Westeros Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ah-ha, this is the last Artisans featurette before the premiere on the 17th. Graphic artist Jim Stanes discusses a subject near and dear to our hearts: Heraldry and Maps. This video’s full of some of the heraldic images I had a sneak peek at when I visited the production in Belfast, and now everyone else can see them too!read on >>>Visit the Site!

Ser Doresain Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Interesting to see, but I wonder if they were aware of/used Westeros's existing examples of heraldry at all? Seems like it would have been a great starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Oh, they definitely did. ;) But they gave the artist freedom to fiddle with things. In many cases, it's just visual clarity stuff, designs that will look stronger and more legible than some George came up with. In others... I still don't quite understand why the Lefford pile is upside down. Looks very odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
