Beauty in Death On Game of Thrones

You could say that the deaths in Game of Thrones are pretty important — many would call them central to the plot. They’re shocking and gruesome, but they’re also beautiful.


HBO has partnered with studio agency 360i and artist Robert M. Ball to highlight the beauty of the deaths that make Game of Thrones such a shocking phenomenon. The project consists of 30 intricate illustrations representing the most poignant death in each prior episode leading up to season four.


The series, which gives new meaning to the term “graphic death,” was inspired by the overflow of artwork that fans of the show and book produce as part of their unwavering devotion.


Check out the posters in the gallery below, and don’t miss the hidden references and Easter eggs littered throughout each image. You can view the rest of the series at HBO’s dedicated website for the project.
