John Snow and Ghost
A painting of John Snow and his dire wolf Ghost from A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) that was commissioned to me by my friend Bert!
This took just over a month to do. There were a lot of things I didn't understand how to do when I first approached this piece. Many of my pieces don't have backgrounds, so I've been trying to do them more with my pieces. So after a lot of practice, a lot of research, new brush making, experimenting, getting textures, taking photos of new textures, learning how to fade things out and making it look a bit painterly, photo ref... finally finished it to my liking.

Thanks a lot, Bert!
