Description

I doodled this on the train a while ago. I was just passing time, but I like how it ended up. Dig those freckles!

*

I tried to draw her with a very "fertile" look. I was consciously thinking of Portrait of Arnolfini and his Wife. Margaery is a very sharp cookie (mixed metaphor!?), and she would certainly present herself as a sentimental alternative to a queen like Cersei. That young, fertile, demure, "girl-next-door" look is something that the Lannisters will never have; thus she can promote herself politically by preying upon the anti-Lannister sentiments of Kings Landing without doing anything more seditious than jaunting cheerfully down the streets of the capitol, throwing coins to the peasantry and laughing.

...Not that I over-analyze or anything. I just love semiotics. And intrigue. Ooh, the intrigue...

Margaery Tyrell,
from George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire"

Those freckles are pretty sweet. :D Her hair is awesome as well. She definitely looks young and 'fertile', but at the same time, she definitely looks like her grandmother's granddaughter. xD I love the House Tyrell.
