Illustrating Westeros: ASOIAF Artists Speak XX

Sep 22, 2015

To usher in the twentieth edition of Illustrating Westeros, we're pleased to present an interview with Tiziano Baracchi, known on DeviantArt as Thaldir, and our first artist from the legend of Fantasy Flight Games, which has produced so many enduring depictions of A Song of Ice and Fire characters and scenes. As an official artist, Tiziano brings significant insight into the industry and what it takes to perform and succeed in a competitive environment where deadlines are vitally important and professionalism is key.

Poll on my Facebook: Who Shall I Paint?

0 min read

Hello! I have a poll going on my professional Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Art-of-Tiziano-Baracchi/110373182354259?ref=hl I'm asking fans of my works and of ASOIAF. which character among those listed should I paint as an extra-limited edition print for the European Championship? One random-chosen commenter will win a print, otherwise this piece will ONLY be available at Castle Stahleck (print run will be 20 +1, the extra 'commenter' print will be marked with one letter instead than one number).

Honestly it feels like a piece of the theatre of the absurd, I'm posting here as an update to the people that read my first post and to spread the word a
