Jon Snow and Ghost

Yes, I have jumped onto the bandwagon that is Game of Thrones, so here's some Jon Snow. I'm only in the second season yet so please no spoilers! I know everybody dies, but please, I don't want to know in what order they die I'll try my best not to spoil anything in descriptions either, or at least there'll be a spoiler alert there somewhere.

But yes, here's Jon Snow and his badass dire wolf Ghost (obviously still a puppy here ). Jon Snow is not even close to being my favorite character, in fact I find him quite derpy in the show (I like him better in the books, which I'm also currently reading, I still don't want spoilers! I'm only halfway through the second book yet), yet I find myself drawing him a lot I was going to draw him without his little beard, since he's meant to be younger in the books, buuut he ended up looking far to feminine, so I had to add the beard there to make him look a bit more manly

It always annoyed me a tiny bit that Ghost's eyes are bright red with black pupils in the show even though he's meant to be an albino, so I tried to make his eyes pink with red pupils, more legit albino eyes, but then I ended up adding a bit of a black outline to the irises and whatnot, so eh. And then I also realized that he should have a pink nose instead of a black one Oh well, artistic liberties I guess

I wanted to give Jon the black Night's Watch clothes, buuut as it happens, I don't have very dark grey markers, and you can't really shade the black marker, so eh. I wasn't going to outline this drawing, but then I went and colored Jon's hair with solid black, and then everything else looked like it needed some black outlines, aaand so there we go Still, I am quite happy with how it looks

Also, this is probably the first time I've actually tried to draw a (dire) wolf, so yeah, I know it's not perfect, the ears are too small and whatnot. Surprisingly much fun to draw despite that

And one more thing; I really wish I could choose two categories, fan art for both Movies & TV and Books & Novels. But no.

Oh, almost forgot; drawn with pencils, colored with Copic markers, and the outlines with a 0.1 Staedtler pigment liner. Jon Snow and Ghost are of course (c) George R. R. Martin and HBO (I guess?).
