So Spake Martin Update

More reports from GRRM’s signing tour have been placed in the So Spake Martin collection.

Chinese Interior Illustrations

A member of the new board pointed out that illustrations from the Chinese edition of A Feast for Crows have been put up at a Chinese-language website (possibly that of the publisher). It’s not clear whether these are illustrations or cover illustrations, as the Taiwanese edition of the novel was split into three volumes.

So Spake Martin and FAQ Updates

Reports from GRRM’s signing tour, plus a lengthy mail from GRRM to Amok regarding the apperances of the crowned Targaryens, have been placed in the So Spake Martin collection. Also, the FAQ has been updated to look forward to ADwD.

Last Targaryen Portraits

Wrapping up Amok’s series of Targaryen rulers portraits for the Art of Ice and Fire art book are three final images.

He has also posted GRRM’s descriptions for these three rulers, the Mad King Aerys II, Viserys the Beggar King, and Daenerys Stormborn with her dragons.

Aegon V and Jaehaerys II

Amok has updated his website with three more of the images of the Targaryen kings that he painted for the Art of Ice and Fire art book.

He has also posted GRRM’s descriptions for these two kings, Aegon V the Unlikely and Jaehaerys II.

Board Fundraiser

Now that the board has successfully migrated and proved to work very well indeed, it’s time to raise funds for it. If you’d like to read more, or contribute, please go to this thread.

UPDATE: We successfully completed this fundraiser in a little over 12 hours, so it is not closed. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

54mm Diorama Hints

Tom Meier of Thunderbolt Mountain has revealed details of the first three 54mm dioramas he’s creating for Testors, as GRRM paid a visit to his workshop to personally inspect and approve the figures.

GRRM Interview

Roz Kaveney has posted her interview of GRRM that she has written for Time Out. Misspelling Cersei’s name aside, it’s quite an interesting interview, although somewhat spoilerish. In particular,  it contains a fascinating quote from GRRM when comparing Daenerys’s travails in A Dance with Dragons with those of another POV character in A Feast for Crows.

Another Pair

Amok has updated his website with three more of the images of the Targaryen kings that he painted for the Art of Ice and Fire art book.
