A few weeks back, a remarkable exhibit opened in Germany: Unseen Westeros, where artists from around the world — many of whom had worked on Game of Thrones — showed off their renderings of places from George R.R. Martin’s richly imagined fantasy world, places neither the show nor Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels had shown us in much detail, if at all.
Now, Javi Marcos, the administrator of excellent Game of Thrones fansite Los Siete Reinos, has uploaded a video showing off every piece of art at the exhibition. Enjoy:
Each piece of art is visually stunning, combining Martin’s rough sketches with the artists’ imaginations. If you don’t have time for the full 21-minute video, here are a few highlights:
My absolute favorite of the bunch is from Sven Martin, titled “Dragon.”
There’s just something awe-inspiring about a huge dragon peeking over the walls of some ruined city with fire dripping from its mouth.
Speaking of dragons, there are some Valyrian-themed pieces on display. Here’s “Valyria” from Sven Sauer:
And here’s “The Gate” by Max Riess:
Because wouldn’t you build giant dragon statues to mark your front door if you could?
Keeping with dragons, Benjamin Schulte depicts a sky full of them attacking a hapless city in “300 Dragons”:
There’s also great artwork depicting what the First Men may have looked like when they crossed the Arm of Dorne into Westeros. In “First Men 3” by Ulrich Zeidler, I can’t tell if the tree is mocking the man’s expression, or if the man is mocking the tree:
Meanwhile, Kristin Johnson depicts Dorne as it would be thousands of years later with “Planky Town”:
Might we see a scene like what Thomas Galad depicts in “The Long Night” in the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel?
Here’s “Greywater” by Tobias Mannewitz, showing us what House Reed’s Greywater Watch might look like:
If you ever wondered what Harrenhal looked like before it was blasted to hell by Aegon the Conqueror, Sven Sauer takes you all the way back to the beginning with “Construction of Harrenhal”:
Then there’s Sauer’s follow-up, “Burning Harrenhal 1”:
Finally, if you’re like Davos Seaworth and want to know where Missandei comes from, here’s “Naath 1” by Benjamin Höllrigl:
