Game of Thrones is taking a long break from HBO before dishing out what is likely to become its best and fiercest season in three years. Fans could hardly contain the combo of excitement and impatience, but as the elders say, "Good things come to those who wait."

While the epic series is on hiatus, some artistic fans take to DeviantArt, Tumblr and other channels their interpretation of the best and worst characters in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.

Below are image descriptions to the art work you will see in the slideshow above.

1. Cersei Lannister and Margaery Tyrell by Saki Guzman

Saki Guzman shows a creative image of a catfight between Cersei and Marg. It is a provocative piece of art to those who have not read the book and are interested in finding out what happens next between King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell, after the break-up of his engagement to Sansa Stark. Whether this catfight image was based on the book or not, Game of Thrones followers understand that the new character will bring something to King's Landing.

2. Jon Snow by Adam Osgood

Adam Osgood has a much leaner and lankier version of Kit Harington as Jon Snow. But the eyes reveal so much of the characters longings and questions in life.

3. Theon Greyjoy and Daenerys Targaryen by Rida

Rida got the exact features of Alfie Allen and Emilia Clarke as Theon Greyjoy and Daenerys Targaryen, respectively. She framed them side by side, looking in opposite directions, expressing emotions that could not be more contradictory.

4. King Joffrey by David Jackson

David Jackson went for a-monstrous-wimp-with-a-crown look for King Joffrey. The line strokes just match the character perfectly well.

5. Favorite characters (?) by Tumblr user imaginarioabstrato, Art by Yuko Ota

This image brings to mind the pilot episode of Game of Thrones in HBO. Sandor, Tryrion, Samwell, Arya, Jon Snow and Ghost together in a frame. So much has happened since the first time almost all of these characters (except Samwell) were at the Starks' in Winterfell.

6. Jon Snow and Ghost by Tumblr user ai-em-maes

Winter has come, and Jon Snow and Ghost are contemplating out in the cold in this image by ai-em-maes.

7. Tyrion Lannister by DeviantArt user Ethrendil
