This piece was created by Hiyasmin Mithi Laya DeGuzman, a web designer, graphic artist and illustrator from Dasmarinas, Phillipines. I was drawn to this artwork because it is a stylized limited palette print of Daenerys Targaryen (a character from Game of Thrones). While I’ve never watched Game of Thrones, I enjoy simplicity in art that can bring art to life by giving it a personality, and I think DeGuzman has captured that with this piece.

DeGuzman uses traditional media as well as photoshop and Illustrator. She uses color theory in her piece by drawing the viewer with the single character and background. The color technique of color harmony balances out the crimson background with lighter shading and subtle elements, making the piece more interesting. I think the color technique is effective because it, not only makes the piece look like an actual painting, but the colors give a unique balance to an otherwise stoic frame.
