Fir3brand Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I've been on a bit of a binge making artwork of the Others while I'm rereading the series. These were my attempts at a lore-friendly depictions, since I feel the show pictured them too ghoulish and old. I also based the following on a study of cold, ice, crystal patterns, and a kind of alien, mythical beauty. Please let me know what you think, and how you've always pictured the White Walkers.

kissdbyfire Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I think the artwork for the WWs I’ve seen that best matches my head canon is John Picacio’s. That said, I love your work, it’s gorgeous. And welcome to the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seams Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Nice work. Very much like something out of Old Nan's tales. The blue eyes are just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetsunray Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I really like how you managed to capture the ghostly shadowlike appearance, combined with their height and emanciated form, and how it all combines in that impression of fairy-like beauty. One minor detail: the horses wouldn't be see through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springwatch Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I hadn't got a strong internal image for the Others (not seen them on the show) - so these new images just bowl me over. Will be part of my head canon from now on. The sort-of-beauty, and the bonyness, and the otherworldy nature comes over so very well. Brilliant. The rest of my head canon is: I always picture the Others among the trees in the moonlight , with the tree shadows dappling their armor. I'm not sure in my mind if the Others belong with the trees, of if they're just passing through. I pictured the swords as very thin and narrow, as if cut from a sheet of ice, but that wide, crystalline look is a fair depiction too. One small thing which did clash with my ideas: the horses were excessively pretty. Not something to complain about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back door hodor Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Great artwork Personally I do not see the others so ethereal in my mind, but I totally dig this interpretation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Ice-Eyes Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I’ve always pictured them like this except the black armour, I always change it in my head to armour of ice that can change to the colour of whatever it’s reflecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
