This was done for Trojan Horse was a Unicorn & It's Art Mag's illustration contest for A Song of Ice and Fire. And it's officially my first 'Fan Art.' They had some really sweet prizes.
I was really drawn to the description of Winterfell and wanted to capture that landscape described in the books. Especially Bran's description of his favorite route to reach the burnt tower. From atop of the tower you can see the roof of the Old Keep, The Godswood, The Glass House and the steam rising from the hot springs on which Winterfell was built.
Here are a couple shots of the progress. The composition was extended to the right a bit to better frame Bran.
