The Wedding of Rhaenyra and Daemon

I need all the love for this one because I super-focused on it for over half a day without pause. What sleep schedule? I had the unstoppable urge to draw these two menaces. If you want me to make more things like this the endorphin rush of positive feedback will need to be stellar XD. Second bird with this stone is that I actually drew an unprompted man for the HotD series. Can’t be getting too predictable with only pretty ladies.

For this redesign I wanted to reference and build off of Rhaenyra's Heir outfit. So while it's not exactly the same they should feel like they are pulling more from the "ancient Valyerian" (Byzantine-esque) fashion than the styles that Alicent is currently wearing in court. Extra points if you an spot the references to Empress Theodora (again + her Emperor). Oh and because I make the rules in these redesigns: Corlys is Black and Rhaenyra isn't Hollywood sized. I can pull from the books and the show as I please! So I wanted to include her long single plait (styled after a previous Queen) and her generous curves in these post-time jump illustrations.

Period Drama Costume Appreciation

So I did a Winslow Leach post Paradise design cuz u know that boi's unfairly going to hell so we might as-well make him look good

Last up in the tourney dress redesigns: Rhaenys! The original is strongly “meh” for me, so I took the aspects I liked and fleshed them out more. In general I wanted this dress to feel more mature while still having a similarity to Rhaenyra’s. Also added puffy sleeves because there should be more puffy sleeves in hotd and that is a hill I’m willing to die on. Details below!

im obsesed with costume designing willas tyrell and oberyn martell. i'd give oberyn a red/bruised purple/black dupatta with snake and subtle dragon motifs (fire and blood and all that). otherwise, dripping in rubies (i know it's a bolton thing, but i'm obsessed with the bleeding spear). and willas just has to match margaery tyrell's first wedding dress, thorns and all.

Queen Alicent

I'm following the tv show's lead by skipping over quite a bit. One of the biggest critiques my friend and I have discussed about the show is how much of the first season is chopped up by huge time-skips. We start at the beginning, then it's three years later, then it's ten years later, then it's six... all in 10 episodes. Characters and plot lines fade back and forth as we watch two days of their lives every half-decade so season 2 has context as to why everyone hates each other. There isn't an easy 'fix' for this story problem but it doesn't necessarily make for the best viewing experience.

Which is the really long way around way of saying we are in the beginning of the end of S1 with my redesigns. Alicent has been Queen for many years, her children are theoretically older teens... but the actors of her children are in their mid-twenties so it looks comical. She has also leaned further and further into the Faith of the Seven as the years go on so I made sure to include a number of seven-pointed stars. I'm also going to attribute the veil as an accessory to the Faith of the Seven because of the costume design for the Septas (basically nuns in GoT world if you are unfamiliar and along for the ride B) ).

Redesigns of Alicent’s ladder dress from 1x02. I scrapped the ladder cutouts completely because I just don’t like them lol. I imagine the jeweled collar to have a similar thematic weight as the torc Dany wears in agot. I wanted my design to be conservative but also not- imo the original dress is a little too on the nose as far as Otto’s intentions go so I wanted to rein that in here. I wound up landing on a simple but fitted velvet dress. I also did two color schemes- the first one is more in line with the original navy, with added emeralds (or something) on the collar for House Hightower. The other is a classic black/red because I wouldn’t put it past Otto to dress Alicent in Targaryen colors as a form of subliminal messaging.
