Description
For critique purposes: I'd mostly like feedback on composition and unity and color, but if there's anything else I'm all ears!------------------------------------
Pencil Club Daily Deviation, 2008.Jan.23 -- thank you!
Spoilers from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire below. If you haven't read the books A) be wary and B) READ THEM!! You won't regret it, great plot, great setting, great characters, really has some fun riffs on the fantasy genre. Okay, spoilers, consider yourself warned. Really, don't read any further if you don't know the story! (Actually it occurs to me that the title was probably a spoiler, so I took it out ... but it's still in the picture so ... you're probably still spoilered ... hrmm, I don't think I thought this through very well.)

This is Catelyn Stark after her husband's death, I wanted to imply her remembering different things from their life: welcoming a baby, an executioner's axe, their goodbye in the brothel, crows circling skulls mounted on a castle balcony (though that's technically not a memory, I guess), Winterfell from a distance (I think I wanted it to be her arrival there), and the hired knife sent to kill Bran. I wanted to bring out her longing for their life together alongside the series of events that led to his death.
My first color pencil portrait ever, could be better but could be worse!
Progress .
Character © George R.R. Martin, please don't sue me I'm very very poor!

Thanks so much for checking it out, I appreciate it! I really tried to make the composition balanced, I think I could've done better but I learned some things (I hope). I think it's done for now (finally!).

This is so so so beautiful, and so like Catelyn. I really do like Catelyn, and this really shows her beauty and fragility

Very very nice! Try to merge contures so that they are not so visible! B ut if you are trying to make it more like secession, than it is great!

Wow, this is great Catelyn.
I think the image really fits with her character.
Anatomically? I read on one site about pencil portrait (here - [link] ) that nose sticks out more, but I like it this way, and every face is different.
It fits pretty much with my picture of character.

very nice blending and usage of colors and expressions.
I definetly think GRRM would post this on his website if you sent it to him. Simply stunning. It almost makes me like Catelyn (almost.)

And I like her too.

Very expressive and great job on the shading. I can't wait to see the final version...Is she Catelyn? Because if she is, I like her too, very much (but only the living version of her, that is)
