» Will Simpson, Game Of Thrones’ storyboard artist, was at Bangkok Comic Con last Sunday to share how his artwork influenced the direction of the series at the talk “Inside The World Of Westeros”. Simpson has been working on the series since the first pilot episode and is also the person who created the first look of the White Walkers despite minimal descriptions from the books.

We bring you his best panel comments regarding the world of Thrones and his job.
