LONDON -- Ned Stark himself would be proud of this one.
As part of a promotion for the upcoming Game of Thrones season 6, British snow artist Simon Beck worked with Sky Atlantic -- who will show the season when it kicks off on April 25 -- to create a humongous, Stark-inspired snow drawing in the French Alps.
The drawing shows the sigil of a House Stark, the head of the direwolf, above a phrase that will cause any self-respecting Thrones fan to shiver in anticipation: "Winter is Coming". It took 13 hours to finish and is made up of almost 65,000 of Beck's footsteps, according to Digital Spy.

"The first thing you've got to work out is which way round you're going to turn the drawing and where to start it so you don't run off the edge of it," Beck explains in Sky Atlantic's video.
"The second stage is measuring a skeleton of accurately plotted lines that go through the drawing, and once you've got enough points measured out you can then do a join up the dots process."
