Hoping that you post an Asoiaf drawing sometime soon 💓 love your art

Thank you Anon, I hope so too...🥲

hello! i run a themed blog @lesserknownbutches where I post user-submitted characters from media that people feel are obscure or lesser-known butch people. would it be okay for me to use the image of aly mormont in this post https://www.tumblr.com/kraehenkunst/723741205756772352/not-enough-alyasha-content-by-the-old-gods-and

as an image for a submission? i would typically try to use a canon image, but book characters are notoriously non-image based and I really love your art of her.

in such a situation, I would make sure to credit you by mentioning your blog and linking the original post underneath the image before the caption of the post.

is this okay? if not, that is totally fine with me. have a great day regardless!

Yeah sure go ahead! That sounds like a fun blog :)

if you're european, you can go to this site, click on your country at the top bar, and it will tell you how to reach your representatives and also provides an already written script which you can simply copy and paste. alternatively, this google doc also provides scripts for different countries.

Not enough Aly/Asha content, by the old gods and the new, i'll change that 🫡

How long does it normally take you to finish a drawing? You just put in so much detail, that must take awhile :)

Oh that really depends on the style and level of finish I work towards. My most recent stuff, like Dany in Qarth or the Kings Landing fashion pieces each took around 6 hours. That is really quick for me, since I am on the slower side when it comes to drawing. I didn't add a final, sharper outline to those and avoided shading or backgrounds and I didn't put too much thought into the layout. Something like the Arya and the Stranger piece on the other hand... well, just take a look at my procreate statistics 😬

Ok I want to make it very clear: terfs/radfems/gender critics or whatever else you people want to call yourselves, you are not welcome on this blog. My art is not for you and if I see you interacting with my posts you will be blocked, fuck off

In Qarth

Hmmm actually, I like this enough to put it in my inprnt shop, take a look if you like :3

Cersei in her Rhaegar Cosplay and the original for comparison. Literally the funniest woman in Westeros, no one does it like her.

Playing dress-up with Roberts small council :)

Lord Bolton and his cupbearer 🩸

Any drawing tips? I'm in love with your drawing of people and I think you avoid same-face-syndrome very well :)

Hi! Thank you very much thats super nice of you!

I never really feel like I'm equipped to give art advise, because most of the time I don't really know what I'm doing either. But especially in regards to character design and same face syndrome, I feel like the number one mistake people make is trying to make every character pretty.

So many artists shy away from "ugliness", or even just stepping away from the beauty conventions they are used to. But like, perfection is so boring! And thats just not what human faces look like, the people around you don't look like marvel actors, they have big noses or double chins and their eyebrows are too thick or too thin etc. and thats what makes them recognizable as the people they are! So I guess my advise is: work with references, look at people on the bus and try to understand how their features work, and how they can be translated in your chosen medium. And look at other artists too, try finding out what you like about a work of art, try to replicate the parts you enjoy and see what works for you and what doesn't.

And don't get locked into a certain style, I think there is too much focus on that, especially on social media. You can't just form an artist identity from one day to the next and then be done with your journey. Its an evolution, and the best way to prevent artblock is to let go of the confines you have set yourself and to try something new.

All right ok, sorry that got so rambly.. umm. here is a sneakpeak of what im working on right now! ♥️

Jojen and Meera for the lovely Anons above, one of wich has send their ask over a year ago i'm afraid... sorry about that😐♥️

I took inspiration from Estonia for this one, firstly because of the beautiful traditional clothing. But it's also a country with lots of swamps and a climate that I think could very well match the Neck region :)

Brienne and Podrick in the Riverlands

I realized that I've never drawn a Brienne centric piece before, wich was frankly a shame. Once again, very inpired by Ivan Bilibin and old fairytale illustrations.

get the print here!

Wynafryd and Wylla Manderly

Arya and Lady Stoneheart/the Brotherhood without banners. Oh god, I started this over a year ago, and I still really like it, its just so much work to finish it :(

this asshole from back when I was trying my hand at animation

O.O <—eyes emoji!

Dany and Jhiqui. This one I kinda want to finish but its been sitting in my drafts for a Year already, so i'll post it :)
