How long does it normally take you to finish a drawing? You just put in so much detail, that must take awhile :)

Oh that really depends on the style and level of finish I work towards. My most recent stuff, like Dany in Qarth or the Kings Landing fashion pieces each took around 6 hours. That is really quick for me, since I am on the slower side when it comes to drawing. I didn't add a final, sharper outline to those and avoided shading or backgrounds and I didn't put too much thought into the layout. Something like the Arya and the Stranger piece on the other hand... well, just take a look at my procreate statistics 😬

Ok I want to make it very clear: terfs/radfems/gender critics or whatever else you people want to call yourselves, you are not welcome on this blog. My art is not for you and if I see you interacting with my posts you will be blocked, fuck off

Cersei in her Rhaegar Cosplay and the original for comparison. Literally the funniest woman in Westeros, no one does it like her.

Any drawing tips? I'm in love with your drawing of people and I think you avoid same-face-syndrome very well :)

Hi! Thank you very much thats super nice of you!

I never really feel like I'm equipped to give art advise, because most of the time I don't really know what I'm doing either. But especially in regards to character design and same face syndrome, I feel like the number one mistake people make is trying to make every character pretty.

So many artists shy away from "ugliness", or even just stepping away from the beauty conventions they are used to. But like, perfection is so boring! And thats just not what human faces look like, the people around you don't look like marvel actors, they have big noses or double chins and their eyebrows are too thick or too thin etc. and thats what makes them recognizable as the people they are! So I guess my advise is: work with references, look at people on the bus and try to understand how their features work, and how they can be translated in your chosen medium. And look at other artists too, try finding out what you like about a work of art, try to replicate the parts you enjoy and see what works for you and what doesn't.

And don't get locked into a certain style, I think there is too much focus on that, especially on social media. You can't just form an artist identity from one day to the next and then be done with your journey. Its an evolution, and the best way to prevent artblock is to let go of the confines you have set yourself and to try something new.

All right ok, sorry that got so rambly.. umm. here is a sneakpeak of what im working on right now! ♥️

[kraehenkunst]

Jojen and Meera for the lovely Anons above, one of wich has send their ask over a year ago i'm afraid... sorry about that😐♥️

I took inspiration from Estonia for this one, firstly because of the beautiful traditional clothing. But it's also a country with lots of swamps and a climate that I think could very well match the Neck region :)

Brienne and Podrick in the Riverlands

I realized that I've never drawn a Brienne centric piece before, wich was frankly a shame. Once again, very inpired by Ivan Bilibin and old fairytale illustrations.

get the print here!
