Game of Thrones fans can get a little antsy waiting for the new season. April 24th starts to seem like a long way off and sometimes fans get…creative in how we direct that energy, manufacturing fake images of the season to come.
Well, this year we decided to channel that enthusiasm in a more fun direction with our very first Photoshop challenge! We challenged our readers to show us their hopes, wishes, and suspicions about the new season, creating new images for everyone’s enjoyment. Skill was not necessarily required, only cleverness, humor, or an idea. We asked you all to show us what you’ve got, and Game of Thrones fans delivered.
Based on the submissions, it seems fans want to see in season 6 a whole lot of payback, the return of bastards and kings, ships coming true, dragons, hype and violence. Lots of violence, but then this is Game of Thrones.
As promised, we’ve chosen a grand winner of the contest, and a runner-up, based on deliberations among the Watchers on the Wall staff. We had a great selection to choose from and it wasn’t easy. Thank you to everyone for your submissions, and we hope you all enjoy their offerings!
{Warning: Image-heavy post!}
First off, we’d like to announce the winners of the Photoshop Challenge!
He delighted us with many of his contributions but this one made the Watchers laugh the hardest. The Grand Prize Winner is Bryan Kremkau, with his “Weekend at Jon’s” entry.
“Coming to a theater near you: Weekend At Jon’s starring Jon Snow, Davos Seaworth, Dolorous Edd and Melisandre”
As the Grand Prize Winner, he’ll receive Ygritte and Oberyn Martell collectible figures, from the officially licensed Dark Horse Comics line of Game of Thrones toys.
We have a runner-up, as well. Taking home a lovely new Margaery Tyrell figure from Dark Horse is Almasy, with their well-made vision of a meeting between two queens.
“I would love to see an epic showdown between Cersei and Daenerys in Season 6 of Game of Thrones — so I put this together to imagine what it might be like!”
Congratulations, Bryan and Almasy!
Here are all the contest submissions! We’ve divided them into Non-Spoilers and Spoiler Sections, so readers can skip spoilers if they prefer. Entries using simple speculation or material from the trailers are NOT considered spoilers.
Anything using unfilmed ASOIAF material, anything involving the HYPE, filming spoilers or even filming rumors goes in the Spoiler Section just to stay on the safe side.
