Title: WINTER IS COMING
Post by: cowabounga on July 08, 2012, 20:38:18
Hey friends.
What do you think of this sketch? I hesitated a long time before making this one as it is not heraldic at all! I might also do the Lannister, Baratheon, Greyjoy and of course Targaryen houses, if you like this first one.

I'm not a fan of the series, but it looks like it'd be a cool piece.

I'm a BIG fan of the series, and I think even Eddard Stark himself would love this!
Cool! :)

HOW CAN YOU!? (unless you just started)

I even bought that HUGE STUPID BRICK of a hardcover not to wait more for Dance (didn't see the proper paperback yet - will ditch that first one then)

Loads of potential there for customs.. I'm sure the Master can do wonders with it... In the books there are the description (and drawings) of all the major houses...

Hey buddies and GoT-geeks!
Here are the caparisons I intend to use for the four main houses. I'm also showing, for each house, two shields: the classical medium shield, and the shield the rider will carry, which is a different shape for each house.

First is a white version for House Stark. I prefer it white, since the Targaryen will be black, and so each house will have a different colour...

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/HOUSE_STARK_PHOTO_2.gif)

Then we have the Lannister. Since Jaime will ride it and he is such a show off (reminds me of Prince Charming from Shrek, a bit), I chose a heavily embroidered caparison, with a rich base colour, so it's a dark red instead of bright red.

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/HOUSE_LANNISTER_PHOTO.gif)

House Targaryen was easy, though the sigil was a pain in the neck drawing.

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/HOUSE_TARGARYEN_PHOTO-.gif)

For House Baratheon, I made two versions and I need you guys to helps me choose between black and yellow for the background.

Can't wait for your comments!  ;D

LOVE THEM ALL!!!
Stark's should have white field no doubt  :love:
I LOOOOOOVE the Targarien's
Not so thrilled about the Lanister's though.
The Baratheon's looks a lot better in the black version!

 :love: :love: :love: :love:
Title: Re: WINTER IS COMING
Post by: Wolf Knight on July 18, 2012, 14:43:57
 :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

Stark needs to be white definately!
I Just looooooooove the Lanister caparison! It's so Jamie  :lol: :lol: :lol:
Targarien looks  AWESOME!!! The three headed dragon deserves a place amongst your best desings!!!
For Baratheon, try a black hood on a yellow caparison... If it doesn't work, I'd say the black one.

Hey!
Here are the first three warriors.

King Robert Baratheon.

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/5e2a26e8.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/35f9a0c9.jpg)

Ser Jaime Lannister.

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/5bc92033.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/267da329.jpg)

And Veserys Targaryen.

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/fa361e23.jpg)

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/450b4b09.jpg)

Since Veserys died, I thought it fitted better for Daenerys to ride this horse.  :lol:

(http://i762.photobucket.com/albums/xx266/cowabounga/b471b227.jpg)

And here she is, ready to slice a White Walker in two with her Obsidian sword.

Gorgeous! Your Robert is WAY better than the one on the series...

Love the stuff you created. Jaime is perfect in red and gold (he MUST be blonde though).

The Targaryen shield is gorgeous.. But I doubt Viserys (or Dany, for that matter) were ever arrayed like that (except maybe in his wild dreams). Ah, not very playmodoable, but they both should have purple eyes...
Title: Re: WINTER IS COMING

Awesome customs!!! I love Baratheon, although you should have used a fat klicky  :lol: :lol:

Ah, I missed that.  And with the crown, I suppose it really couldn't be of fit old Robert at the Trident.
Title: Re: WINTER IS COMING
Post by: cowabounga on July 22, 2012, 16:53:08
I know I shoud have used a fat clicky. Actually, I intend to make two: one fat will wear the crown, and the other, slim, will have a helm with a very special crest…hush! I said too much already!  ;)

Jaime and Daenarys look great!!!  I always thought the throne itself would be a cool playmo custom too.  (wink, wink)  I would love to see a John Snow custom as well.  Great work as always!  :)9

I thought about doing the throne (in paintshop) when I did the event pic for the release of Dance.. But in the end gave up... (yes, I know the dragons are wrong, but..)

Post by: davidnbun on July 26, 2012, 19:50:55
They all look great!  Job well done!   ;)
I would have named  Viserys Targaryen,  Rhaegar Targaryen though.
That way your Robert could fight it out with him at the battle of the Trident!
Besides Rhaegar is a nicer guy than Viserys!   :P

I don't really understand what does one thing has to do with another... Though I still hate Joff the most (from the book, I don't think the scenes are in the series. Thank the gods.)

Awesome pic! The pics "in nature" are really amazing (well.. I suppose managing to use the camera helps  :-[ )

I still keep Joff higher up...  (sorry for the off topic)

Cowabounga.. you should make Brienne!

Well guys, one more. I don't like the boy, but his family's coat of arms is soooooo cool! A Kraken!!! So here is Theon Greyjoy!

@Tahra: about Brienne...does she have a coat of arms. I'll google House Tarth to check.
@Tonguello: the Freys... :0

Love the Theon's coat of arms.. hate the character...

Love Smiler though :)

Brienne... I think she does have a coat of arms, but she uses some ancient shield from one of the prequels.. Sorry, I can't keep up with all the details :-[

(did you read the books yet?)
Title: Re: WINTER IS COMING
Post by: cowabounga on October 21, 2012, 20:32:08
I remember she had one painted when she went on her ride with Oathkeeper. But I can't remember what the sigil has been...
Title: Re: WINTER IS COMING
Post by: tahra on October 21, 2012, 20:46:56
She carries a bat one for a time... the painted one.. darn. Can't remember either... isn't it like a landscape or something? (I could be totally off!)

Yes, I think so.. with a starry sky, maybe?

(need to reread the saga, but it's gonna take a while... Flewelling's now.. and wanna reread the Hobbit before the movie)
Title: Re: WINTER IS COMING
Post by: tonguello on October 22, 2012, 12:22:39
The craken looks awesome.

yes Brianne carries sheild with a bat until she had it re-painted.
It was a landscape, no sigil, it is mentioned there was a tree with green leaves and a falling star.



I found it. "The arms of Tarth were quartered rose and azure, and bore a yellow sun and a crescent moon" but she didn't dare to have it painted like that.

Not an essential character, but the heraldry is sooooo cool!
This is a Tully:
