(Sketch) Rhaego Targaryen, Heir of The Iron Throne Dragon's Bay WIP
Redesign of a redesign of my "main" ASoIaF AU: Age of Iron and Steam. You can find the other (few) arts from this project in the tag "The Age of Iron and Steam AU".
Martin may hate me for fanficting, but it's kind of his fault for killing off this character who- oh my god, could have been great⦠Or terrible for, you know, stone houses and stuff. The whole conflict behind this doubt/prophecy is exactly what I want to explore in this AU beyond the New Age that has begun in Meereen. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to turn it into a fanfic, or just a series of drawings with scenes I have in mind since University prevents me from spending much time on either of those things.
Well, this is Rhaego, the Stallion Who Mounts the World, or Who Will Mounts⦠He's only 14, GIVE HIM A BREAK!
Anyway, design explanation: I wanted to reflect not only his Dothraki heritage, in a way that still honors his Valyrian heritage, but also shows a touch of his personality: Even when casual, the prince dresses richly.
Over his bare chest, Rhaego wears a traditional hand-painted leather jacket, a gift from his sister, who painted the jacket in the colors of their house, featuring several embroidery of the three-headed dragon from the Targaryen sigil; the black and red scarves at his waist are held by two belts, one of bronze medallions holding Valyrian glyphs that means "Blood", "Power" and "Fire", respectively, and the other made of Valyrian Steel with rubies set into each of the "coins"; His braids are held back at the nape of his neck by a hair pendant whose end is shaped in the image of three dragon heads, with silver and gold rings, bells, black and red ribbons and other hair accessories along the length of the three braids that have never been cut. He also wears accessories all over his body, a scarf with rings on his arm, riding gloves that cover part of his forearm, several rings on both hands, silver earrings with rubies and most notably a Valyrian Steel necklace with a pendant in the shape of another Valyrian Glyph, "Raqagon" which means "Love".
