Details about the scenes of "Game of Thrones" season 7 are starting to be revealed.

Reports claim that viewers will be in for a treat in the upcoming season of HBO's TV adaptation of George R.R. Martin's best-selling book saga "A Song of Ice and Fire," with its spectacular visual effects, particularly in the images of Daenerys' grown-up dragons.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, visual effects supervisor Derek Spears from Rhythm & Hues hinted that fans will easily notice the changes on the appearances of Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal in the upcoming season of "Game of Thrones."

"I can't really give you any information about season 7. HBO is, of course, very sensitive to these things, but you can look at the progression from the previous seasons and things get bigger and more visually complex," Spears stated when asked about what fans should expect when Daenerys' dragons return next season.

The visual effects supervisor also revealed that the changes in the sizes of the dragons also affect the way they interact with other characters, particularly Emilia Clarke's Daenerys. "Even how we fit Dany on its back changed from season 5 to season 6 because the placement was different, how we attached her was different," Spears also said.

Meanwhile, the show's art director Christina Moore told the audience at her lecture at the University of the Basque Country that there will be a lot of exciting scenes that will be shown in "Game of Thrones" season 7, which were mostly shot in Spain this season.

However, she revealed that she and the rest of the art department must work hard to make each scene look exactly like they are happening in the fictional world of Westeros.

"We don't want it to look like Spain or Croatia or Morocco," the art director said during the panel. "We want it to look like the world of Game of Thrones...That's part of our job in the art department, to have a visual language that works for each distinct world. It could be to do with color, it could be to do with architecture."

HBO will air the premiere episode of "Game of Thrones" season 7 on July 16, Sunday, at 9 p.m. EDT.
