Artist's Comments

Well, this isn't related to Geek Mag at all; it's a character from George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, the series of novels I'm reading at the time. This babe is called Jon Snow and I love him to death. *_____*
This fanart is dedicated to Morella, bless her for making me read those books, they're more than great.

very nice, hope to see more from you on this subject. A Song of Ice and Fire has pretty much ruined me for all other fantasy from being too damned good. I'd love to see you do a comic adaptation of part of one of the books. I've long held that an Anime series is really the only way to do these books justice.

Why the weirwood on his tabard? The only mention of arms like those were in Jojen's story about the smiling tree Mystery knight he told to Bran (which I assume was Ned in disguise based on the dialog that surrounded it.) I think he also had long hair by the time he joined the Watch, which I also assume is the case since that appears to be Mormont's raven.

I'm a picky little bastard though, I give it two Gregor-sized thumbs up!

Yeah, you are, tee-hee! Congratulations on finding the "hidden" reference though. Initially I chose the weirwood cos I didn't want Jon to wear the Direwolf emblem and since he compared Ghost to a weirwood ("barral" in french) at some point in the novels (don't remember where exactly), so here goes his emblem.
About the long hair... er, guilty, you honor, but that's just because I looooove this kind of horrid medieval haircut (Cadfael-like, you know?). It was a sort of challenge I set on myself, because I believe that if I can draw a guy who looks hot even with this kind of 'do, I can rulez the world some day. So yeah, the drawing isn't that accurate (I mean, he wouldn't get to wear any kind of emblem too if I really had respected everything).
What can I say?... Jon is like a fantasy to me, so I represented on this picture everything I found so damn cool about him: that scene where the raven 'chooses' him, a heart tree, Ghost, the Wall, and the armor with an emblem is just bonus for eye candy. heheheh, whatever. (I might as well have represented a dragon, if you see what I mean, fufufufu)

And you're damn right about ASoIaF ruining the shit out of other fantasy novels; while I'm waiting for a Dance with Dragons, I'm reading something Glen Cook wrote (the guy's supposed to be a reference) and I'm really bored to death... that George Martin guy is dangerous, I can't accept anything that's just plain "average" now...

Thank you for all the compliments, and the long comment, I love those! ^^

There was the time I also loved Jon very much but noone is so special to as Jaime :love:

If it comes to the art - I'm really impressed by your technique :heart:
