I only played The Witcher a few times, but saw the intro, and yeah...I think you captured him perfectly.

When I read the first book it seemed that Geralt tries very hard to convince himself he's this total cynic, and then his idealism shines through at the most unexpected places.

Aw thanks. I really really like Geralt, he's the most believable game characters of all time. Maybe because of the books but still, they managed to keep him intact.

Hm, yes, this is my young Geralt.

This makes me think of dry pastels on dark paper, soft and grainy. I like it. Your usual sketch lines are also missing. It's strange to see a man that is so obviously pretty hardened look so vulnerable but that makes it the more interesting. I don't know if it's my monitors but his skin seems a tiny bit pink. I want to hug him but would probably get spiked by something nasty.

I'd suggest not to. You are likely to catch something nasty.

Oh, a Stinky fan?! So nice to meet you!

Absolutely! And the pleasure is all mine. Who can a kid that grew up with the Moomin books and comic books admire but Stinky?

Not sure about that. Geralt is pretty open when it comes to women. At least with no strings attached.

Aha! Well, as I don't know the character at all I suppose I view him from a slightly different angle. Anyway, he looks sweet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He kills Snow-white (admittedly she had been the leader of a gang consisting of seven dwarfs) but still... Nah, he looks sweet!

Ha, lovely! I love Sapkowski, oh meybe his books not him

I've read the two first long before I played the game. I loved cynical Geralt and the play with old myths and tales, you never knew who was the bad guy/girl until the end. And in 'the last wish' when Geralt had performed what he thought was a successful spell and the demon disappeared in a rage, to later find out he had just said 'go fuck yourself' with the power of three wishes... To my mind Geralt is one of the richest game charaters ever and double-kudos to project red for creating a European game on that scale. (We Swedes have Battlefield but that intensest me not)

You can do more Geralt, you know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I will certainly make more Geralt, he's a unique character and I love his cynicism.

Beautiful work as always, my friend!

You need to!

Aw thanks. I think you have to. You can start comfortably with Witcher 2 (W1) was kind of, eh, boring at times and no significant choices are carried to W2, which is a fantastic game. The colors, the clothes, the plot. One hint, you don't play snappy renegade- If you do you're dead, seriously.

Again, great eyes, and a very somber expression. The armor looks really good and those lips! Lovely.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, the armour is from the first witcher game. Not as spectacular as in W2 but I wanted the focus to be on his face. The scene I imagined is from the book 'The last wish'. Thank you so much for the comments!
