Aw man, Reznak looks EXACTLY like the preening snake of a vizier he is.
Tormund looks to me like Robert must have when he was still hale and strong; the kind of man's man that leads from the front and whom men like to follow.
Oberyn's expression looks... a bit too cold and hard, I think.
Selyse looks like a perfect "important only in her own eyes" noble lady.
Grey Worm has a very honest face.

Overall, I like.

Thanks alot!
It's definitely a challenge to not only design/draw the characters but imbue them with character as well.

Oberyn's dark expression was because I imagined him thinking of his dead sister and revenge, which seemed like his defining character trait to me at the time.

Yeah, I feel Tormund could use some more work. He feels a little too "generic barbarian" to me.
BTW, I think the actor Brian Blessed would make a perfect Tormund in the tv series (I should have just drawn him!).

On the whole I'm happy with the drawings but there are a few character revisions I might make someday ...like making the Kindly Man's expression a little warmer/inviting, Missandei seems a little older than she should be and Janos Slynt should probably be a little stouter and pompous-looking.

Re: Oberyn - Yeah, that's probably what he's like on the inside, but he's probably learned to keep that part below the surface when dealing with his "allies" the Lannisters. That's what I thought, anyway.

Great images. I particularly like your versions of Selyse, Rattleshird, and Reznak. Would you mind if cropped images of the characters were used to illustrate their profiles in the Wiki of Ice and Fire? See: [link]

Absolutely, go ahead and use them in your Wiki character profiles!

Done. Thanks. You can find your images in the pages of the individual characters. Thanks for both your permission and the striking depiction of faces.

Thanks again, I appreciate the inclusion!

FYI: I also have another batch of 25 ASOIAF character sketches, but many of those drawings are a bit rough.
If your'e interested in any of them, just let me know and I can crop the characters and erase-out any surrounding pencil lines.
