Description
Done for the "Winter is Coming" group show featured at LTD Gallery in Seattle in March, and then also displayed at Emerald City Comic Con after the gallery show finished its run.
I chose the central character because in a group show, I figured some of the more popular characters in the series would be over represented in the art on display, as the artists all wanted to produce something that would likely have universal appeal, which always help make a purchase more likely. Because of this, Renly Baratheon would likely not get a lot of visibility, despite being an important character early in the series, so this would help the work stand out in a room full of amazing art done by some incredibly talented artists.
It's also a re-working of an image that I created for the card game years ago, and was really happy with the concept, but felt the final work wasn't really as good as it could have been. So I used it as an opportunity to revisit the idea with a more modern take, a more graphic style, and without the kind of deadline that sometimes accompanies collectible card art.
