GoT:C - Mad Fool Monster Portrait

I had the great pleasure of designing the Mad Fool for 2022's Highgarden Harvest Festival. We always have a lot of fun with this arc and use it as an opportunity to stretch beyond what's established in the show. At first, I thought the Fool might have a dagger or poison crystals in reference to the Purple Wedding, but everything really fell into place when I decided on juggling knives. They're a form of entertainment, they're dangerous, and they lend themselves wonderfully to combat map animations. (see the Mad Fool Monster Pawn Concept)
