Icons | Game Of Thrones

You know, I do watch shows other than Supernatural - way too many of them, actually - and Game of Thrones is one of them. I fell fast and hard for the show - basically within the span of the opening teaser - and it has such a gorgeous cinematography, I really wanted to make some icons. In the end I made more character icons than landscape ones though. I didn't find a source for screencaps yet, so I had to make due with the few images I was able to find on the internet. Anyway, if you're not watching this show, I can highly recommend it. It's a fascinating story about political machinations and intrigue in a medieval-like world with interesting fantasy elements thrown in for good measure. The acting is outstanding, the world building is careful and intricate and the characters have depth right from the start. The show really takes its time to highlight the characters and the world they live in, and I appreciate the slow pacing. So far I didn't really find a single thing to complain about the show. It's the highlight of my Mondays! ♥

Ooh, I don't watch the show but those icons are beautiful! It's funny but just a few days ago a teacher of mine mentioned Game of Throne in class. :)

Aw! Amazing icons hon. AND most of all, thanks a lot for introducing this show to me. Can you believe it? The first time I've read about Game of thrones was on your LJ. :D I was sneaking around and just saw your icons and the way you were describing the show got me interested.... I consider you to be incredibly smart and perceptive person, so when you praised the show the way you did, I knew I had to give it a try *gg*
I liked first episodes, but I thought that it wasn't THAT awesome. Still it kept me interested.... After 5th and 6th episode, I'm so hooked, I can't wait to watch ep 7. I guess my fave character is Jon Snow, but maybe it's also because I'm desperate to see what happens next with the Wall and While walkers, LOL. All in all, the show is very exciting!
