Description The Lannister Twins from ASOIAF in my own interpretation.

I really enjoyed the way Martin portrayed them throughout the series and how he described their shared and their separate developments. Of course there are far more likeable characters in the story, but somehow Cersei as the aging beauty suffering from her lack of potency (and going batshit crazy) left a certain impact on me... and Jaime, as her counterpart, too. At least the two are thoroughly entertaining in their horrid, odious ways.

I actually wanted to draw a playing card with the two of them, hence the layout, but when I started to let them grab each others arm, it sort of ran away into this direction.
It really painted itself. I fear there are many flaws in this, and the faces may seem a bit odd (this impression dissolves though if you zoom into the picture, i think).

By the way, I started painting the faces from one and the same sketch, adding certain female or male details to the rough idea.

I really hope you fans like it!

Feel free to add criticism and comments. I would love to hear your opinions!! <3

PS/EDIT:

I noticed this picture looks really terribly yellow on some screens. On mine it's rather well-balanced. It's intended to be with a golden touch, but not plainly yellow, if anybody is wondering. Please tell me how it looks on your screen!

Oh wow.... your work is beautiful. This so beautiful. I'm honored that such a talented artist as yourself noticed me enough to shoot me a Llama badge. This is so great, I love the balance and the colors and the designs and everything. <3

Oh ^///^ I was already stammering on the inside that I didn't actually give you a llama and felt bad. Thank you so much for your kind words! You're a real sweetheart. Actually, there's no reason for me not to give you a llama, you cheered me up with this after all and I like your work as well ^^

oh thank you for this nice comment and the favorite it's great that you say they look alike, because somewhere in the middle of the drawing process they looked completely different from each other.
