People kept puzzling over this at my booth yesterday, because "Well, that's obviously Khaleesi*, but who's the guy, and why has he got the sword of Jon Schnee**?"

*(Few people realise that's not Dany's name.)

**(Yes, the series translated the names. The bloody names. I can't get over "Kasterlistein".)

He looks likr Maeshros ^_^ xD

Matěj Čadil

Haha, Kasterlistein :-D Really sounds like a name of a German castle (or Czech for that matter, they mostly have German names here too)

Paul Leone

Now I'm curious about the other translated names...

Corine Hefting

Ugh, translations...Since my old tablet cannot read my english copy of Storm of Swords, I'm stuck with the Dutch version for now. Every time you hear me grown now, I want to do something to the translator. I think I'll take Kasterlistein over Rots van Casterling though...

I mean, Nachtwache for Night's Watch is perfectly fine. But why did they think Germans would be unable to cope with "Lannister" so they had to "translate" it to Lennister?

Laura Michel

Nice piece! I'm not a lot into Song of Ice and Fire, but my eldest sister is... she'll love it when I show this to her. On the Spanish translation of names, I know lots of people are not happy with them, not even knowing about the original ones. Jon Snow might be the most annoying one, Jon Nieve, that is, but in Mexico we give the same name to snow and to ice cream. So, Jon Ice Cream, that would be. You can't help it but laugh about it! XD

I don't follow the books or the TV show, so I have to ask... Why were people confused? Simply because you didn't draw Jon like the actor who plays him? I like the art, though, and I agree that's kind of a Maedhros hairstyle. :D

Jenny Dolfen

Hee, yes, that was all it took - though to be fair, Dany looks a lot like she does on the show, so I see how it might be confusing. (As an extra bit of confusion, my Jon looks and has always looked a lot like his half-brother Bran, who, on the show, looks uncannily like he did in a picture I drew back in 2003!
