A commission for the kind Velahrr ! He asked me for my take on the House of the Dragon version of Rhaenyra and Daemon’s wedding . So this is kinda a hybrid between my design of the characters and the show’s clothes and jewelry (the little that is shown), plus the bl**d exchange.
Daughter of King Jaehaerys I &Queen Alysanne, sister-wife to Prince Baelon Targaryen, mother to King Viserys I&Prince Daemon, and dragonrider to Meleys. She was described as long-faced, skinny, had dirty blond tangled hair, lopsided smile and big ears. She had one eye color violet and the other color green. She broke her nose when she was six and it healed crooked. Alyssa had a warrior’s heart, she’s not a lady-like type of princess. She died from the complications of childbirth of her third child, Aegon. The child died a few months after her.
“…Though much weakened by his ordeal, King Viserys soon resumed the rule. To celebrate his recovery, a feast was held on the first day of 127 AC. The princess and the queen were both commanded to attend, with all their children. In a show of amity, each woman wore the other’s color and many declarations of love were made, to the king’s great pleasure. Prince Daemon raised a cup to Ser Otto Hightower and thanked him for his leal service as Hand. Ser Otto in turn spoke of the prince’s courage, whilst Alicent’s children and Rhaenyra’s greeted one another with kisses and broke bread together at table. Or so the court chronicles record. …Still later, the fool reports, Aegon the Elder took offense when Jacaerys asked his wife, Helaena, for a dance. Angry words were exchanged, and the two princes might have come to blows if not for he intervention of the Kingsguard. Whether King Viserys was ever informed of these incidents we do not know, but Princess Rhaenyra and her sons returned to their own seat on Dragonstone the next morning.”
Sorry for the long absence, I was really exhausted by exams, but now I’m happy to be back with new Fire&Blood fanart! It was interesting to draw Blacks and Greens wearing each other’s colors) Poor Helaena, I’m sure she didn’t mind dancing with Jace(
The amount of people shitting on Matt Smith’s looks because apparently, it doesn’t fit the description of what Daemon should look like just I’m literally reading the book, and no where did it said that Daemon was some beautiful, Legolas type of beauty. It was written that he was dashing, but no where did it said he was drop dead gorgeous. Y’all just shitting on him, because he doesn’t fit the conventional beauty standard, and y’all say that Robert Patinson and the dude from Witcher would be better? I love the hypocrisy of people. Anyway, I will be watching and enjoying Daemon’s journey, so .
