JASKIER AND CIRI IMITATING GERALT AND YENNEFER, HIM CALLING HER “my favourite pocket sized princess”, THE TWO OF THEM BONDING ASDFGHJKL I LOVE THEM

I find it very disheartening to see articles coming out from Forbes and other outlets not only criticizing The Witcher but calling for its cancellation because of season 3. Season 3 has been not only the strongest season, but it’s also been the most book-accurate season to date. The writers have seemingly learned their lesson from season 2 but instead of being rewarded for it, they are being punished.

And these calls for cancellation are making me raise my eyebrows because the articles have been quoting the video games AND consistently mentioning that Henry is leaving the show therefore the show isn’t worth it anymore. The direct criticisms I have seen laid out are criticisms of actual book events (a Ciri-centered episode in the Korath desert, Geralt getting laid to waste by Vilgefortz, etc.)

Season 3 has also been review bombed, with episode 3x07 having the WORST RATINGS of ALL the Witcher episodes. Episode 7 is based entirely on a chapter in Time of Contempt and is the first episode to feature only Ciri and focus on her. The show runners have recently released a statement saying that Ciri is the main character, not Geralt nor Yennefer, and it sparked an outrage so bad that people review bombed Ciri’s episode. Which by the way, was the best episode of the season and my favorite episode since 1x01!

I feel very angry about the reaction to TWN because it is incredibly disengenuous and directly hateful against Freya/Ciri. The show is not an adaption of the video games. Geralt IS the main/most important character of the games, but not of the book series. Ciri is. This show was never about Henry and to think otherwise just proves a majority of the haters were only ever here FOR Henry, only having known about The Witcher from the games, and never actually cared about Andrzej’s story like they are pretending to now.

I hope my statement was eloquent and made sense. 😅

“Who will the girl choose? wondered Dandelion. Neither of them - the Witcher nor the enchantress - will take a step nor make a gesture. Which will she approach first? Him? Or her? Ciri did not walk to either of them. She was unable to decide. Instead of moving, she fainted.” - The Time of Contempt

I remember laughing hard at this scene. So it’s no surprise I had fun drawing this bit :))

The way she just pushes her out the damn door😂

 She showed up some time ago, exhausted, wounded, and stinking like a soaked hound after a hard hunt -

Ill be doing 12ish more portraits - this black paper is really hard to work with, so I'm taking the opportunity to work on my faces.

Empress Cirilla.

Sketch of Ciri as an Empress of Nilfgaard from the Witcher 3 game.

Yennefer: Settling down? Oh please no no, I could never be some kind of stay at home doing nothing woman.

Geralt: Yennefer meet Ciri

Ciri: :)

Yennefer: Geralt we are buying a house.

Heart beats fast, colors and promises... How to be brave? How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone... All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.
