Wait, what?! What did you expect? :))

This one was fun to make not only because I'm a HUGE Game of Thrones fan. I don't know if it's noticeable but it was a bigger portrait than I normally do: it was done on an A3 page  (11.7 by 16.4 inches). 
It took me about 5 hours to finish. That's because I got lucky and got in the flow fast. Sometimes, it can take days to get right, but my win is steemit's win also!

I tried a different technique that I fell in love with: the Reilly method witch is more pictural than traditional graphite work, it’s more than the finished product, it’s about how you perceive the form, how you map the shadows, how to hold the pencil and how to sharpen it. Also very important is the calligraphy of the line work because every line is important and has it’s purpose. A very good artist that paints in this style is [Jeff Watts.](http://www.jeffreyrwatts.com/) ( Seriously, this guy is a damn genius!)

Although this drawing is not 100% Reilly method, I think that I took the best of it and tried to add a specific Mihai-flair.
I'm pretty proud of it and I hope you like.

What's next? *You tell me in the comments!*
acting on the suggestions from the comment, @ned, i tag thy! :D
