In honor of the season four premiere of Game of Thrones, DeviantArtist 'Betteo' put together some gorgeous [Game of Thrones fan art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winterfell), depicting [over 30 different characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arr-x-kaws-sesame-street) from the show. Even though the characters don't have faces and they're represented in quite a [minimalistic style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zofriends), if you're a fan of the show, it's pretty easy to pick out who's who by their clothing, silhouettes and who they're standing next to. The art is deceptively simple-looking, but it's really quite packed with a lot of details.

Although not all of the characters make it to Game of Thrones season four, it's a great compilation of the stars from the TV show, both living and dead, as well as the characters who are loved, and even the ones fans love to hate.
