When Game of Thrones hit the TV screens back in 2011, it became an instant hit. Soon enough, seemingly the entire world was glued to their screens and obsessed with the immersive world created by the brilliant George RR Martin. Everything just clicked, the cast was perfect, and it was so epic that all of it stuck in the public consciousness. But like with all book adaptations, no matter how good, not all the descriptions were entirely accurate.

But we're not here to judge, we're here to celebrate the awesomeness of the entire GoT franchise. MsBananaAnna, a digital artist and a web model, is here to do just that with her character portrait reconstructions which are based on the original book descriptions, and it's really interesting stuff. There are some characters that weren't even shown in the series. Some descriptions (and AI recreations) resemble the cast, while some of them are surprisingly different. But let's not spoil the fun for you, just scroll on down and enjoy the content!

MsBananaAnna has given Bored Panda an exclusive interview giving insight into the art and the many other franchise-related topics. If you wondered if she's a true fan, there's no question about that: "I'm a huge fan of the books and the earlier seasons of the TV show." And yes, just like many, she thought "The series ending was a dumpster fire!" When asked which house she'd prefer to be in, she answered "Honestly, I would say I would love to be a Stark, though we know what happened to them... if anything, I do NOT want to be part of the Game of Thrones universe considering GRRM's proclivity to kill everyone!"

Her mouth is wide, her lips are swollen, and her nose has been broken more than once. She has large, beautiful blue eyes." — From AWOIAF.

Though Anna prefers the books, she has her own favorites in the TV series. "I am a huge fan of Tywin Lannister from the TV series but that's because Charles Dance did such an amazing job of capturing how terrifying and intimidating Tywin is." As for the AI portraits, Anna told which one she thought turned out best. "My favorite AI portrait that I rendered was probably Arya Stark. I was happy with how it turned out in terms of making her look like her beautiful Aunt Lyanna, with the typical Stark features, while still looking like a boy with short hair. I think I captured that well."

#4 Arya Stark

Arya Stark

"9-12 years old. Has the Stark long face, grey eyes, and brown hair. Greatly resembles Aunt Lyanna according to Bran. Short hair depicted when she cut it to look like a boy. Bullied by Sansa for looking horse faced, but several characters have described her as pretty."

#5 Cersei Lanister

Cersei Lanister

"Cersei is a strikingly beautiful woman, with golden hair, emerald green eyes, fair skin, and a slender, graceful figure." — From AWOIAF.

Artist's note: "Although she is considered by some to be the most beautiful of the seven kingdoms, her age was brought into consideration along with the prophecy that she will be replaced by a younger more beautiful queen.... so I tried to not make her beautiful but not as striking as described."

MsBananaAnna has been featured on Bored Panda before when she made a similar thing but with the Harry Potter franchise, and we highly recommend checking it out.

There are just so many in ASOIAF that I would like to see."
