Kotaku has the first look at the art of Game of Thrones Season 5 featuring Daznak’s Pit (above), the battle at Hardhome, The Titan of Braavos and more under the cut!
Karakter, the German studio who has worked with HBO since the beginning (follow the link for earlier art) offers a behind the scenes look at their breathtaking artwork for the latest season of Game of Thrones.
An action-packed scene at Hardhome featuring wights and Wun Wun.
With “Daznak’s Fighting Pit”, we wanted to evoke the illusion that it was part of an ancient cultural realm and heritage. For that, we were drawing upon the designs the art department had made for other sets in the same virtual city, and built a sketch of the arena in 3D. On top of that, we added texture, mood, and action by illustrative means.

A stunning shot of the Titan of Braavos and the city itself in all its beauty.
The final shot where we last left our Mother of Dragons and the herd of Dothraki.

Which is your favorite from Season 5? Let us know in the comments below!
Hodor!
Or rather Khaleesi. I’m particularly fond of the first Daznak’s Pit image. It’s so vibrant and dynamic.
Yeah, most of them are Danny. Fantastic drawings, just wished there were others too 😛
They’re all stunning… this artist is amazing!
Nathan Moore,
Go to the link. Lots of others.
Love the Theon picture. New computer background for sure.
Gorgeous art – they look like photos, not paintings.
Why Kotaku? Kotaku, like its parent company Gawker, is repugnant.
Very pretty pictures
Some beautiful pics there! Thanks for the link.
Hmmm… I think Bronn should really reconsider Lollys… that castle is Truly Beautiful … and Accidental Murder is so common in Westeros.
These are gorgeous, lovely wallpaper choices now!
OT – just saw Kerry Ingram’s tweet and can’t stop laughing, not sure if I’m allowed to post the link here but will give it a try:

Young I was, and vain, but the sea washed my follies and my vanities away. That man drowned, nephew. His lungs filled with seawater, and the fish ate the scales off his eyes. When I rose again, I saw clearly.

Site says “some of their favorites”, gee I would like to see the rest!
This is great stuff.
Stunning, absolutely breathtaking
I couldn’t help chuckling when I saw they painted Daenerys with her sempiternal blue outfit.
Daeryssa,
LOL, that’s hilarious!
