The Game of Thrones series is superlative in many ways, from its status as the all-time most pirated TV show to its creator’s uncanny ability to kill off all the characters we hold dear.
We would like to take a moment to add another item to the list of things at which the George R.R. Martin saga excels: inspiring fans to produce some truly stunning–and totally geeky–art.
As we await our latest Game of Thrones fix (and of course, the return of Jon Snow), have a look at the series’ best artistic depictions below:
