The Wedding of Jaehaerys I and Alysanne—Thumbnail Sketches

Added 2025-05-17 00:07:16 +0000 UTC

“The following morning, as the sun rose, Jaehaerys Targaryen, the First of His Name, took to wife his sister Alysanne in the great yard at Dragonstone, before the eyes of gods and men and dragons. Septon Oswyck performed the marriage rites; though the old man’s voice was thin and tremulous, no part of the ceremony was neglected. The seven knights of the Kingsguard stood witness to the union, their white cloaks snapping in the wind. The castle’s garrison and servants looked on as well, together with a good part of the smallfolk of the fishing village that huddled below Dragonstone’s mighty curtain walls.”

Sharing the thumbnail and very rough sketch of this composition! Because this will be a big illustration I thought sharing this extra rough stage of my process would be fun to see. Still working some things out and hoping to add more personality and details to these poses!

Tomorrow is my 30th birthday; I was 17 when I first got into ASOIAF and I am happy to know that 13 years later I am still as passionate about this series as ever 🙂 I am eternally grateful for the support I have from my fellow fans of the series to continue making art of these characters too! Thank you all for sticking it out with me 💕
