Knights Of NBA

Knights of NBA is a ongoing project of our friend Alijah Villian. A brilliant artist whose work we already shared in the past. New season of the Game of Thrones has started and everyone artist brainstorming for some ideas to incorporate the show. Alijah did some amazing mash up posters of NBA players in the knight armor from Game Of Thrones.

Artist Statement:

NBA players are heroes to many of us I wanted to tell a good story.  As a digital artist I started to think upon the idea of what these giants would have done if they lived in the Medieval Era; and said they would of course be Knights wielding their swords in the name of the Throne.

I wanted the artwork to have the feel of the paintings of kings and knights of the 18th century.  I did about 20 different players.

Project Statement:

There is a kingdom of knights that seek revenge in the courts of NBA warriors that wield swords of passion and determination, the question that we all seek is who will win the game of thrones.
