King of Winters Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 We've only seen The Others twice in the whole series so far, but how do you see them? Is there a drawing that is your favourite (e.g the graphic novel one or the calendar one), do you like the TV series' representation the best, or you have your own image in your head?Just interested to see how people view The Others.

N/A Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 i don't see them like some ice monsters like the show presented them (i really didn't like that)i see them as more of a mystique race, a fascinating enigma , a beautiful danger that could draw you in and then destroy your soul something like this http://www.gameofthronescharacters.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/white-walker.jpghttp://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/219/9/3/white_walkers_by_druidchickz-d5a7c2x.jpghttp://data.whicdn.com/images/21840881/OTHERSlowres_large.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Winters Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 http://data.whicdn.com/images/21840881/OTHERSlowres_large.jpgDidn't GRRM say that that is the closest drawing to what The Others look like? Or am I getting confused with something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Alysanne™ Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I see them as the opposite of dragons, not that they look alike, but that they are ice made flesh and are smarter and more humanoid. I also like the picture posted by mighty potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if it had some artwork of The Others seeing as they've got some of the COTF.I like this picturehttp://data.whicdn.com/images/21840881/OTHERSlowres_large.jpgOr the one from the graphic novel. There was one more but I forgot what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steinnis Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The show's probably messed up my perception of them. But still something similar to what they look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMysteriousOne Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 This is how the Others are depicted in A Game of Thrones: the Graphic Novel, which I recommend by the way, if you'd like to see how GRRM pictures the characters and the world of ASOIAF. It's a good graphic novel. GRRM said that this is like how he pictures them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I like the last one you put forward, it looks pretty realistic.i just like to think that the others are beautiful as well as dangerous (kinda like Medusa or ardakt-yakshi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Winters Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 i just like to think that the others are beautiful as well as dangerous (kinda like Medusa or ardakt-yakshi)Especially since GRRM described them as the sidhe of ASOIAF.

Morienthar Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 http://visionsoiaf.f...-the-others.jpgthis one is my favorite.The Show ones remind me of a dead,half rotten and frozen Gandalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I don't like the Others portrayed in the tv show coz they look like dead, awful-looking, ice zombies. How could the Night's King fall in love or make love to such creature? GRRM said they are strange, beautiful, inhuman, elegant... not like this.
