tysm!! that is very kind :) there are drawings I don’t like as much anymore but overall I have had sm fun drawing asoiaf stuff and there are a lot that i DO like which is a win for me 💪 and I feel like I have barely scratched the surface of all there is to draw in the books
Aegon VI and Rhaenys Targaryen, children of Elia and Rhaegar ☀️🐉
My commission by the wonderful and talented @shripscapi thank you so much!
hii sorry if i didn't see this but are commissions back up again? ty!!
no they’re not, I’m sorry :(
I deleted the post because I’m not sure when/if I’m going to open them again and if I do I definitely need to adjust prices.
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 :)
your art is wonderful! i really like how you draw Brienne! Your Shireen is the cutest thing i've ever seen ahh!
thank u!! there are a lot of characters I like but brienne stays #1 💪 and shireen is so sweet I had to draw her <3

my gorgeous commission by @shripscapi! take a peek under the cut for the historical references she reworked so beautifully.
i have always maintained targaryen fashion should be byzantine inspired, and that was my request to liesl. she works so brilliantly with historical costuming, and in her portraits of renaissance fashions captures the sense of a contemporary portrait - and that’s what i wanted here, the spirit of a real historical work of art. i sent her two images of mosaics of byzantine empresses, theodora from the basilica of san vitale in ravenna (left) and irene of hugary from the hagia sophia in constantinople (right). both commemorate donations to churches, and the foundation of a religious institution at the height of the realm’s prosperity under jaehaerys and alysanne’s rule and a demonstration of good will between crown and faith after the adoption of the doctrine of exceptionalism is something alysanne as queen consort absolutely might do.
as byzantine empresses reshaped the face of imperial constantinople as patrons of its religious and civic architecture, it is fun to imagine the continuing interactions of the targaryens shaping their capital city. the women are included in wider family groupings - imagine alysanne and alyssa and maegelle etc offscreen - communicating the female face of imperial/royal power. here is saera at 16, on the verge of being brutally discarded as incommensurate with that correct feminine image, as indeed not a few byzantine princesses were. exactly the vibe of a lovely and haunting historical document of a woman’s life in the snare of power i’ve encountered in many a museum or palace that i was going for, which makes the story of saera’s disgrace resonate so strongly.
