Frontispiece from a book that looked at child development by following by one child over time. Between about the ages of four to eight, the child made these drawings and paintings.
“Remember who you are, Daenerys, … The dragons know. Do you?”
For my final #TargaryenThursdays I saved the best for last, the girl who started this all for me. Without Dany, I wouldn’t be here! I remember buying the books in 2012, a year after the first season had come out, and not having the motivation to start such a huge series. Then whilst scrolling here on tumblr, I found a gifset of this very smol girl with pale silver hair and I was so intrigued! (I started the first two seasons of Game of Thrones after that, then devoured the books and the rest is history!)
I started this drawing in January, and then suffered a motherboard failure, and thought I wouldn’t be able to get this back because I didn’t have the money to pay for a harddrive extraction. Then last week I taught myself how to do it on Youtube, and was able to start working on it again! I’m glad I am finally able to share this with everyone, and glad I was able to honor Daenerys in this way!
I’m hoping my girl makes it to the very end and lives to tell the tale, but regardless of what happens I am SO grateful that GRRM created such a fantastic female lead character in a fantasy series.
