Ran Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Images are copyrighted, sorry. Some images have been released as part of official previews -- I believe Mashable has a few images they were allowed to release, too. Daemon I at the Redgrass, a Sword of the Morning, wildlings at the Wall, Aegon III and Prince Viserys facing the regents, Barristan the Bold against Maelys the Monstrous -- all from the hand of Spanish artistJosé Cabrera Peña. The authenticity of armor is no surprise -- he cut his teeth in military history magazines, which put a premium on exactly correct details. He was a real find, and I wish we could have gotten a few more images from him, but unfortunately part way through the project he broke or sprained his wrist, I'm told, and couldn't work for awhile. But really amazin stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasta11 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Robert vs Rheagar looks amazing, definitely the best. Love the first art of Balerion, he's just so damn big, Aegon looks so small on him. Overall the artwork is gorgeous, few if any of it seems low wuality to me. And yeah, I knew Valyrians were supposed to be hot, but dayum. Not a single one of the ladies seem to not have been absolute dude magnets, they're all beautiful. I suspect the men are too, albeit I don't swing that way so it's harder to judge.

Faydra Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Rhaenyra was perfect. I also liked the Valyrian Freehold and its dragonlords, Asshai, Robert vs Rhaegar, Robert's portrait, Aerys' first portrait, the Lyseni noblewoman, King Garth, the wives and mistresses of the dragon kings, King Jaehaerys and Good Queen Alysanne, Sothoryos' ruin and the Pact between the children and the First Men. I couldn't see Lyanna and I imagined that Rhaegar would be better looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naseridrl Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I personally loved all the illustration of places especially Storms End, Tarth's Evenfall, Sunspear, Highgarden, Riverrun etc I also really weirdly liked the Young Dragons plait, I know its weird but it just caught my eye. Loved Nymeria very much as well and serious looking Mors. I also loved the huge difference between the Princess of Dorne and Rhaenys, and how despite being near her end she still looking mighty fierce whilst Rhaenys looked a bit like an ornament with her crazily long hair.

I couldn't see Lyanna and I imagined that Rhaegar would be better looking.I agree about Rhaegar I've seen better pictures of him. I wish they had done a full portrait of a Dany instead of a profile (I don't think she looked as beautiful as she's described). Jon also didn't look as handsome as I thought he would be, oh well...

Lpearce7 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The picture on the back of the front page of Dragonstone is amazing. There are several other pictures of Dragonstone in the book, but that is by far the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMatchedEyes Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 First thing I saw that I loved was right at the beginning where you can make out Robert and joffrey's names rubbed out. That tickled me before I'd even got started. I also loved that! Laughed out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks like a bad ass.She does look badass but I feel she could have looked more beautiful she is after all the most beautiful woman in the world. ;)On pg. 113 is a great picture of Ser Barristan and Maelys the Monstrous.Proving why I love Barristan so much - BAMF all the way.
