Funeral Pyres Winterfell

The Battle of Winterfell was won, but mankind had to pay a price. To burn massive amount of corpses, big funeral pyres had to be designed. We went throgh various concepts until we found a nice balance between a respectful arrangment and a maximum number of corpses - after all a lot of people died in the battle. We really didn´t want to show high amounts of bodies carlessly put on top of each other - the Northerneres want to honour the soldiers that gave the ultimate sacrifice.

You can find some of the initial sketches on my website.
