First page of my self-indulgent book Regis doodles done… Mainly want some very soft looking Regis paired with some slightly spooky ones, which I really love.

(pt.2 is now here)

I’ll hide my notes under the cut, if you're interested.

So I do love game Regis look very very much, but let's be honest it's nothing I would have imagined if I read the books first. So here's what I would probably have had instead.

(I am very early in the books tho, I just couldn't help myself and read some Regis bits first... And they're DELICIOUS)

I want him to look very soft and harmless, like you wouldn't think he has the ability to attack or even defend himself just based on the looks, let alone even considering he would not be a human. So Geralt can justify how long it took him (and only because Regis basically chose to expose himself) to realize he's a vampire lol. Let's just say the disguise is too good.

Then the spooky side would be especially tasty in contrast.

And I want his clothing to be very simple, mostly dark colors. As unnoticeable as possible.

AND I really think he should wear glasses because:

1. It makes him looks more like a tax collector. More harmless.

2. It could act as a kind of disguise since it's mentioned that his eyes are somewhat reflective in the darkness (which really makes sense for nocturnal creatures)

3. I think he'd be pretty with them (the main reason)

This is it for now! Let me get back to it and maybe I'll doodle some more.

Also just wanna have a shout out to @tio-trile and @adregisuccurrendum for all the beautiful arts and chats and really motivated me to read the books... Thank you so much 🥹🥹

"You're more than that, Ciri. Much more."

hiii im recently getting back into the witcher books and going through the regis tag like crazy (my fav chara) and i just had to stop by and say. your regis design is one of the best i've ever seen. he looks so warm and kind and also silly at times. thank u for drawing him like that your mind is beautiful

Ohh thank you so much!! 🥹 Regis's kindness and warmness and silliness is what I love about him and is exactly what I'm trying to capture, so I'm really glad it comes through!!

And welcome back to the Witcher 😊 hope you enjoy your reading !

can't stop laughing about that post that said Geralt would love ibuprophen bc yes. i think there are a lot of fantasy characters who wouldn't take pain meds from our world bc they simply would be like "i don't see the need" but geralt would be that guy who asks you to hand him some ibuprophen from your purse and you'd get out 2 and he'd say, "oh I usually take 6" and you'd say "how?? long have you been taking 6 ibuprophen at a time???" and he'd be like "i don't know, always? does it matter?" and suddenly all his recent acute GI symptoms would start making sense but also it could be unrelated because honestly what data would you have on how witcher bodies are affected by NSAIDs? you hand him 6 and hope for the best.
