BTS: Model of Old Valyria | House of the Dragon (HBO) 

All that hard work for for 1 minute screen 😂💀

Exactly a true tragedy.

Could had played with Halaena's bugs. Flying ones as dragons, land ones as fire wryms.

@@mustafafh4402 that's called being meticulous

@@TheUrobolos exactly

Image by the end of the dance it's destroyed I'd low key cry

The reason we see Robert hunting in relative solitude in S1 of GoT is entirely due to budget and is one of GRRM's favorite pet peeves to harp on about in the show. As we see in the hunt in HotD, any king would have taken most key members of court with him for a hunt. Granted, it is certainly true Robert cared more for hunting, fighting, and whoring than ruling.

@@thatoneblackdude3333 alicent is chucking that shit out asap that’s probably why they’re doing this clip before Sunday. We probably won’t be seeing it again once she takes over

@@possiblymaybe6711 or maybe argon thinking that's the reason his dad neglected him so he destroys it out of spite.

@@thatoneblackdude3333 maybe, but viserys was never the kind of guy to turn people away if he was working on it. Like Robert boratheons hobby was hunting alone and he wouldn’t allow interruptions but viserys loved interruptions. I really don’t think he neglected his kids I think they neglected him bc of their mothers controlling hand and paranoia. Also he was so sick by the time they were teens he couldn’t go to them as often so it would be on them to bond with him. It’s sad really. Rhaenyra was his favorite bc she was good to him and adored him. His sons were under alicents thumb they are her children more than they’re his

Overwhelmed as a patriarch I think. As a King, not so much. But, since we’re talking about a dynastic ruler, there’s a lot of overlap I guess.

It's very similar to Louis the somethingth of France before the Revolution, man just wanted to make clocks and not be king

Showing that management, government and politics have common things, but they arent the same

@@eds1942 as a King, at some point he allowed house velaryon to align itself with 4 of the 5 dragonriders in Westeros. The primordial role of a King is to hold the supreme power and one of it's vassals was stronger than the crown.

@@jmra99 To be fair, the Velaryons were married in with the Targaryens and backed his chosen heir to the throne. In theory he had the air superiority of house Targaryen and the sea superiority of the Velaryon fleet. He could raise an army to repel any attempts on Westeros. The only problem is he fractured his house by alienating his brother, and fathering challengers to his chosen heir (neither Aegon or Aemond were prepared to take over the throne or noble enough to handle the responsibility). There was no threat from the outside that could challenge Targaryen rule from the outside, but created deep fractures from the inside.

Yeah, he mentioned a few things to Alicent, but it feels like he had a ton more knowledge than that. They probably didn't want to contradict GRRM too much in case he decided to expand on that lore in the books

I think it's actually quite good that they don't. Alicent isn't really interested, and Viserys is isolated and alone for the majority of the season. With no one to talk to about it. We don't hear the history of Valyria, dragons, and blood magic, because no one really paid it attention. A major theme of the show.

It could work as a flashback in the later seasons perhaps, to tie into the dance of the dragons; who knows. Many ways to be creative with it.

Special features. They did it with Game of Thrones. Have him narrate the Valyria ones.

@@LostAurusStudios that is a great idea. And it would be wonderful to hear his healthy version of his voice of the actor. Not the one between wheezes and blinks in his decrepit old age!

Cringe Af!

And this is the reason why I don't shit on the last season of GoT. Yeah, the writing sucked but the acting, the costumes, set design, score, fighting choreography, etc. were all on point.

My thoughts exactly.

Wasn't that how Aegon the conqueror died?

He died with an orange in his mouth, playing with his grandson

thanks man, it looks great

I'm making a miniature Casterly Rock/Lanisport with polymer clay and glass and you just described how I feel about seeing my vision come to life

@@carlosg2541 have you gotten far enough to share some progress? Because I, and probably a lot more would be interested to see.

@@noxtrin1878 yes I am I'd say 75% finished! Have an instagram so I can share some pictures?

@@carlosg2541 sure I think that its just noah_nyberg, and in the pfp I look completely wasted

While only in computer form, not a 3D model #Shadiversity did a book-accurate/ historically authentic version of Winterfell- holy hell does it look epic! And recently #Jazza did a book-accurate section of the Wall...

At least an animated one like blood of zeus from netflix.

Such mythical civilizations are better as lorebuilding flavor. "Discovery" their mystery would ruin their otherworldy aura i think

@@TheUrobolos a very interesting perspective. That's why we love History and Lore.

I think they made this model with the intention of doing so. It's not just an easter egg. I'm pretty sure, that a spin off series is coming, animated or not.

But it will get a Disney ending

its ok HBO has all the dragon money in the world. Remember you are talking about 3D printing, not yet including the touch ups, texturing, finishing, all done by skilled hands!

To be fair it is not a 2-3 week client presentation model, the man has been working on it for decades supposedly

Valyria was a beautiful place, I've seen it with my own eyes. You guys really missed out.

starbucks cup told of the changes to come😔

A King of Games if you will.

​@@ph89787 King of the minis, terrian and dice. Lord of RNG and Game master of the realm.

Awwww, you made me sad just thinking about it! 😢

I feel like we’ll definitely see it get destroyed at some point in the show.

I also think someone will deliberatly destroy it just for additional drama

Robert Baratheon ordered everything related to the Targaryens to be completely destroyed when he took the Iron Throne, so yeah... bad news.

@@octaviablackthorn9 yes, it's going to be a symbol of a downfall of Targaryens, but still it makes me sad

With finished source material and GRRM back working on the show (he left season 4 of GOTs) it was a pretty safe bet it was going to be great

I've noticed that too. HBO is master of detail, we cannot say the same about Amazon... Bruh, this ammount of money yet shit series

Hahahahah great spot

I must be blind, but i just can't spot it.

@@Catherine_Yong right side of the screen. A little pig with giant wings on a column, near the spiked walls of that giant gate

@@Catherine_Yong keep your eyes to the right side of the video, should be easier to spot ^^

funny to think that Alicent probably went and told him what the other boys had done to Aemond, her eventually leaving his room and Viserys having a little chuckle to himself while drawing up a little sketch of the Pink Dread for the stonemasons to make one 😂

I doubt it. GGRM has said he likes keeping the mystery of Old Valerya

@@ben1ben2ben1 Tolkien also said he hates allegories but that didn't stop the showmakers

I doubt it. GRRM has said many times he wants to keep Valeria a mystery

If Aegon has it destroyed his hateability will go through the roof.

Hopefully Alicent won't let him...

i hope the maesters move it into the citadel hahaha, it would be an amazing model to have on display and great for the history nerds. sadly that’s a low chance because they’re so anti magic

​​@@morighani I've always wondered where they got their supply of Valyrian steel & glass candles - I know only 1:100/ 1:1000 maesters does get the Valyrian link (& it was more about emphasising how it {magic} *doesn't* exist anymore), but- _where_ did they get it? The maesters were supposed to wear their chains all the time- did that rule end with their death? Were they reclaimed by the Citadel? What happened if the maester was cremated (like Maester Aemon)? I know Valyrian steel would probably resist melting in a regular fire, but it leaves a ton of questions- about how the Citadel handles stuff. Where were maesters buried/ interred- with the Citadel, where they began their new life? With the house they served? Were they returned to their birth-house? What if they were born a peasant? Edit: word

Never going to happen. GRRM has said many times he wants to keep Old Valyria a mystery

@@ben1ben2ben1 I thought he said he wanted to keep the doom a mystery

What do I need to do?

there's the GoT studio tour in Belfast, Ireland...hopefully it will have a house of the dragon section in time

@malicious intent Jon Snow is Mary Sue at this point, and a useless character in the show to boot. Arya Stark did his job for him. I really want something more than a show about him.

The problem with that idea is that GRRM hasn’t written much about that, and we saw what happened when it’s left up to tv writers with no material to go on…

@@westerosandchill7644 I would presume that GRRM would be heavily involved, like he is with HOTD, and HBO would not tolerate any more fiascoes from showrunners like D&D. I really hope we do get shows about the history of the North, considering that GRRM is never going to finish his series, not at the current rate at least.

The North has always been the most boring part of GOTs

@@ben1ben2ben1 Not in the least if you've read the books. The North is THE key piece in the ASOIAF jigsaw, and way more intriguing and interesting than the Targs and their dragons.

Imagine a show during that era... 😍

As separate mods, like those build-a-castle/ doll-house sets, with booklets with info of the period, & decorating ideas...? I enjoyed the old manor, & doll-house I made, like that...
