Few shows make people feel… anything, quite like Game of Thrones does. When a character on the show dies, it makes people happy, but usually sad, depressed, angry. And in honor of these dead characters, comes this wonderful art project.
Ertaç Alt?nöz, or ertacaltinoz on Deviantart, took the more notable dead Game of Thrones characters from the TV show and gave them a Wight (GOT zombies) kind of makeover, with the way of death of something from the death scene itself showing in the image, sometimes as hint alone, creating a powerful collage of morbidity and beauty fused together.
Lyanna Stark
Died giving birth to Jon Snow.
Khal Drogo
Ned Stark
Got his head chopped off.
Robb Stark
This one really broke my heart. Couldn’t believe what I was reading when I made it to the passage in the books.
Catelyn Stark
Got her throat sliced. In the show, she stays dead. In the books…
Tywin Lannister
Got a crossbolt in his belly while trying to have a quiet evening in the bathroom.
Joffrey Baratheon/Lannister
Poisoned at his own wedding. Tough luck.
Ygritte
Got arrowed.
Oberyn Martell
Got his face smashed the f*** in.
Hodor… Just Hodor
Died casually leaning on a door.
Margaery Tyrell
Burned down in a gush of wildfire.
Ramsay Bolton/Snow
Shireen Baratheon
Turned into toast.
The Waif
Met Arya, tried to kill her, should have known better.
Arthur Dayne
Died like a knight should: With a sword in his hand.
