Description After watching the last episode of Game of Thrones I just HAD to make some fan art! It didn't turn out exactly how I imagined, and I'm not suuuper happy with it. (I wanted to go for a simple/ speedpaint look, but it just turned into some weird middle thing). But I'm posting it anyway just so I can talk about how GREAT this episode was. WOW! It was such a rollercoaster of emotions, I literally just wanted to scream half of the episode, both from happiness and from sadness and frustration. It was so intense! And Sansa, OH MY GOD! I always knew she would come out on top! That was amazing. And Jon Snow, Tormund and Davos... Just WOW! And that ending.... This is the best show ever made
WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK?  I was such an emotional wreck afterwards!

The Wolfs are back, baby! Jojen was right (not sure that he said it in the series but he sure did in books)! The retaking of Winterwell was one of the scenes I wanted to see! The Starks are back in action, and now they mean serious! I'm glad to see Sansa getting smarter during the past seasons. Especially that trick wih "Baelish's game". Little Sansa is not the naive girl who leaved Winterfell in season one. Now she is the person to deal with. And that's good. For Jon in the first place. Because Jon... well just being overloaded by emotions sometimes.

Great work. Especially lady Stark. Determined Sansa is so determined! Exellent! Just exellent! Keep it up, you doing amazing.

Sweet job!

And I'm glad Sansa got her revenge on Ramsay! This time she got the chance to tell off her tormentor while she never got that chance with Joffrey, but at least she got her revenge when she unknowingly sentenced him to death by telling Olenna the truth about him and how her necklace was her weapon.

And Jon is finally the King! And now we know he is Lyanna and Rhaegar's son, he is able to marry Sansa (now shipping it) and Sansa, while annoyed everyone is crediting him for her getting the Vale to help, she knows Jon values and credits her for his victory so I don't think she will betray him. And I know she will take down Littlefinger for selling her to Ramsay, and when she finds out he is behind her fathers's death and the war and is going after Jon, she will become a true she wolf.

Like in the game of chess, the queen ALWAYS protects the king, and protect the king Sansa will do.

I almost love your commentary on the episode more than the art itself. <3 this is a stunning piece. Lovely color palette.

This is definitely the best show ever created.

Holy, epic-ally magnificent! This Wondrous Starks Taking Back Winterfell Piece is stunning and Jon and Sansa look incredible! The designs, expressions, poses, Stark sigil, flag, winter coats, eyes, hair, snowfall, armor, dire wolf, background, effects, realisticness, perspective, movement, atmosphere, hues, textures, concept, composition, uniqueness, colors, lighting, style, and other details are also sensational! Amazingly radical work!

Wonderful work, I really like the in-between sketchiness and semi-realism.

I loved how Ramsay finally got his justice, though I have a feeling Sansa has become a heartless sociopath just like him. She had her revenge, I wonder what kind of human she's going to be now. I hope she shows the North who's the boss now and make them face consequences for betrayal. 
Also, technically Winterfell goes to Littlefinger. He's the most clever player - while other houses were battling and their forces melting, he's one of the few with strong army now. I keep wondering though why no one noticed 15,000 men army marching from the Vale to Winterfell. No ravens to warn Ramsay, even though most houses took his side. I wonder if he went by sea, landed in White Harbor and managed to arrive unseen because Manderlys are still Starks' people. LF could buy ships from Essos, money never was much of a problem for him. I have a feeling though we'll never know, that's too much logic for D&D.

I'm also all hyped for Dany riding Drogon and battling with released Rhaegal and Viserion. Siblings finally reconciled

Thanks so much

Oh, I think Sansa is defintely becoming quite dark... Have you read the books? She reminds me of someone there I'm sure she'll be getting some revenge from now on.
We all knew Littlefinger was a sneaky SoaB xD But yeah, those are some very good questions! I have no idea how they did that. And I was just about to say the same, they may never really explain that on the show..

SpaceCastaway In reply to SandraWinther [2016-06-25 13:18:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I've read all Martin has published so far in books, but I'm not up with most recent chapters. I've heard theories that Sansa in show will cover for what Lady Stoneheart was up to in books. (Actually I prefer books over show but I'm waiting for the whole book to come out).

SandraWinther In reply to SpaceCastaway [2016-06-26 20:36:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I haven't read the chapters either, just the books. And that's what I was thinking of, about Sansa covering Lady Stoneheart's role. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess it could be really cool as long as she doesn't turn into a villain (which LS kind of did for me )

Yes, great fucking episode, Sansa is a boss ass bitch, and i was literally copying jons punching actions just to feel like i was punching Ramsay. Also those dragon scenes... my god, TARGARYENS ARE THE SHIT!

On my heels for most and other times not 

Upset over that I got no Ship battle between the Masters and the Greyjoys - though made use of the dragons - I just feel that they shouldn't waste that money on dragons - Drogo was enough in the early episodes. 

Much more I wanted season 6 to focus on the north as the main and keep short scream time for others - Dany ego is too big for me in this episode like we get it we seen it keep gain power and she'll fall hard like people think oh dragons she be on top for years to come and win the game. No, she won't for dragons fell before and they can again - though I will give credit for showing how Target she is and maluptivieness of her nature. 

Now the battle that was intense feeling that made me slightly sick when I though Ram was aiming arrows at Jon was just for Rick - Why kill him? makes no sense he shouldn't never died - though they could've at least shown the beast mode Jon like the books (out of all hearing of dead family seeing it should've really done it but if felt lacking to me) 

Sansa congrats Jon is secretly hating you but loyalty and duty is preventing me from expressing it and seems like from the trailer for episode final he is struggling to cope and bond with Sansa now that he all alone but little finger may as well break that and may be just maybe the North Remembers may come to light. 

Ramsy oh Ramsy you should've listened to your father and I will say this - he has the best character matched death of the season! top marks S class standard. Well, he did request a dragon related death after all..... 

"A Wolf , A Man and A Wolf Again" interesting how the show interpreted as house banners, Stark (Wolf) and Bolton (Man - or flayed man) - another good point for me. 



Now for your fanart, You captured it very well a wonderful job I hope to see your newer version (so then maybe you like it better yourself)

I must say I am a little more positive towards the last episode, but then I just love everything that Game of Thrones throws at me no matter what xD I loved that they finally showed all 3 dragons in their full size, and fighting for Dany! Rickon dying was heartbreaking, mostly because Jon was running to get him. That was intense!
Do you really think Jon is mad at Sansa after this?
And I agree about Ramsay's death! Sad to see such a great actor leave the show, but it was awesome for the story!

Excellent painting!   Yeah the episode was epic in every way, the battle was legendary and I'm glad that ramsey got what he deserved and Cercei is the next haha I'm just sad for Rickon and Sansa that who knows what kind of deal made with Petyr >_< We'll see what happens the next episode ^^

SandraWinther In reply to PovedaM [2016-06-21 10:08:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it was so gratifying when Ramsay got what was coming to him! I'm kind of hoping Petyr will turn out to be a nice guy but I don't think so, and he is too creepy anyway! But yeah, it will be interesting to see what he wants from Sansa! I was also super sad for Rickon, that was heartbreaking!

PovedaM In reply to SandraWinther [2016-06-21 18:33:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that Petyr cannot be a good guy, I'm sure as hell he'll marry Sansa as soon as possible, but maybe she has cool hidden plan! Also, I want Arya to get to Winterfell fast so all the badass Starks give those white walkers a lesson!
