Description
A song of ice and fire (GRR Martin) fanart.A stained glass window of the Seven, the most common religion in Westeros.
I took real characters for most of the deities.
The Smith - Gendry
The Crone - Uhhh I thought of Old Nan, but actually she's more of a random old Lady
The Maiden - Sansa (with Lady and a little bird
)The Warrior - Jaime Lannister. The background is to be similar to the Red Grassfields (battle between the Blackfyre pretenders and the Targ loyalists)
The Mother - Gilly. That's a gillyflower in the front and she's wearing Sam's cloak
The Father - Eddard Stark
The Stranger - Nobody

Would you mind if I used this gorgeous work as a header on Tumblr, with credit to you in the description?

Kudos to you for not making the Stranger Arya like in a lot of fanart.

I really like all your windows, but this one is my favorite. Thank you for sharing them with us.

This is really awesome. I REALLY love the Characters that most closely aline with each aspect of the seven theme.
So it is a bit jarring to me that the Crone and Stranger are just generic. I have to agree with a lot of posters above with Arya being a superb Stranger candidate. The stranger is meant to be neither masculine of feminine. While our favorite prepubescent death dealer has been passing herself off as a boy when useful. Post A Dance with Dragons I believe Arya in a House of Black and White acolyte robe would make perfect stranger material if you ever wanted to redo it. (could not find any fan art here of her in the robes, and that makes me sad) Also, the Mother's babe is too old so it throws people off of Gilly and led me to mistake her for Cat before reading comments. Perhaps two babies instead of the one child. And the Crone beside Old Nan which I couldn't think how to make look any different from any other old lady there's... hmmm Maggie the frog and the Ghost of High Hart, which to be don't seem prominent enough characters. Or maybe the Queen of Thorns and Green Grace, which don't seem crone...ish enough to me haha.
Anyway wonderful job.

Oh this is so amazing! I always think of Arya to be the stranger since she practically becomes one - in a sense throughout the books.
Such beautiful work!!

This is great! They're all fantastic and have nice little touches, like Gendry's helm and the Weirwood. I'm impressed!

So I (finally) got sucked into ASOIAF. And I love this!

i would make the stranger in the form of Coldhands and his elk from beyond the wall

That's an interesting idea! (but I guess the random hooded figure was also just easier than a whole elk
Thank you!

i love this!! very tarot card-y. and it's great that you used the characters.

Thank you! It wasn't intentional with the tarot, but you're right. It's the stereotypes I guess

Oh, well done! Although I must admit, before reading the caption I assumed the mother was Catelyn holding Rickon. Shoulda looked closer at her hair...

Hehe, I know, Cat seems like the prototype of mother, but I wanted to make a different one and the wildlings are underrepresented in fandom anyway
Thanks!

The Queen of Thorns might qualify as a crone
my favorite is probably Gendry or Eddard though.

Yeah, but she's more cunning than wise I think, not that much the leading people on the way of wisdom (allthough she did it for Joffrey, right? Mwahaha
Thanks!

"The Crone - Uhhh I thought of Old Nan, but actually she's more of a random old Lady"
How about the Ghost of High Heart. She's pretty crone-ish
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True but she's also so undefined I mean, so difficult to make clear who she is in a pic

you didn't make Arya the Stranger? Or the Hound? This is great by the way, I wanted to do the 7 myself.

Hmm I thought of Stoneheart as the Stranger actually but it was easier to make just a random hooded figure.
Thanks!

Mother Merciless as the Stranger is a grand idea, you could just claim in retrospect that it was her all along. XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, yeah, random hooded figure can be totally her
Thanks also for the favs!
