"The Dragon Has Three Heads, There Must Be One More" - Rhaegar Targaryen
This is my first actual photo-manipulation of A Song of Ice and Fire. Fans of the books are familiar with the character of Rhaegar Targaryen. While in the first three seasons of the show, he was briefly mentioned. First by King Robert and later by Ser Barristan Selmy. The story goes that Rhaegar was the dragon prince who had an eye for Lyanna Stark and abducted her, resulting in a war where Robert Baratheon & Eddard Stark formed a Rebellion against the crown. Robert killed Rhaegar in combat at the Trident, but when Ned found his sister again, she was dying giving him the last words 'Promise me, Ned'. Now everybody speculates what Ned Stark exactly promised, which I won't reveal. Though if you have seen season 6 the mystery is over. But I'll keep quiet for those who haven't. I made this because I really like the character of Rhaegar. There's a lot of interesting information regarding the character in the books, which is absent in the show.

For the picture, I used Viserys Targaryen's body as a base, using actor Ben Barnes' face to depict Rhaegar. I thought there was a high resemblance between the actor and other fanart of Rhaegar and he was mentioned by other fans who they would like to be cast if there ever was a prequel made of Game of Thrones. I also beefed the character up, because Rhaegar joined in tournaments like in Harrenhal, where he gave Lyanna the Winter Rose and named her the Queen of Love and Beauty. So I imagined he would be better built than his brother Viserys.

Edit 1: Someone made an edit of my picture. And I thought it was done well. I went for the same idea, to have his tunic look less worn out and to have him have the dark lilac eyes, the books say he has. Also I made his hair a little longer and I matched the colour of his hands to his face as they were paler.

Edit 2: I've changed the proportions of his body, because when looking back, his arm looked very long, because I had made his shoulders broader. So now I have shortened his arm a bit, which also makes them look a little bigger. He certainly looks like a stronger man that could take on Robert Baratheon.
