Artist Adrien Noterdaem has updated his original Game of Thrones and Simpsons mashup from July of this year with more characters from season one and two of the hit HBO series.
The latest batch of Game of Thrones characters to get the Simpsons treatment (in order of appearance) are Arya Stark, Olenna Redwyne, Margaery Tyrell, Ygritte, Brienne, Cersei and her twin brother Jaime Lannister. All characters in this Simpsons mashup don the traditional clothing familiar to their characters and are complete with the appropriate accessories, whether it be sword, staff or head dress.
Adrien Noterdaem's Simpsons mashup is incredibe. By combining the inherit seriousness found in the characters of Game of Thrones with the naturally comedic art style of The Simpsons, Noterdaem proves that everything is better when it's "simpsonized."
