I’m guessing the bearded figure is Jon Snow because the wolf is Ghost and the wall is in the background. Still cool.
How I Brought Game of Thrones‘ Ned Stark to Life
John Picacio is a super-talented cover artist whose art has graced many of your favorite novels — but many people now know him best as the creator of the 2012 Song of Ice and Fire calendar. Picacio’s iconic art has helped to capture the splendor and squalor of Westeros for many readers. Here, in the first of a series of articles, he gives us a step by step tutorial on how he created the calendar’s version of Eddard Stark, lord of Winterfell.
Oh, and you’ll really want to click the images below, to enlarge them and see all the amazing detail and progression from image to image.
In 2008, I spotted George R.R. Martin on one of the party floors at Worldcon. We chatted briefly, and I mentioned that I’d love to work with him someday. He said he’d definitely keep it in mind. One year later, we ran into each other again at the Montreal Worldcon. This time around, he asked me to go the bar where we could talk at length. He asked if I’d ever read his A Song of Ice and Fire books. Unfortunately, I had not at that point. The truth is that I spend most of my reading time consuming manuscripts when I’m assigned cover jobs, and pleasure reading of novels (especially giant ones) is rare. Since I’d never worked on ASoIaF properties, I hadn’t had a chance to read these books that many of my friends described as ‘literary crack’.
George asked if I’d be interested in working on a calendar based on his A Song of Ice and Fireseries. “Which month?”, I replied. “Well. All of them,” said George. At the time, I was slammed with the most cover gigs I’d ever juggled in my entire career, plus finishing Elric artwork for the same parent company that was going to publish the calendar (Random House). The sensible thing was to pass on the opportunity. My answer was of course: “Let’s do this.”
Eddard Stark was the third artwork I worked on of the twelve calendar works, and he turned out to be one of my very favorites. And of course, he was eventually chosen by Bantam to be the cover of the calendar.

But Theon’s journey has also explored, deeply, the major themes of the show — power, family, loyalty — and done so from the most extreme vantages. In Theon, we see not only the attractions of power but its dangers; the comforts of family and its limitations; the importance of loyalty and its complications. Like several other members of his generation, Theon is trying to learn (painfully and publicly) how to be a leader and, by extension, an adult.
Vulture: Game of Thrones recap
Ugh perfect. I was talking to someone the other day about how this season really is about Ned’s three sons and how they’re all trying to grow up and be Ned - unaware that he was fatally flawed - and then all failing in their own ways.
