"I know she is proud. How not? What is left to her but pride? I know she is strong. How not? The Dothraki despise weakness. If Daenaerys had been weak, she would have perished with Viserys. I know she is fierce. Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen are proof enough of that. She has survived assassins and conspiracies and fell sorceries, grieved for a brother and a husband and a son, and trod the cities of the slavers to dust beneath her dainty sandaled feet."

Jakub Rozalski is a concept artist now based in Germany who works at mobile studio Goodgame.  His amazing digital paintings are works of historical fiction that portray Soviet mechs drawn as if from the twenties.  Specifically, he uses Photoshop to blend large, fictional walking war machines, or "mechs," into rural climates from early 20th-century Polish villages, creating rural dystopian scenes.

"History is my passion," explains Różalski in an interview with My Modern Met. Through the works, he says, "I wanted to combine the classic motifs of cavalry, the Polish army, life in the countryside, Polish paintings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century modernist design, [and] giant robot battles in order to [present] our [Polish] history and culture [in] original and interesting ways for a contemporary audience."
