I have finished my cross stitch of @angry-cajun-lady's Witcher OC Vanik. Since we've been shipping Grayson and Vanik together, I wanted to do a portrait for him to go with Grayson's. Behold, the beautiful smiley Bear:

I am very, very proud of his collar and the way it came out. That and his hair make him the most colorful Witcher portrait I've done so far and I absolutely love him. There's no medallion, but if you look around the edge of his neck, there is a thin line of silver thread that's supposed to be the chain, so his medallion would be just out of view. I'm not good at taking pictures of my finished work due to poor lighting in my apartment and impatience, so the silver isn't as obvious in the picture, but trust me, it's there.

I also tried something different with his nose; so far, I've been using another tone to help highlight the nose on these portraits, but since the reference image I used for Vanik had the sunlight on his face, I wanted to keep that idea. (Yes, I'm the person who wants there to be a light source when it comes to cross stitch.) Overall, I'm very pleased with how he came out. The colors, the colors!

I also redid Grayson's eyes finally. I tried something different with them because I was lazy when I originally stitched them, but they didn't have quite the look I wanted, so I redid them and now he looks lovely. Well, even lovelier <3

And here they are together!

Thank you to angry-cajun-lady for sharing wonderful Vanik with me. I've grown really attached to him and Grayson, I love them together so much <3 Thank you to @witcherscrane who gifted me and angry-cajun-lady the art of our OCs to begin with. I still can't believe that, it's one of my favorite portraits of Grayson, I look at it all the time, and the art inspired me to work on both Vanik and Grayson's patterns

The art that I used as a reference was from defenestratin, go look at their art, it's wonderful. And also, I used the portrait of Vanik done by @cylin-aka-ankamo as another reference for Vanik. Cylin is a dear friend who also has fabulous art that I cannot recommend any higher.

Modern AU Witcher! I’ve had this in WIP slowly chipping away at completing this for almost a month and finally finished it!!

I was inspired by the manga ‘The Way of the Househusband’ and couldn’t help imagining Letho as an ex-gang leader who decided to quit and become a full time single father for two boys (Auckes and Serrit) who were also ex-gang members Letho was part of. Also may or may not be a romcom with another retired gang member, Eskel >w> I continue to make Lil’ Bleaters the excuse for these two to interact a;lskdjfsdf

@freckledsaint kept showing me photos of dads going fishing and so I had to draw Letho taking his boys out camping and fishing >w<;

They aren't going to change the season retroactively. You telling them you're upset isn't going to change anything. You doing nothing but bitching and being negative on the internet is just ruining other people's experiences. We can't even escape the complaining at this point because there's so much of it.

If YOU didn't like something then just move on with your life. Book canon didn't change. Game canon didn't change. You can still write fanon Eskel. Now you can also write TWN Eskel. All you got out of this was a new character to play around with.

some book eskel sketches 🤎🤎
