Description
Sorry it's been so long since I drew something.I've got several things going right now.
I hope, however, that this makes some compensation.
Since joining Blood of Dragons MUSH, I now receive requests for scenes from ASOAIF. Here, I thought to depict a scene with a lot of characters, food and intrigue, three things GRRM is famous for depicting well.
(I guess I was hungry when I drew this)
A Storm of Swords, Chapter 6, Sansa I.
Sansa is invited to a meal on the terrace by the new to-be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Margaery Tyrell. There, she meets the various bannerwomen of the Reach, among them the decidely prickly Queen of Thorns, Olenna Tyrell.
While the old matriarch distracts the others with the antics of their fool, she questions Sansa on the nature of the boy to be her granddaughter's husband, Joffrey Baratheon.
At the table are (Clockwise from Left) Lady Alerie Hightower, Lady Olenna Tyrell, Lady Sansa Stark and Lady Margaery Tyrell.
Around them...
Lady Alyce Graceford is with child which little Lady Alysanne Bulwer takes a precocious interest in, listening to the little one's heartbeats.
In the centre of the terrace stands Butterbumps, the Fool of Highgarden (Though in Olenna's eyes, he shares that title with her son, Mace) seemingly pulling a duck and her young from his ear. Around him, the Tyrell cousins, Elinor, Megga and Alla, along with Leonette Fossoway and Meredyth Crane stand and cheer on while Lady Janna Tyrell and Septa Nysterica sit back and watch, amused.
On the sidelines, however, the mysterious Myrish schemer, Taena Merryweather, observes what goes on secret and she's not the only one.
Littlefinger and Varys always ensure that nothing goes on in King's Landing without them knowing.
A bit unsubtle with Taena, Littlefinger and Varys, my goal was drawing them at all really.
I based Sansa and Margaery off Sophie Turner and Natalie Dormer but, while I'm a big fan of Diana Rigg, I chose to base Olenna, who's described as a great deal less sightly in the books, off The Ugly Duchess by Quentin Matsys.
I also tried to base Alerie Hightower's appearance off Felicity Kendall.
Thanks everyone. Please let me know what you think and if there are any ASOAIF aficionados here, let me know if you have any requests or ideas.
