Painted a portrait of Book!Emiel Regis - that's how I kinda imagined him when I was reading the books all those years ago. I would love to add more detail, but I've had the rough sketch of this artwork in my w.i.p's for so long, I feel like If I had it un-finished for another month, I would have never finished it.

It was supposed to be a more broader portrait, but then I added lillies as a decoration and it looked prettier in smaller scale. So yeah.

That's why I hate and I find that ironic when fanboys of the games (they didn't read the books) say "Geralt is so sigma, he's cold and an emotionless, that's how I should be" - It's comepletely different. The core of Geralt's character is that he tries to be everything the people see him as despite of himself and he fails at it badly. That he's more human than people who say he's not human. That he has more compassion that the people calling him a monster. He struggles to admit that he's feeling emotions that somebody promised him that he won't feel. He constantly meets people who batter at his cold façade and this makes him anxious. If he didn't have all of his doubts, he wouldn't be a compelling character, but a other "cool manly man who can use a sword cool-y"

im fine im just thinking about how geralt is so dehumanized -- everyone thinks of him in such wildly different ways. people see him as a monster killer, a monster itself, the butcher, the white wolf, they see him as a moping brother, a loving father, a lost father, a scared man, a best friend, a strong hero, a failure, he sees himself as a disgusting monster whos trying to be human, he sees himself as an awful father who can't even find his daughter, a shitty lover, a shitty friend who isn't deserving of the people who love him. thinking about how geralt is everything and nothing at once, how people will remember him as the guy who killed the griffin bothering them, as a person who spared the innocent sentient monsters who aren't harming anyone, as a legend only heard of in ballads and poems. as a person and as a monster.

people project these ideas, true and false, onto him, and people make assumptions of what he must be like based off of these titles. and how he never got to choose who to be. it was chosen for him -- but he still tries to be a good man.

A piece I made while grieving. Didn't know whether I should post it, but I came to the conclusion that it will help.

Sometimes I wonder how Sapkowski came up with all the names for his characters in Witcher books, beacause sometimes they sound normal and sometimes I am like "did you just saw a word while walking on the street and liked it so much you made it like a 7th surname for background character?"

It’s funny how sacabambaspis is like the funniest looking animal in every hypothetical except for that one picture that makes me feel like I’m about to be killed

I'm so glad most of us share the similar vision of how young Regis would look like, like even to the clothes! (Amazing artwork, I really love your style ♥️)

In the dying of the light

(Yes, I finally did my contribution of young Regis)

I love how my first reaction to this is "whyyy whyyy isn't he ugly?!?!!"

I thought you’d like to know that Bragelonne, Sapkowski’s French editor, is going full romantasy to market their newest edition of the series
