Concept images of Sunfyre the Golden

Sekeris, known for his meticulous attention to detail, has showcased images of Sunfyre on his ArtStation profile. These images showcase not only the initial concept art for Sunfyre but also the revised and updated designs of the dragon rendered in 3D models.

We can see the dragon standing astride a female figure who is reportedly not part of the series but is only used as a placeholder. Early reactions from fans have been positive.

Fans are praising the artist’s rendering for being accurate to the version described by author George R.R. Martin in the book Fire and Blood. Here are the images as shared by the artist.

Who is Sunfyre the Golden?

Sunfyre, known as Sunfyre the Golden, is King Aegon II Targaryen’s dragon.

Sunfyre is a dragon with a richly detailed story and plays an extremely important part in the Dance of the Dragons. As the mount of the anointed King of the Seven Kingdoms, the people of Westeros describe Sunfyre is the most beautiful dragon of the Targaryens.

Sunfyre’s scales are the color of beaten gold. His wings have pink membranes, and even his flames have a golden hue. The bond between King Aegon II and Sunfyre is extremely deep, and the two will fight in some of the most pivotal battles of the Targaryen civil war.
