Calm autumn morning in Dragonstone, 127 AC

Rhaenyra finding her 5 boys — Joffrey (10), Viserys (5), Aegon (7), Jacaerys (13) and Lucerys (12) — playing with baby Stormcloud in a courtyard at Dragonstone. Autumn of 127 AC, everything was still possible…

Apparently I like to press where it hurts :’)

Just realised I forgot the earrings on everyone except Joffrey…

-> Luke is saying "Good morning Mother, how are you?"

[nouketou]

Little heads to help me develop these characters and give them a little more depth!

Still haven’t got any good names for them sadly :-/

-> sigil on the left of for House Flandres (bottom left) and the one on the right for House Artois (bottom right)

-> the bas relief dragon is a scene from the mythology of the royal House (a good dragon slaying is always great to assert your power)

The Prince

-> heir to the Realm

-> mid 20s

-> bisexual but kinda closeted

-> very charming / flirty

-> big partygoer, rich kid aura

-> really oblivious (or pretending?) of the love dramas around him

-> secretly wants his sister to inherit the throne to finally be free/ himself

-> despite his nonchalant attitude, he's a fine diplomat and strategist, good in academics and swordsmanship -> makes him well liked by the people

-> childhood friend with the heirs of the counts of Artois and Flandres

The Princess

-> Princess of the Realm

-> late teens

-> more reserved (but not shy neither) than her brother but with a very witty sense of humour

-> talented scholar with a big interest for politics and diplomatic things

-> no love interest for the moment, but have a "life is to be experienced" attitude

-> friend by proxy (as she grew older) with Artois and Flandres since they're all at Court but closer to Artois because they share similar interests

-> is aware of her brother's love turmoils and unwanted heir status

-> wants to be a strategist and help the Realm more than her princessy condition allows her

Flandres

-> third son of the Count of Flandres

-> early 20s

-> gay (closeted++ except for the 3 others who "know" but are waiting for him to come out on his own terms)

-> became friend w/ the Prince & Artois later (10y ish)

-> scar given "accidentally" by his eldest brother during sparing

-> strongly pushed towards a clericalife to not outshine his elder brothers, his house have a very "an heir and a spare and so" mentality

- great swordsmanship, wishes he could be a knight instead of a priest

-> House Flandres is known for their pious (and so conservative) views, the kind to put a lot of money to build abbeys with their name engraved in the stones

-> is in love with the Prince since forever, they kissed/made out recently and his world is upside down

Artois

-> the heir of the House of Artois

-> mid 20s

-> bisexual (it's quite known but nobody says anything because his family his too influential / powerful)

-> only son (with sisters) of the leader of Artois house, one of the richest houses (trades and lands), one of them is always on the Realm's Council

-> oldest and bestfriend of the Prince, started to become something more on their late teens (many first times)

-> currently an academician at the Realm's Academy, working to become a member of the Council

-> big gossiper, if there's secrets he will know them

-> described as cunning by some, frivolous by others, but all agree he throws the best parties

a twink and a redhead

Dunkaerion…

I’ve read the fics on ao3, it’s now an evidence

[nouketou]

Jacaerys (11), Rhaena (9), Baela (9) and Lucerys (10) enjoying a late evening playing on Syrax back in Dragonstone, circa 125 AC. When times were easier and children could still be children…

Vermax and Moondancer are really just potatoes flying + Meleys (neck too short to be Caraxes)

~~~

Daemon: Children ! Please, be careful to not bother Syrax too much !

Rhaenyra: It’s alright Daemon, let them play.

Baela: Stop worrying Kepa, all is well !

~~~

-> Lucerys's dagger is a late gift from Laenor (or it belonged to him and was given to Lucerys after his death), part of the Velaryon’s collection

-> Jacaerys’s Valyrian dagger is a gift from Daemon (all of his children must have a dagger by age 10)

-> Baela’s belt is adorned with a chain of sea pearls and golden trinkets jewels that belonged to Laena

-> I tried to mix the colours and symbols of the Targaryens and Velaryons according to each kid “path”

[nouketou]

I couldn’t get any of the two sketches right on a proper illustration but I like them still, so here they go. Early Dyanna Dayne and Maekar Targaryen encounters, before the maekarlings and the toll of death (they both wanted each other’s cookies so bad they couldn’t wait after the wedding)

[nouketou]

Aenar, Daenys and Gaemon leaving Valyria in 114BC following Daenys's prophecy. Holding their heads high in front of the Valyrian society's teasing and dubious looks.

[nouketou]

Early Targaryens, from Daenys to Aerion

The early steps of House Targaryens after the Doom of Valyria (minus Anna and his wives / siblings because I run out of place). A lot of the details are from my own interpretation as there's not a lot of infos on the characters from that period.

-> the return of the Valyrian markings: dots for beauty / love, mostly worn by women and a chin line for dragon rider / warrior, can be worn by men and women

-> the same dragon scale earring is worn by Gaemon, Aegon and Baelon

-> Elaena wears her mother's pendants on her headdress

-> the husband of the last daughter of Daenys & Gaemon is probably a lordling or a steward of Dragonstone with Targaryen blood to some extent

-> Aerion wears Aerys crown as his own

-> Maegon, Daemion and Aerion wears the same earrings

-> Aerys's wife is a Celtigar

-> Daemion's wife is Maegon's dragonseed (they both share the same heterochromia) and is Visenya's grandmother and mentor (Visenya will wear her pendants on her crown)

-> Meraxes is the dragon representing the family line

-> Valaena Velaryon have a Velaryon dad and a Targaryen dragonseed mother (they both wear the same pendants)

-> Orys Baratheon's mother is a maid or lady-in-waiting of House Targaryen, native to Dragonstone

-> Argella Durrandon gave the Baratheon their blue eyes

Lykirī Balerion, muña is sleeping

Little Daenys and her young dragon Balerion, in their ancestral home in Valyria, long before prophecies and doom.

[nouketou]

I originally made it for me to help me figure out the age of the characters for my illustrations and who was present at what time, but if it can also help other people

From the reign of Aegon III to Daenerys

[nouketou]

Once they were wolves

An illustration inspired by my reading of Once they were wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Two sisters, nature, wolves, love and tears.

[nouketou]

Stolen kisses

Daenerys Targaryen and Daemon Blackfyre, late 186 AC or early 187 AC, sharing kisses while they still can.

I'm not used to drawing people kissing, faces squishing and all...

[nouketou]

Afternoon ride

Daemon I Blackfyre (12) and his half sister Daenerys Targaryen (10) escaping the tumult of Kingslanding to go on a ride in a late afternoon of 182 AC. Warm breeze, the chirps of crickets in the air and a calm sorrel mare.

Children again for a couple of hours, away from the Court's turmoils and months before Daemon is given his father's sword and the name Blackfyre.

[nouketou]

Gossip in the Palace

The Prince and his royal little sister. Escaping the reception for the fifteenth name day of the Princess, and the eyes and ears of the Court.

An excuse to engage in the latest gossips and take a breath for the royal siblings. And perhaps, also get away from the talks of foreign alliances and marriage for the, still, bachelor Prince.

[nouketou]

Trois fois la colère Gala - Reine - Miou

Three women inspired by my reading of Trois fois la colère by Laurine Roux. It's medieval, about the violence of men against women, rebellion and revenge. An herbalist "witch" who lives in the forest, the daughter of a violent lord and a girl who went to the crusades dressed as a squire.
