The first 4mins Game Of Thrones was amazing, Arya Stark is the biggest badass. #gameofthronesseason7 #gameofthrones #thenorthremembers #winterhascomeforthefreys #housefrey #housestark #aryastark

"Big Walder" Frey of #housefrey in the #Riverlands . This is the other 9 year old Walder that I referenced earlier. He is 52 days older than his cousin, but smaller and skinnier. The other quads on the banner belong to #houseblackwood in the upper right and #housepaege in the bottom left. He doesn't have a big part in the books. Often times, #GRRM just assigns random banners to insignificant people, and I'm left trying to remember who the hell a lot of these people are. You remember Lord Rossart? No? Well, he has his own banner as well! He was a crooked maester that was obsessed with wildfire. Or how about Ser Quentyn Ball aka Fireball? He has one as well that I drew and I dont even remember which time period he lived in (predates the Dunk and Egg stories I think). But they, next time you read the books you'll be able to separate Big Walder from Little Walder (for all 10 pages they appear in the books)! #forthethrone #gameofthrones #asoiaf #asongoficeandfire #prismacolorpencils #heraldry #fanart (at Saint Louis Park, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwqWV8AlOD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o9po4hpxmxfd

"Big Walder" Frey of #housefrey of #thetwins in the #Riverlands Quartered: House Frey in quadrants I & IV, #housebracken in II and #housefrey in III I'm just gonna go ahead and get through the Frey banners since there's several. This coat-of-arms belongs to a mean 9 year old who is big and mean. Like most of the lickspittles that infest the Frey house, this guy was named after Lord Walder Frey to win his favor. The naming conventions in #asongoficeandfire get a little confusing at times. Outside the Targaryen family (with their 12 different Aegons), the Freys are the hardest to follow. Little Walder is younger than his cousin Big Walder, and yes, Little Walder is a big, fat, mean kid and his cousin Big Walder is a skinny twerp. Then there's Black Walder, another mean and gruesome motherfucker. He's basically the Frey's version of the Hound. They're not super important in the story, but they each have a banner, so that makes them important to me. I will say the personal coat of arms were the least enjoyable to draw. Most quarterly banners were repetitive, boring, and utterly passionless pieces...but I still managed to push through them. #prismacolorpencils #fanart #gameofthrones #asoiaf #georgerrmartin #forthethrone (at Saint Louis Park, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buo9rUPAv2a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vx1j022iizkw

Ser Cleos Frey of #housefrey of #casterlyrock This is the first individuals banner I've done. A lot of solo banners prefer to have a quartered field, often times using both parents sigils in their own. Cleos Frey did just that. You'll remember him as the knight who accompanied Brienne and Jamie after his released to find her daughters. One of my favorite things about Frey characters is that they are very droll after one of them dies. This was a fine example of a banner I did not want to do. Quartered banners ALWAYS took way longer than one that wasn't. And most of the personal banners were quartered, so I quickly grew to loathe them. Those were my "final boss" type banners I just had to sludge through because they were so time consuming. This one had the distinction of my two least favorite banners to draw (mostly because I've already drawn them so much.). The funny thing about this banner is that now I have since drawn new sigil for each of the #frey and #lannister and I could probably do one that rocks your goddamn socks off....I'll make note to do a new one. I like doing new ones from time to time as well. This one could look pretty good. #forthethrone #gameofthrones #asoiaf #asongoficeandfire #westeros #georgerrmartin #prismacolorpencils #Prismacolor (at Eden Prairie, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/shieldfactory/p/BuK6J40APTf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2u9obthuf2u8

#housefrey of #thetwins in the #Riverlands attempt 3. This was actually the "final" Frey banner for a while. I used this image on the personal coat-of-arms for each Frey. One aspect of art, or any creative endeavor, I didn't think about was the drudgery that can come with it. When I staked out to finish the Frey banners, I did them all at once. I knew I was going to have to draw these twin towers over and over. To get over it...I just stopped thinking about it. It didn't make it fun or enjoyable, but I was less miserable than if I kept thinking, "I hate this!" Even posting an Instagram post everyday, if the posts are more or less the same each day, can turn into a chore. But that's what happens when a passion turns into work, doesn't it? The shine of the bliss starts to fade and the truth about the creation starts to come out: there are obstacles, this is messy, why don't you go do something more fun? But when you remind yourself of all the time that you've already put in and how far you've come for no pay, the noise quiets down. #forthethrone #asoiaf #asongoficeandfire #gameofthrones #georgerrmartin #heraldry #prismacolorpencils (at Saint Louis Park, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/shieldfactory/p/BuGteecAT7Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w1j8p06zzdkd

#housefrey of #thetwins in the #Riverlands attempt 2. By this time, I had switched over to #prismacolorpencils but was still using Sharpie marker. Another indication of how early this drawing was, you can see little white lines in the blue where I had erased pencil. And I'm gonna keep this a short one because I was getting an estimate on my car. I will say that, with exception to Targaryan, I think I've drawn this charge more than any other Westeros symbol (all the many Freys have their own personal banners). #forthethrone #gameofthrones #asoiaf #asongoficeandfire #heraldry (at Saint Louis Park, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/shieldfactory/p/Bt8rcfnAJZx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dqh6eens4cly
