Concept art pays tribute to the richness, as well as the realism, of George R.R. Martin’s Westeros

For those of us who ca n’t await for the HBO series to start seeing every little detail of George R.R. Martin ’s Westeros , artist Xavier Garcia has started creating A Song Of Ice And Fire concept art . Here ’s his Jon Snow .

And yes , that ’s The Wall that Jon ’s stick out on . I have to admit , this is n’t on the button how I ’d pictured Jon after read the first few books , but it ’s pretty tightlipped . Garcia writes that ASOIAF is his favorite playscript series , and “ I desire to go through the characters , artillery , environments and flesh the heck out of it . ” He add :

My intended style … is going to be more phantasy than realistic ( think Diablo III rather than Lord of the Rings ) and I am full aware that the cool thing about the books is how “ naturalistic ” they portray the fancy mise en scene . Hopefully that will still be the face , but I just want to set the look on stylization .

Here are his endeavour at some of the most memorable characters , include the Lannister patriarch , Tywin , and the horrific Hound , Sandor Clegane :

And here ’s Garcia ’s variant of Jaime Lannister , who he write is “ my preferent character . He ’s also pretty distinguishable visually , so he s going to be fun to be fun with his armor intent . ”

Garcia says he ’ll be add slews more stuff before long , so keep an optic on his web log . [ Xavier Garcia – Concept and 3D Artist ]
