I've recently embarked on a graphic design poster series featuring the art of architecture of George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. If anyone has any ideas for additional pieces, I'm always open to suggestions. Let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy!

The first two are great, but the typography in the third is just a bit too indiscernible with the surrounding gradient.

Great, but yeah the typeface on the third is merging in with the background. Either move it or switch colours. Really like these though, very nice. :^:
Thanks for the feedback, I'm adjusting the font color on the Eyrie to pop a lot more.
The Wall and Riverrun are great suggestions, I think I will tackle them in that order. I can definitely see an image with Castle Black nestled into the The Wall, hidden in the shadows, a decrepit shell of its former self.
I'll try to post some WIPs of Castle Black over the next few days, thanks!
Don't forget about The Twins and Sunspear. Those two should be fun. Instead of the wall you might be able to do Castle Black. There's also Dragonstone and Storm's End.
I almost forgot about Sunspear! I'm going to have a hard time not immediately jumping over to that one... That being said, here is an early block-in for Castle Black on The Wall. At this stage I'm just figuring out basic colors and shapes, next comes lighting and detail.
I won't explain this too deeply as I want to know if it reads well, thank you.
I read it as being some sort of hole in the ice where there's a wooden city beneath and some black holes.
Yes? But then again I haven't read any books or watched any episodes.
My only suggestion would be to introduce a little texture to these. They almost feel a little TOO digital, if you know what I mean? The world of GOT is dirty and rugged, even pristine places like the eyrie have their brutality. These feel too serene and detached.
I don't know the series but I like your posters very much! They are beautiful. The last one however doesn't read at all for me, it looks very abstract. I'm not sure, is it snow/ice with cracks, is it a sky with branches? Is it a rock with holes or deep sea with random shapes? I'm not too fond of all the black or almost black since you avoided it so much in the others. It also almost looks like you shaded the dark blue with black but when I look closely it's a darker blue.
This is all good critique. When I start a design I try to keep it simple to assess how well it "reads". I have a couple of other ideas for Castle Black that I'll be putting up soon.
Thanks for the great feedback!
Oh, and m3nace and mayday were both correct for those interested.
Oh God if I wasn't so busy and lazy right now I would be doing the same thing. these are pretty cool though, I like that you're taking a focus on the architecture, I always thought the westerosi castles all sounded really cool.

As for suggestions, there's always The Wall.
There's always Riverrun too.
