Icon post incoming!

This post is the result of a few rainy days and nothing to do (I want those days back! Uni is hard work). Beware, the second bunch icons are a wee old.

Dude, these are all absolutely fantastic! I especially like the Stannis ones, lol.

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Merci. Haha, poor Stannis, always in the shadows, never in any icon. XD

[misstopia.livejournal.com]

Are some of these from the Corominas covers?

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Yep. His art is insanely pretty, no?
I think there's a new asoiaf artbook, but it's in spanish, from what I can understand (http://doriangraybd.blogspot.com/2008/07/el-arte-de-cancin-de-hielo-y-fuego.html)

[misstopia.livejournal.com]

Yes I want that very much, but I want everything and it seems that implies that I have to have money to spend :(

But anywho, I LOVE the icons! And yes I agree Stannis is in need of some love, that's how he ended up how he is in the first place :P Bookmarking in case snag.

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Hehe, thank you :)
I agree, the new art is pretty cool, from what I can see, so perhaps I'll try to get it...

[pojypojy.livejournal.com]

The art for the 1/17 batch is particularly pretty, who did it?

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Enrique Corominas. Here's his blog.l (http://doriangraybd.blogspot.com/search/label/A%20song%20of%20ice%20and%20fire%20art)

It's in Spanish (right?) so you'll have an easier time understanding what it says. I think there's going to be a new Spanish artbook?

[pojypojy.livejournal.com]

Yes, from what I can understand (and from what my Spanish friends told me a while ago) the Spanish publisher of ASoIaF made this artbook to celebrate the tour GRRM did in Spain this summer. That's where I got my book signed, actually :-)

I am glad they did something like this, because I keep thinking ASoIaF is sorta poor on the artistic side. I mean, one only official artbook and even rather hard to find? WTF? Idk, I think they could do more about it - I mean, that's thousands of pages, there's plenty of stuff to be illustrated :-)

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ah, so it's already out? Sounds like it's hard to get :( But it's awesome you got an autograph. I know I'd really like one, I already covet my Terry Pratchett one.

Yeah, well, if it's any consolation, there's the companion book, and the authors seem to have commissioned a lot of cool new art (ex. Ted Nasmidt) and according to Amok's site, there's going to be a new art book. But that's going to take a while....

[pojypojy.livejournal.com]

I'm getting a bit annoyed at the companion book thing - I mean, how long ago did they announce it? We are already being extra patient with the series itself, dammit! *pouts*

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

They announced it a long, long time ago. But they say that it's only going to get published after GRRM does his share. Which is after ADwD :(

I'm equally annoyed with the Dunk and Egg story. By all accounts it's pretty much finished. But they have to wait for all the other Warrior stories.

Gah, you can notice the lack of new asoiaf material on Ran's board. Everybody's basically bored out of their minds because everything's been rehashed and now there's only silly crackpot theorythreads.

[cyshobbitlass.livejournal.com]

Wow, these are really beautiful. When I get more icon space and/or get to clear out a bit of space I'm definitely taking some.

[cloud-wolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
Hey, mind if I friend you? Only seems right, seeing you're our Tyrell overlord. :D

[cyshobbitlass.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! I update rather infrequently though...just so you know :)

Icons

You are crazy, man! ;D I am Enrique Corominas, and you are a very good designer. :)

Hey, when I saw you reacted I practically had a heartattack thinking you might not like the fact that I used your art. So I'm glad you liked it, because I would hate to upset such a great artist!
