It's hard not to get attached to the characters in a really good television show and the Game of Thrones Pinup series fleshes out that attachment in a very sensual way. For those who have harbored a strong crush on one or more of the hit HBO series' characters, this series will be very welcomed. It depicts the strong women as sinfully sexual -- which is not too far from the show's direction in general.
Created by Moscow-based freelance artist Andrew Tarusov, the Game of Thrones Pinup series does envision some of the characters in ways fans would not have imagined. This mainly refers to the depictions of Arya and Brienne. As far as fan art goes, Tarusov can be considered tame -- especially since the illustrations are given a slight innocent touch.
