This one was a little bit different! I knew I wanted to jump on the Game of Thrones bandwagon, but needed a way to fit it into the "Litterverse". I'll often get weird dreams after watching shows before bed, so I came up with the classic "it was all a dream" excuse.
Then I had to decide who to make who, avoiding any "creepy" relationship pitfalls, which is no easy task with GoT! I sketched them all out before coming up with the script.
The "dream" punchline gave me carte blanche to mix up real world stuff with fantasy. The idea of a raven UPS guy was hilarious to me, so I built everything else out from him.
The main layout didn't change much over the course of this one, but I made a lot of tweaks as I did more studies of the characters and poses. I'm not traditionally a big fan of drawing hair (part of the reason I don't draw people!) but I was thrown into the deep end with this one and I feel like I learned a lot! :)
