How House of the Dragon characters look according to the description from book. Created with AI. 

To those confused about Rhaenyra, she adds on and never loses the weight from her multiple childbirths

Alicent and Daemon were perfect castings Edit: holy shit this blew up thank you❤️😂

I wish they could've make tv adaptions of Targaryens with violet eyes too. It looks so cool and fitting with their silver hair and pale face

I get that Viserys looks kinda different, but would you REALLY say no to Paddy?

Alicent and cristen are perfect castings tbh

I wish they'd given Mysaria a blonde wig to make it clear that Daemon has a type. Especially because they got such a pretty actress to play Rhea Royce.

Book Viserys looks like a bus driver.

Lmao Daemon, Criston, Alicent are pretty much spot on, and Paddy ends up the better Vis between the two despite the difference in look

An animated series would fit perfectly for RR Martin's story, animations would let him make whatever he wants his characters to look like

Book Rhaenyra is surprisingly similar to Rebel Wilson

I'm simply amazed at How perfectly they've cast Matt Smith as Daemon Targareyan. Those behind it surely deserve a raise.

Ohhh so book Mysaria has silver hair. Now I see why Daemon took her as his mistress. Wished they could've kept that in the show but I guess it would've been too confusing for many viewers

I hate how the showrunners are too afraid to make any valyrian who isn't Tagaryen, have valyrian features

The Hightowers actually seem to have Targaryen like traits in the books. Jahaerys often mistook Alicent for one of his own family members in his old age, and Jorah told Danaerys that his former wife Lynesse Hightower looked a bit look Dany herself.

I could not have taken Viserys seriously if he looked like a plumber.

Justice for Rebel Wilson Rhaenyra

Book Viserys looks like he drives a UPS van

I appreciate how they used the shot of Viserys staring into the void after Daemon or Rhaenyra do something to piss him off for the show/book comparison.

Seeing Alicent’s sketch, why do I feel Emmy Rossum fits it much.

Soooo rhaenyra should have been placed by rebel wilson

The valarions look slightly less affirmative action I see

Perfect House Velaryon casting... oh wait!

Book Viserys looking like your uncle who's internet history would get him arrested.

Book version Daemon would make a good Sauron.

Criston is handsome both in the book and in the series.

Alicent isn’t actually described all that much in the book. We never get her hair colour. However, it’s suggested that she had blond or even silver hair. Mainly, as she was reading to a bedbound, dying King Jaehaerys he would often mistake her for his last remaining daughter, Saera, finally returned to him from across the sea. All four of her children had the silver hair/purple eyes combo. Considering the Targaryens don’t have a very strong dominant gene it could suggest that Alicent had similar colouring.

King Viserys looks like a criminal getting his mugshot.

Alicent and Daemon are so perfectly cast, but I don’t know if Rhaenyra’s drawing is necessarily accurate. The books described her as not losing the baby weight, and being thick of waist, which doesn’t necessarily make her face fuller, as she was said to be incredibly beautiful throughout her childhood, and Daemon declared her the most beautiful woman in the seven kingdoms.

The casting directors did their thang most of the castings are spot on

I'd say they nailed like 90% of the time

I wonder if we’ll see Rhaenyra’s weight gain be gradual throughout the seasons as she goes through more and more stress.

Rhaenyra wasn't fat from the beginning she got fat after she got the throne Also Cristan Cole have green eyes

I wish I could see Aegon II, Lucerys, Jace, and Velaryons too~..

Rhaenyra is kinda giving rebel wilson

Why does Rhaenyra look like Rebel Wilson😂

Rhaenyra’s picture looks like Rebel Wilson.

I love how 0 Targs have purple eyes...

I still believe the theory that Alicent is at least a blue eyed blonde, that's why all her children have full Targaryen features (just like what happened when a Dayne lady married in the Targaryen house, which is different from when dark haired ladies were; Rhaenys is actually black haired with purple eyes in the book bcs of her Baratheon mother), why Jahaerys I and, now in the show, Viserys I mistook them for their daughter/wife later in life. Even if you have blurred vision, you can spot the blonde hair. And it's not as if there aren't other houses or populations around Planetos with Valyrian looks. House Dayne are from Dorne, but have platinum hair and purple eyes. Lys has so many descendants of Valyria. There's Targaryen bastards running around. Plus "like in the book" is a lie. In the book she is older when she married Viserys I. Alicent was a teen (at the very least 15) during the last few years on Jahaerys I's rule and married Viserys I in her mid to late 20's and should be ~40 by that info. The show changed her age for creative liberties and to create a friend bond between Rhaenyra and her so the drama is juicier, when they could've kept the age gap between R and A and shown she was actually fine with Alicent as her stepmom and their relationship was good until the fire nation attacked and the tensions began to rise.

0.22 you selling insurance my king?

Viserys be lookin like a gym teacher

Criston Cole looks like a character from Arabian Nights 😂

Ser Criston is probably the most handsome guy in the series!

Waiting for part 2

Book Viserys giving Phillip Seymour Hoffman vibes

It’s funny because in the animations that the original creators made with the voice actors narrating. They don’t even make them look that close to the book. Look at the story of Cole. Think they made him bald.

Alicent ,criston and daemon are perfect casting

Almost all of them are pretty close, some of them almost perfect lol

I’m pretty sure they never reveal Alicent’s hair color in the story

Soooo Rhaenyra looked like Rebel Wilson in the books??

0:20 OMG! Katherine Winnick would have been a great casting here

Rhaenyra looks like the comedien on pitch perfect.

bro left the velaryons out on purpose

Paddy was perfect as Viserys

Cole's casting is funny to me because the Coles being from the "Dornish Marches" is deliberately non-indicative- the Marches are a Stormlander barrier sub-nation. I do suppose that he could easily have Dornish ancestry, but still, the writers heard the word "Dornish" and made him that.

So really not a misscast in all positions?! This is quite awesome

Rhaenyra really turned into Rebel Wilson

Where is Aemond?

Why does Rhae look like Debbie Ryan 💀

Where's Aegon and Aemond?????

Vaelor would’ve looked dope asf if they stuck to the book accurately

Tbh they nailed the casting amazing job

The one girl, i forget her name but the one daemon was with at the beginning, the ai generation looks exactly like Katheryn Winnick

Daemon and ser criston Cole 🔥

Laenor could have been Jamie Campbell

I understand now the casting of the older Rhaenera. And I don’t mean as a joke i actually think it was smart

Daaang they should've just cast Rebel Wilson as Rhaenyra because the resemblance 😅

Idk why people are always saying these are perfect castings. The AI is taking the actors into account when making the images and is probably basing most of it off of them. Of course they all looks really similar

Then there's the Velaryons...

Which app do you use to edit hair ??

Why is Viserys John Gacy?

Plot twist: The books do not describe any of them in detail for an AI to draw them.

An animated series of GOT wouldn’t sell as much as a live action or get that much attention. That’s why anything that is live action is so hard to make. They need the face and name of an actor you know doing marketing for the Show. Casting is literally the hardest part. Not only do you need to get an actor that can play the part, look the part and also bring the money. Then you need to assemble all the contracts and schedule to see make up 3 months in advance. If the main lead actors are short almost every actor they appear with most of the time will have to be their height, so you gotta cast everyone around them to complement their height. And that is before you have an agreement with his agent & publicists. AND…. A lot of actors get sick or can’t be part of the project anymore through preproduction or on set filming so they have to do another cast. And that’s why filmmaking is so expensive…

Viserys from the books looks like a suburban american dad

Viserys looks like Joe Diffie 😂

Baela and Rhaena?

How come you didn't put the Sea Snake on there? 🤣😂😅

Damn book daemon looks soooo much like show aemond

Reanyra: fat Casting: NO

Why did they make the velaryons black if theyre white in the books? Thats weird

Why does Viserys look like the My Pillow Guy.

Damn, nailed it

Book Daemon is supposed to be a lot more handsome than that

I don't know why they didn't go with thicc Rhaenyra and viserys as they are in the books.. It's 2022, people are not gonna stop watching for such trivial reasons. They changed valaryons skin colour but they draw the line at weight.

How do they deal in the books with the Strong/Velaryion stuff? In the serie you can understand they are bastard by the color skin but in the books?

Viserys just looks like some 40 or 50 years old in a bar about to drink 1 too many

Everyone was pretty much a perfect casting except for Viserys (thank god for that!)

Lol at the race swap casting.

Would've been nice to see them cast a plus size actress for rhaenyra

Lmao,they were inch away from almost casting Rebel Wilson as princess Rhaenrya

lol 🤣🤣u think people will believe it ?

That lgbt+ casting is getting out of hand

If you ask me, some the show castings were improvements from the books

Those arts 👏👏👏👏👏

they all look like them somewhat that’s crazy

was that rebel wilson at the end?

Wish the velaryons were white just like in the books. Kinda changes the lore that black people were from the islands further south

Viserys looks like Brandon Fraser

I wonder what Corlys Velaryon looks like in the book🤔

I love game of thrones and house of the dragon,but I think it would've been even better if was n animated series or movie like Belwolf ..that way we could've got the same character looks as books

0:30 that's Rebel Wilson 🤣
