kimberlite8:

If you bought the 2012 ASOIAF calendar, illustrated by John Picacio, you might recall that October was the month for Sansan!

In retrospective, here’s John Picacio discussing the evolution of his Sansan illustration. From storyboards, using a real life model for Sandor, greyscale version, to the finished final color. Some things I thought were interesting:

  • GRRM suggested that a Sansan illustration be included in the calendar
  • Picacio loves Sansa’s hair because of the “Starry Night” quality that emerged unexpectedly from the composition.

Final words from the artist: 

And what better than the month of Halloween for a face like the Hound? It was a no-brainer that this artwork would be October’s. I look forward to seeing lots of scary, scarred Hounds roaming the streets on Halloween this fall.
