I am also interested why you use armor of beginning of 15th century from Europe? Why this particular period? I am asking because according to the book knights had more plate armor and that should be more like the Gothic armor of the end of the 15th century.

Actually, from what I've read of Martin's vision, even the 15th century was a bit advanced for him. 13th and 14th centuries were closer to what he imagined. My view is not to focus on any period, I personally love the high renaissance, particularly italian armor. I wanted to show advanced armour on the lords in my artwork, but use older forms for the various lesser lords and knights and hodge podge of styles for the men at arms. This would reflect a more fluent use of armour, not fixed to any period.

Hmmm interesting position. Please understand that I am not criticizing anything, I am just interested in your views. Why I like Tolkien art is because it is different in way many things from any medieval fashion we know. There are some resemblance to certain historical periods and countries, but all in all his ideas and details are original. My desire would be to see more original ideas about Ice and Fire as well. Martin didn't go too much into details on armor, fashions and styles. So it gives a huge field of imagination to those who would like to take such a challenge. In any case - keep up the good work. If you have more I'd love to see it. Me myself - I just do photography of buildings and nature and don't do drawings, but I love fantasy art in general.

Well Lord Stark didn't enter the throne room on horse, but still wonderful depiction of events. I wish I can see more Game of thrones art from you. I saw literally thousands of photos and pictures about Tolkien books, but very very few from Ice an Fire saga. Pity

He describes himself riding into the throne room to Robert in Chap. 12 of agot. I double checked just to make sure. He says specifically that he was mounted as he rode the length of the hall. I sometimes make mistakes about getting a scene right, but this was pretty vivid.

I agree. There aren't a lot of images, yet. This will change as the second season hits the screen and more people become aware. There are some very talented artists taking on the challenge. Komarck and Naismith come to mind right away. Tolkien's work has been around for decades and so has worked it's way into people's imaginations. Time will tell!
