A Song of Ice and Fire: Sansa/Sandor Fanart Lineart

[pennswoods]

Since I've been back from Lubricus, I've been completely obsessing over the many hanging threads in the four published books so far, and I find myself shipping Sansa/Sandor so extremely hard. I might even start lobbying for the next Seeing Snape In roundtable for snapecast to focus on Sandor "The Hound" Clegane. I'm such a sucker for tortured assholes with redemptive arcs.

And thus, I have been driven to commit fanart. This is from A Clash of Kings and is therefore being put behind a cut in order not to spoil those who haven't yet made it through that particular book. I think I might call it either "Sing for Your Little Life" or "Save our Sons from War, We Pray". I'm uploading the lineart here just because I think I'm going to ruin it once I begin to lay down color. This is probably going to turn out to be one of those cases where the vision exceeds the artist's ability.

Oh, that is beautiful!
I see the Snapiness in Sandor Clegane, totally, so you don't have to twist my arm about that roundtable.
Erm, you know that you can make some xerox copies of your drawing onto the regular paper that you draw on? Trim the drawing paper to the 8.5 X 11 size of the paper normally in the machine and just put in in the bin. Adjust the lightness/darkness controls to get a line quality on your drawing that is workable for you. The xerox line drawing is permanent, and you can't blend into it with the color pencils the way you can with a normal pencil underdrawing, but... it's insurance, so you can try again if you mess up the first drawing. You won't, of course...
One of my friends who hated lithography got around the class requirements for editioning prints by xeroxing on printmaking paper. :)

Ah, this sounds like an excellent plan. I'll have to get my hands on a copier that I know well enough to adjust light and darkness. I'm afraid that I tend to scan fairly dark for the purpose of online display and that sort of messes up things.

That's a beautiful drawing! And I agree with you about this ship - entirely.

I am shipping myself to distraction here. They just hit all the right buttons. Ugh!

I think I need to take my time with this one so I don't accidentally ruin it. I've just inked the lineart and am ready to put down color. This is where it can go so horribly wrong. Ack!
