Chapter Text
For those who have been wondering what Alaric's facial scars look like, well, here you go!
This is how Alaric looks like now if I had pulled him from my imagination rather use Ioan Gruffudd as an actor portrayal. Scars, graying hair, and also the robes he wore when he met Sansa for the first time. But don't let that face fool you. He only looks this way towards Sansa because that's his "I love this lovely Lady" face.
Admittedly, he doesn't look nearly as bad as Sandor's scars were described in the ASoIaF books. And they certainly look great for having only access to herbal and medieval medicine to help treat them. Because, quite honestly, they could be a LOT worse than what they are.
It took me almost 5 hours in total to make this using the DALL-E 3 AI art generator. Again, I'm too unskilled in digital illustration and lazy enough to not want to redraw him on paper. It would have taken me weeks to do that; especially, if I had to color it exactly as shown here.
Because of this, you guys are more than welcome to create and share your own fan-art if you're up to creating some! Just be sure to tag me so I can find it, please :).
Also, for those who have noticed the wolf by the fireplace, yes, that's Lady in all her glory! I couldn't resist adding her in. Especially, since she is technically Sansa's first courting gift from Alaric.
For those who are awaiting Part Nine, I'm almost done with it, promise! Unlike some authors, I don't have a beta or a team to help me when I'm doing the brainstorming, writing and editing. This is done entirely by me. That being said, I just have to write another add another page or two to wrap everything up and then edit it.
What do you guys think?? Thoughts, concerns, and questions are welcome!
