Description
Winter is already here...My sketchy entry for the "Winter is coming" contest.
A character from "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R. R. Martin.
Photoshop and Wacom tablet. Loosely based on a photo of Harry Lloyd.
FULL VIEW PLEASE
Edit: Sharpened his features a bit (I know that I'm the only one who can see the difference)

I love this depiction of him. In his true age and close to how he's been described. Definitely one of my favorite works of him so far.

Nailed it.
I personally have always thought that they did a fantastic job with casting on the series, but this looks a lot more like the 15-16 year old bastard to me!

Not pleased with the guy who got the part in the HBO series, your Jon is probably the closest to the one I had in my head when I read the books <3

yeah, same here. I guess a part of it too is that the there's a big age gap from the actors and the ages of the character's in the book.

Nice one! It looks a bit like Edmund from The Chronicles of Narnia. However, I like it... and I can't wait for the HBO's series.

Whoa, I'm liking the texture in the many little brush strokes! Looks especially good in the shading of his face, and the fur collar.

Wonderful job on the proportions! I like the sketchy look too, it's overall a very expressive piece.
Um, who's Harry Lloyd?

Thank you! He is an actor, someone suggested him as Jon Snow in some "casting thread"

Otherlander In reply to jekaa [2009-07-20 10:28:01 +0000 UTC]
Apparently, Harry Lloyd has indeed been cast in the aSoIaF series, but as Viserys, not Jon. I've never heard of the actor they cast as Jon, but I think he looks right It's all on GRRM's "Not a blog", [link]
