In the episode’s behind-the-scenes feature, co-showrunner D.B. What set her off? Without any dialogue it may not be immediately obvious to viewers. In the finished episode, audiences saw Daenerys stare across the city at the Red Keep growing increasingly agitated and then, ignoring the advice of Tyrion and Jon, aiming straight for the castle and burning up both soldiers and innocents along the way. ![]() Gower, who was ultimately responsible for creating the finished look of the Night King, said the note he got was to create something “regal” with “familiar White Walker traits.” But Gower’s final design and this early concept art may have varied so much because, unlike with some of the other elements of the show, neither he nor the artists could really consult the books for inspiration. As Riley told Vanity Fair via email, her team had to create a “stand-in” character as a placeholder. But in the case of the Night King-who made his chilling debut in season four, episode four, “Oathkeeper”-Riley’s team didn’t necessarily have an actor or even a character design to reference when taking their first pass at creating the icy chamber where a baby was transformed into a White Walker. Often the artwork-created by multiple members of the team-included photo-realistic depictions of the familiar Thrones cast. The process of translating the ideas of the Game of Thrones writers room into the realities of what we see onscreen always started with a season outline from the writers and Riley’s team of concept artists. That design, along with hundreds of others, is rendered in lush detail in the new art book available from Insight Editions on November 5, but Riley and prosthetics designer Barrie Gower gave Vanity Fair some specific insight into the dramatic transformation of the Night King himself as well as a closer look at both some of Daenerys’s fiery moments and the evolution of the direwolves over the years. But The Art of Game of Thrones, by Emmy-winning production designer Deborah Riley, reveals an original concept for the character that was wildly different from the figure that skulked around the North of Westeros for four seasons. His silhouette alone is every bit as iconic to Game of Thrones as the Iron Throne itself. The Night King is now one of the most familiar and haunting figures in all of pop culture. ![]()
