on his collar! They’re based on traditional Greek motifs which remind me of waves.

Dragon scale pattern on his shirt! The jade green color is an homage to Vhagar, who is supposedly jade green (according to official sources) even though she looks brown on screen. 🧐

Breastplate and stance are supposed to convey that he’s a military man. He has that sapphire blue sash for a bit of pizzazz. Overall we didn’t want him being too fancy and ostentatious, because that isn’t his style, but we still wanted him to look princely.

His sword is Siren Song, as described in Compromise. So he does get his hands on it again eventually. 🤧

Aegon

Jace 100% picked his outfit for the portrait (to coordinate with her own).

Red is a prominent color to emphasize his Targaryen-ness. I also wanted gold for Sunfyre and themes. But I was afraid of red and gold being too Lannister, so we added some white into the mix.

Big chain! Aegon is contractually required to wear chains in fanart. 😂

Aegon’s outfit is the fanciest of the brothers, because as the consort of the future queen he has standards to uphold. #trophyhusband

The flower crown was shripscapi’s idea! Originally I wanted him holding a wrapped gift intended for Jace but wasn’t sure how to convey that. So shripscapi suggested a flower crown that matches the rose Jace is holding, to imply that Jace plucked her flower from the crown. 🥰 Aegon isn’t one to participate in tourneys, but he might be tempted for the chance to crown Jace as Queen of Love and Beauty. 🌹

Daeron

Face reference is Jack Cunningham-Nuttall, who was one of the actors theorized to be Daeron before S2 crushed our hopes and dreams.

We went for a more scholarly appearance for Daeron, who spent a few years studying and training in Oldtown. The robe he wears is apparently a style prevalent among scholars historically.

He isn’t planning to be a septon, but he is fairly devout to the Faith so he wears the seven-pointed star pendant. His book is also supposed to be the book The Seven-Pointed Star.

Cobalt blue is his dominant color, along with some copper accents like the pendant in his hat, because Tessarion. He also wears a bit of red to coordinate with Joff. We wanted the boys to coordinate with the girls because…

Tadaaa! Look at them, they’re all so gorgeous. 😭 Jace and Aegon match the most. Luce and Aemond share a whole spectrum of blues and greens. Joff and Daeron contrast the most without clashing; also, I love their polar opposite books.

And now the whole group. 🙇🏻‍♀️
