I L O V E your illustrations! This is incredible!!!

And again, thank you for the careful watch. Yes, there are no tree faces next to Arya and Lady Stoneheart, because at this stage of their stories their lives are more focused around the new gods, than the old - Arya creates her own prayer and Catylyn owes a lot to R'hllor. I put them both most far away from Bran's face deliberatly, because I think that at this point even his late father and brother are closer to him than his turned into a monster mother and sister, who has renounced everything that was her home. Sansa and Jon still worship the old gods (Sansa prays also to the new, but the old still connect her with her past, so I decided to show her in the scene of building snow Winterfell rather than praying), and Rickon is probably still too small to understand the issue of faith to the end, so here more than in tree face, he is interested in red leaves, which also remind him of his lost home.

you're welcome

yes, I thought it might be something along those lines, but the faces next to Ned and Robb had me a bit confused. So, thank you for the explanation, makes perfect sense

I wish I could favorite this a million more times. Everything about it is so. damn. perfect. This is definitely in my top favorite ASOIAF pieces ever.
Bran as the tree? Ugh p e r f e c t
And Lady Stoneheart and Sansa in the snow with Winterfell and (sob) Robb and Nedd under the ground help
Just lovely I love your art style and composition and and and just perfect

WOW. This is another gorgeous ASoIaF illustration from you, once again.

Absolutely love the both the concept and composition of this awesomely detailed piece.

Truly amazing piece of work, bubug.

And even though I have yet to complete reading ADwD... love where you decided to placed Bran (with his third eye) in this illustration.

I discovered your work yesterday and I'm still amazed by it. This is by far my favorite piece, and I love how much work you put into the details. I spended the ten minutes trying to discover everything tangled within the three, and it's really great when an artist is capable of making the viewer interact so much with the art itself. The fact that Bran was the tree was particulary well thought and extremely moving.

But... I have to ask you something. I'm still looking for Robb! Is he in the picture? Jesus, I'm looking into everything and I still didn't found him! D:

For Robb you have to look somewhere at the bottom.

You deserve it! Your work is fantastic and I'm completely in love with it.

And, dear lord, now I feel a little bit stupid? I thought the person with the blueish-green cloak at the botton was Catelyn (I thought you had portrayed her as Catelyn AND as Lady Stoneheart), but now I feel like I figured everything out! The dead ones are under the ground (Ned, Robb, Greywind and Lady), Bran is the tree and Summer is next to him, and Arya, Jon, Sansa and Cat/Stoneheart are between the leafs! There, I think I figured out now your amazing riddle!

Again, thank you for making such beautiful art. Trying to discover everyone in this piece was delighful and I'm looking forward to see more things made by you!

bubug In reply to t-funster [2012-09-08 09:55:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I can see now that the blueish (like Tully blue) cloak might be confusing, in addition my Robb upside down actually looks quite feminine, so don't be too hard on yourself. Apparently I didn't thought about everything as thoroughly as I thought - thing to improve in the future.

"and Arya, Jon, Sansa and Cat/Stoneheart are between the leafs!"
Let's not forget about poor Rickon, it still happens too often

Gods be good, this is the most detailed art I've eve seen in this fandom, and House Stark in this shines pretty well in their heart of winter, and sweet Catelyn stonhearting is so creepy even in here. What a true masterpiece. And the reigns of living and dead, beautiful, astonishing, no words to describe fully the extents of the perfect portrait of the most broken yet close family in Westeros.

bubug In reply to PottyGlee [2012-09-07 19:41:49 +0000 UTC]

I really like your take on the Starks, you described them better than I showed. I remember that when I started reading the third book, I was so absolutely sure that at the end there must be some kind of family reunion, two volumes of complete misery already seemed to be too much. Yeah, what a sweet summer child I was...
Thank you very much for your comment.
