Taking a page from the book of Ukiyo-e Heroes, Jed Henry's series of traditionally crafted woodblock prints of videogame characters in the style of Ukiyo-e. Seiji will bring us on what Game of Thrones might look like in medieval Japan.

Instead of a war hammer, Robert wields a Kanabō, a club-like samurai bludgeoning weapon. His antlered helmet is inspired by the legendary helmet of the warlord Honda Tadakatsu.

The Ainu are thought to be the ancestors of the first inhabitants of the islands, and throughout history, they have lived independently in the cold far north, beyond the grasp of the Emperor.

Outside, the bridge of the Twins is noticeable, inspired by the very famous Bridge of Awate print by ukiyo-e master Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858).
Not like Ukiyo-e Heroes, Seiji's work is digital. His works of art are clever, detail-focused and well-drawn. Prints can be purchased from US$12.27 per piece from Redbubble.
