Artist's Comments

A wintery scene they said, so I thought I'd be amazingly original and draw An Other.

I've been doing a lot of asoiaf art recently, possibly because I have 3 huge essays that need writing before Xmas.
If you're going to procrastinate, ya might as well do so by drawing.

Drawn incredibly wee on the Nintendo DS. Animated version here. [link]

Is it me or are there two types of Other?
1) Original (and best) pure Other. All otherworldly, with fancy crystal swords, flashy armour and speaking some special Othery language.
2) Zombie shambling undead Other, ex-wildling or ex-black brother, shanghied into Otheryness and mindless slavery.

This is supposed to be a Version 1 type, about to make a Version 2.

I always assumed the "Others" were the armor wearing mystery ones, and the wights were just the things they left in their wake

Others and Wights - that's it. (It was confusing me.)

Shamefully (considering how much of an art fantard I am over asoiaf) I've only read the books once over.
:iconsir-heartsalot:
wowie! Actually I've only read them like once all the way through. I reread certain chapters though.

Thank god! I thought it was just me. (Now I feel like I've just "come out" on DA, only read the books once - what kind of a fan d'ya call yourself.)
:iconcarizzio:
Great picture. ^^
It actually looks cold and the crow appears kind of alien in the landscape because of the red.


Well, as it was said already said there are the Others and the Wights.
The Others are far more powerful than the Wights since those are something like their zombie servants as I understood it.

The Others show up just twice in the book while the Wights are a lot more present if I remember correctly.
:iconmotodraconis:
I did find it a bit confusing, but that might be because the Nights Watch are a bit hazy on what exactly their enemy is and all.
:iconcarizzio:
Originally it was the Others.
But they kind of vanished for a time so they had to pick on the wildlings.

When Stannis shows up they are all like; we have a common enemy so lets team up.
It is sad they don't team up with the wildlings and let them through. It was never their job to keep them out and both sides would profit from it.
