House Stark

[nayo]

I really like game of thrones and actually just finished the whole book series, so i wanted to make one coat of arms of the many they have there.

i will probably be making more of those again as I like the way this turned out!

[Arcy]

That turned out great! If you do more will you branch out into the other house mottos?

But is Winds of Winter coming?

[nayo]

Yup, i was thinking in doing House Greyjoy's Kraken next . So sad here people don't watch or read about that, so i don't think this is a salable product for here but no worries i did this for me.

and i wish George R. R. Martin finish that book soon, but the way he does things better not be to hopeful.

Very nice direwolf! I have been enjoying the series myself. I listen to the audiobook as I work around the house/shop. I don't seem to have enough time these days to actually sit down and read. I look forward to seeing your kraken.

Well, your thread title caught my attention!

I've been a huge fan of the books for over a decade. The tough part was waiting out the long gap in time between books 3&4 and 4&5. He went like 5-6 years! With the books having so many plots, sub-plots, sub-sub-plots, etc, it really is hard to just pick them up again, so I found myself going to sites like Tower of the Hand ~ An Encyclopedia of Ice and Fire go review some of the chapter synopses before picking up the latest books.

I think with HBO giving GRRM some pressure, he'll be a little quicker. In the meantime, I hope he watches his health (he's certainly not a small man by any measure )

I love the cutting.........indeed, Winter is Coming.

I really enjoyed the books as well. Except for the dragon chick. That part put me off the series.
I didn't know there were videos. Are they available to watch anywhere online?

I wasn't a big fan of Daenarys in the beginnng, either, but I have to admit she grew on me as the books went on.

HBO started a miniseries on the books last year. The whole first season encompasses Book 1 only. Season 2 came out this spring, and covered all of Book 2.

HBO has done a tremendous job on the series, I think, and they are definitely worth watching. The casting is fantastic,as well. Peter Dinklage, as Tyrion, is incredible. I know all of Season 1 is available currently on DVD. My guess is Season 2 will be out near the holidays. Season 3 starts on HBO next spring.

Thanks Shawn. I looked at some of the trailers and it looks as stark as the books.
My son in law is the one who got me to read the books so a set is probably headed to Germany for him next Christmas.

Two more thumbs up for the series on HBO.

The Game of Thrones stuff is wildly popular these days (covers of Entertainment Weekly, etc.--a few months ago, anyway, when the second season started up), so I'm pretty sure there would be a market for these if you decide to go that way.

This thread made me register for the forum. I mean that literally. I was so interested to see the pic I went through the entire rigamarole to enroll. Either this site has a ton of spammers or the owners are as paranoid as me.

Anyways, I love your Stark sigil, even though I think HBO made the direwolf a little crappy. I am interested currently in making a Targaryen crest for myself. I'm a newbie scroller but I love the potential.

[Scrolling Days]

Spammers? You know nothing John Blaze.

(inside joke for followers of the books/show)

Welcome to the forum, and I look forward to seeing your dragon crest!

[Forester21]

LOL @ Shawn......
I'm sitting here w/book 3 in my lap. When I'm done w/the books I'll borrow season 1 discs from my mom....

Oh... nice cutting! Lol

[nayo]

I am still waiting for the Winds of Winter, well, i think everybody is waiting for it

[DigBaddy]

Great books, great tv series and great cutting!! Can't wait to see more....I also have a few plans in my brain for the house crests and their mottos...just have to wait till after X-mas though.

Just don't hold your breath....GRRM took 5 years between books 3&4, and 6 years between books 4&5 (or was it longer?). There have been suggestions that his next two books will be about 1500 pages each, so we might be in for an even longer wait. Forunately, I think the HBO series will put some pressure on him to move the pace along a bit.....so long as they don't break book 3 into five different seasons.
