I mean, Game of Thrones the HBO series is back, nothing to do with drawing.
As a matter of fact, I haven’t been posting drawings on my blog in ages!
It’s not that I’ve been lazy, in fact I’ve been working like crazy during the past couple of months.
Unfortunately everything I’ve been working on cannot be disclosed yet, so for the next couple of months I’ll be able to publish only the few spare sketches I’ll manage to slip in my schedule.

Too bad, I had some interesting ideas lined up.
Well, wait, it’s not bad actually, I’m working on pretty cool things, you’ll see.

So, as I said, Game of Thrones is Back. Everyone is pretty excited about it, me included.
I can’t wait to see on screen the events I read in the books. A part from a couple that I’m still trying to get over:(

Anyway, it must be because of the hype around the series, but I keep coming across Game of Thrones related things on the Internet.

The first one is of course George R.R. Martin’s new website.
I think it’s pretty cool (someone pointed out on reddit that it doesn’t look early nineties any longer).
It also displays some pretty cool illustrations on its rotator, one of which is by Michael Kormarck, who made the cover art in the same book I made the back cover of.

If you want to refresh your memory with the events of the past Game of Thrones’ seasons, this awesome map has been created exactly for that purpose. Just scroll down and the map will highlight the places where the events took place, with a brief pop-up summary of what happened.
Actually I should have posted it a few weeks ago, but as I said I’ve been busy, and I have a very crappy memory.

So, just two days to go.
If you want to kill time while you wait, just enjoy this gif. I just look at it every now and then when I need to feel better.
You’re welcome.
