Illustrations by Jack McKean
This weekend, the sixth season of Game of Thrones—the most popular prestige TV show on the planet — will come to a stirring finale undoubtedly filled with clanging swords, billowing green wildfire, and badass one-liners. Because we love the show, we challenged our friend and fellow nerd Jack McKean to illustrate a few of the show’s characters for us…from an animated perspective. In addition to the characters based on models from Batman: The Animated Series and Dexter’s Laboratory, scroll to the bottom to enter a special contest for the last illustration.
A mountain of a man with poison-filled veins, Ser Gregor Clegane (after Bane from Batman: The Animated Series)
A seductress dedicated to something dubiously greater than humanity, Melisandre (after Poison Ivy from Batman: The Animated Series)
An unpredictable killer with more faces than he should have, Jaqen H’ghar (after Two-Face from Batman: The Animated Series)
A clown with a crown who laughs at others’ pain, Joffrey Baratheon (after the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series)
A know-it-all brother and impudent sister, Cersei and Tyrion Lannister (after Dexter and Dee-Dee from Dexter’s Laboratory)
CONTEST TIME: Everyone’s favorite charmer, Ramsay Bolton (after ___________________)
THE CHALLENGE: The first person to annotate this story with the BEST GUESS as to which cartoon our pal Mr. McKean took as inspiration gets a special prize, courtesy of The Dot and Line. Kick us a note!
