Gallery of Game of Thrones: awesome A Song of Ice and Fire fan art from around the web
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword by Brad VandenBerg
Tomorrow, the Game of Thrones is afoot once more. After six long years of waiting (longer, in the case of some characters), A Dance with Dragons — the fifth volume in George R.R. Martin’s fantasy saga A Song of Ice and Fire, the first volume of which, A Game of Thrones, being the inspiration for the hit HBO series — will finally be released. Personally, I’ll be so cut off from the Internet in order to read the thing that you’ll have to reach me by raven. But until then, let’s celebrate the publication of this long-anticipated hope-it’s-a-masterpiece with a gallery of the best Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire art the Internet has to offer. Please note: If all you’ve seen is the TV show, there are some mild SPOILERS ahead in the form of characters you haven’t met and, in a couple of cases (though nothing major, so don’t panic) events you haven’t seen. Just avoid that map at the bottom and you’re all set.
Many thanks to Zack Soto’s The Wall Defends Itself tumblr, Kris Mukai & Maritsa Patrinos’s Game of Thrones minizine, the #Winterfell deviantART community, and Elio & Linda of Westeros.org for helping me discover many of these treasures.
Check out the whole gallery after the jump — click on any image to go to its original source, or as close to it as I could get! And please, NO SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS, for any book in the series. I will be very strict about this. Longsword-swinging strict.

George R.R. Martin troll made me laugh really hard. All beautifull artwork but Westerbros has a charm of its own.

wow, there’s some amazing art here! I waited over 5 years for book 5 to come out, and I’m deep in the middle of it now… see you all at the end of book 5, and the wait for book 6 begins…

I think most of those drawings aren’t representative of what Game of Throne is, it’s more “realistic” than purely fantastic, there is more political matter than fantastic ones, even though only semi realist / very realistic drawings in this presentation, are worth something when it comes to make us feel the universe of “Game of thrones”.
It’s still nice though but the realistic ones are my favorites, the series / and books are violent, crude, and so, very realistic for a medieval era, keep it realistic, even in your drawings !
