Description This literally took me FOREVER. The lovely idea to do a pre-raffaelite looking Catelyn was 's

Lysa Tully, Petyr Baelish and Catelyn Tully at Riverrun when young, before all the shit went down.
From A song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


To start of, not here to bash, but to be constructive.

Lines: Your use of them in this piece brings it the people, setting, and atmosphere into a stunning reality.
Color: The colors fit each other perfectly, a harmony in the dull hues, nothing fighting to come to the front, which I find both awesome and somewhat disturbing.
Repetition in Expression: I find that they all seem kind of complacent where they are, and it makes it seem more surreal, especially with the faces showing more thought than anything.
Balance: Perfect!
Energy: It shows off a lot of hidden energy, that of the water, and the lighting of the castle in the back.
So all in all, I am praising this in this critique.

To give some advice.... (Since I have to...) Make the colors contrast if you want it to be more realistic....that and the expressions, it seems dreamy, otherwise. That's all I got. Amazing work.

omg you drew lisa tully? really? how could you go in for that!?

okay, kidding aside.
i just love how you threw the cloth folds and the positioning of your characters. both girls looking away from P. ... it fits, really.

iΒ΄m not so much in love with their faces and necklines (especially the girlsΒ΄) the faces, i think, are a matter of taste. i simply find some of your other heads much more attractive, not only in terms of sexyness but in general. also caΒ΄s not so convincing with such a overwhelmingly soft look. her eyebrows seem to be drawn back just too far. (i think sheΒ΄s been a strong person before being married off to the north.)
on the other hand... ah well, anythings possible and after all itΒ΄s probably especially interesting to see her out of the tough mom mode. also i do understand that it comes with the style you chose for her. the pre raffaelite.

anyhow, what keeps bugging me when i give the picture time to settle, is lisas neck and jawline. it just looks so terribly hard, i feel that the transition from face to neck is missing and iΒ΄m not to sure about katlyns neck meeting the head in a proper angle and at the right place..

however, that are small issues and maybe youΒ΄ve already noticed them. Also itΒ΄s not always good to overanalyze pictures. they can easily loose their hidden beauty that way.
so iΒ΄ll just say this at the end: the overall composition is beautiful, especially the flowing gowns and hair.
i do like this pic a lot and it would be great to see similiar artworks from you in the future!

Aww, I love seeing things of Riverrun kids before the tragedy and dysfunction set in. Like other people have said, the muted colors make for such a lovely tranquil feel.

A very nice idyllic scene! I love how Petyr is looking at Catelyn almost like a shy stolen glance at her (that is the intent right?^^)
There is something about Catelyn's head tho that I find a bit awkward, the way it sits upon her neck - other than that, beautiful!

Lo amo tutto e (ripeto) ti odio perchΓ© se avessi uno schermo utilizzabile lo metterei subito come wallpaper e non ce l'ho. Waterhouse sarebbe fiero di te!

I adore Catelyn...Lysa and Littlefinger can jump out a moon door. Both sisters are pretty and you can tell which one is which. I like how Catelyn is gazing away with a dreamy expression, probably longing for Brandon or Ned, while Petyr looks at Cat with a similar expression.
