With Game of Thrones, nothing can be said to be certain, except your favorite character’s death and loads of fan-made posters. We might be over a year away from the season 8 premiere, but that hasn’t stopped aspiring artists and fans alike from creating their own take on the final season’s poster.
Kicking things off is a poster from Lord Snow on Twitter that was clearly meant to be the album cover for Westeros’ number one death metal band, The Journey Ends.
Obviously, Jon and Dany share vocals, while Cersei plays lead guitar, Tyrion plays base, Sam on drums, Arya on murdering people and stealing their face, and Drogon on cowbell. We always need more cowbell.
Next up, Daenerys Targaryen takes center stage. Here she is with some sort of icicle covering half her face, courtesy of Redditor Sleep1ngSun.
"[NO SPOILERS] Best fan poster! from gameofthrones"
Since season 8 should be all about how Dany and her remaining dragons help Jon Snow defeat the Night King, this poster is definitely apropos. Continuing with the “Daenerys on Ice” theme, Carlos Gzz on Twitter made this Dany-centric season 8 poster for the Winter Olympics.
There is a nice correlation between Daenerys now being with Jon and deciding to fight the Night King, and the Winter Games themselves. That, or she has clearly been watching too much ice skating and has become a White Walker.
Moving on, Redditor cubuffs424 shared this popular poster that seems to be making the rounds.
"[Everything] Cool fan made poster for S8 from gameofthrones"
King’s Landing is being assaulted by the army of the dead from the ground, while the Night King and Viserion attack from above. The wights are from the season 2 finale, “Valar Morghulis.” Next, Jon Snow holds Lightbringer, while watching dragons fight above a burning Winterfell.
This is a neat entry from GoTrealms on Twitter, as it sort of lines up with the massive SPOILERS coming in from Moneyglass, Northern Ireland. Lord Snow is back with an interesting look at the Night King breaching the Wall.
This is cool because now all I can hear is Ronald Reagan demanding Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this Wall!” Only, Reagan now has a dragon and hundreds of thousands of ice zombies at the snap of his fingers.
Adam Whitehead shared this next poster on Twitter, and it might be my favorite of the bunch.
This poster is a play on Star Wars character Grand Admiral Thrawn and, of course, Game of Thrones, with Jaime Lannister sporting the Chiss’ iconic red eyes. Finally, what should the season 8 intro logo look like? Redditor Kairo259 has a thought.
"[EVERYTHING] Would be awesome to see the intro for the final season done in ice to represent that winter is here to stay. from gameofthrones"
Ah, yes. Replacing the usual golden fire-tinged logo with an icy blue version would make sense, I suppose. Do you have your own Game of Thrones season 8 fan-made poster? Share them with us in the comments below!
