Game of Thrones

Everyone here at the office really likes the HBO series "Game of Thrones", so we decided our next art blog post would be of artwork based around that series. I've been wanting to get into more environment type of digital paintings for awhile now, so I saw this as a great opportunity to start.

I found a good reference shot of "the wall" online from the official GoT site and thought I'd just do something similar. I then proceeded to watch some environment painting training videos done by Dylon Cole and man did he ever make it look easy. This should be a breeze, right? Noooope. What I found was a new respect for all those guys and gals out there that make this look so easy, hats off to you folks.

Made mistakes, learned many things, had lots of fun and came up with this...
