Not going to be able to go full force this month, but my goal is to at least do some clothing studies, portrait or animal studies and get closer to figuring out visual storytelling atmospheric lighting.
Since the 'genre change' section of this challenge focuses more on environments than it does on characters, and I'm not so sure if these ideas are acceptable as illustration entries, feedback would be appreciated as to how compatible they are:
Noire: The great houses of Westeros are Mafioso families which are part of a huge Mafia organization. The scenes that I can think of off the top of my head, which might be well suited to showing what a faction might look like in that context would be Tyrion shooting his father in the bathroom or a a variation on the red wedding.
Redwall ripoff: One thing I could focus on would be designing the Spider as an actual spider, or Daenerys as a mouse and her dragons as birds of prey of some kind. They'd probably have to be phoenixes if the "mythical fire beast" theme is supposed to be there, but maybe that'd be too much. Fire breathing bearded vultures might be an alternative.
The idea I had for this initially was doing the scene with Arya practicing swordfighting, but it would probably be difficult to make it game of thrones-y enough to be recognizeable.
Another possible route would be a big city in Westeros, or maybe the wall redesigned as being populated by animals of different kinds, but I think that would be very time consuming and difficult to get right.
