I started reading Game of Thrones a few weeks ago. It's a beautiful story, but thus far - so very depressing. The story has gotten inside my head pretty well, so when I was looking for reference poses I found myself drawn (pun totally intended) to more medieval costumes.
This was done in about an hour, with mechanical pencil in my sketchbook. A reference was used for pose, but I tweaked the face/body structure a good bit.
