Why this piece is awesome: The artist specialises in portraits, and this is a great capture of Rhaenyra in her finery, lovely and serene. The details of her jewellery and of the background are gorgeous, as is the subtle colour palette. Click through once for a decent view, twice for extreme magnification of individual brushstrokes.

Content Notes/Warnings: dragon vs human army so a lot of soldiers in the distance are getting crisped up and tossed about, but no close-up details

Artist Website/Gallery: phaserunner on DAphaserunner on YouTube
Why this piece is awesome: It's called House of the Dragon, so here we go, a dragon! This is an amazing manip in Photoshop - the final result is clearest in DA and you can click through a couple of times to enlarge it. You can also watch the pic being created in the accompanying YouTube video. It's dramatic and impressive even if the topic's chilling, and the artist's technical skills with Photoshop are extraordinary.

Why this piece is awesome: This is modeled on Klimt's "The Kiss" and as the artist's note says, the post was chosen as paparinka felt there were aspects of dubious consent in Helaena and Aegon's relationship - her right hand is especially telling. It's an interesting fusion work - click through to enlarge it.

Why this piece is awesome: People may have mixed feelings about the show itself, but wow, there's a lot of gorgeous art out there for House of the Dragon. This double portrait is exceptional in its details, the textures of the fabrics and walls, and the perfect likenesses. Delicate yet powerful, just amazing work.

Why this piece is awesome: I'm not mad keen on where Season 8 seems to be taking us, so here's an early work from the beginning of Danaerys's story, with her Dothraki mare. Lovely, delicate drawing, especially of her hair, and a great likeness. Click to see the details.

Why this piece is awesome: Sneaking this one in as it's still August in many parts of the world. A final worldbuilding pic - Casterley Rock, painted before the TV series, and we don't really see The Rock in the series so interesting to see one artist's idea of how it might look. I like the detail and how it's both pretty and impregnable. I imagine the rock as being full of secret tunnels and chambers, not nearly as lovely as the outside.

Why this piece is awesome: I really like this as Valyria is long-ruined by the time of the books and TV series, so this is an imagined re-creation of the city in all its ancient wealth and power - again, great worldbuilding. Also, excellent and dramatic perspective. Click to embiggen it.

Why this piece is awesome: I love the imagination fanartists bring to rendering the places in a canon like Game if Thrones. This is a spooky and powerful rendition of what Dragonstone might look like (created before the TV series, so a different take on it). Literal world-building.

Why this piece is awesome: I love the moment that's been caught here, with Brienne dominant and Jaime being a brat, as usual. Love the loose brushstrokes and the depth of colours, especially the green in Brienne's armour and hair. The dynamic in this pic is absolutely perfect as an illustration for Astolat's GoT stories.

Why this piece is awesome: Sorry I've been slow posting the rest of this month's art, due to being hammered by various deadlines, but here we go. This is Jaime and Brienne together, and I love the symbolism of Brienne being awash with light, and Jaime shadowed. Beautiful work, and there's also an amazing artwork of a wounded Brienne in the DA gallery.

Why this piece is awesome: This is the old Jaime, when he still had a right hand, and it's an excellent portrait. I especially like the details of his hair and the sword hilt. If you're into GoT art there are some excellent ones in this portfolio, and I think the likeness in this artwork is one of the best.
