George R. R. Martin's next book is coming. No, not that one.
The author talked at 92Y in Manhattan on Sunday about "The World of Ice & Fire," his new book chronicling the history of Westeros. During the talk, Martin revealed that the Westeros portrayed on television's "Game of Thrones" can be gorgeous, but it's not always how he envisioned it would look.
"I wanted accurate versions of these castles. We’ve had a number of different artists draw them on covers and on the fantasy like cards and games, and some of them have been beautiful images but not necessarily accurate to what I described," Martin said of his vision for the world.
The author said for this new book, he worked closely with artists to make the images and locations match how he envisioned them in his "mind's eye."
Seems really cool, I always love concept art.
