As you might be aware I have big feelings about all besnouted creatures, but recently something has been grating on me. Sometimes, when people draw a snout animal, they draw the snout as a nose with the mouth as a separate entity underneath. This is a stylistic choice I greatly dislike because a snout or trunk is, by definition

A COMBINATION OF THE NOSE AND UPPER-LIP.

Three pictures of an elephant, a pig, and an aardvark. Their mouth parts have been traced in red to highlight the shape of their snouts.

You can see here that the snout is not a separate entity from the mouth in these mammals, but is a fleshy protuberance emanating from the upper jaw. 

Two drawings of an anthropomorphic pig face, one with the mouth separate from the nose, another with the mouth and nose incorporated as a proper snout. Both pigs are smiling, but the second seems somehow more genuine than the first. This image is captioned "It has a warmer feel." Next given are two examples of anthropomorphic pigs, Peppa Pig, and Richard Scarry's Pig Will and Pig Won't. Peppa Pig is captioned "cold, unfeeling" and Richard Scarry's pigs are captioned "warm, compassionate."

You can see in this illustration how a more anatomically accurate snout position gives an anthropomorphic pig a degree of charm that an inaccurate snout position does not.

Snout positioning can make or break a character design for me.

A very rough map of some of my inspirations for my GoT redesigns.

Each “region” has only one image to represent their general inspiration/vibe. I thought about doing a more intensive/more references version of this sort of thing like I have for my other redesigns… but quickly whimp-ed out. Way too many reference eras/images and at this point with how fantasy/combination-y these fantasy fashions are… maybe I’ll come back to it later. Probably not. After nearly 80 GoT redesigns I am lost in the sauce. But hopefully this sneak peak is able to help a little bit to illustrate what I mean by things like “Burgundian” or “Houppelande”.

I did not make the map of Westeros it is an official GoT one as far as I can tell.
