i finished the reference sheet of uh... 2 3 4 5

jaja funny how their old desinh was lol

Ahggdhgs I like the outfits but I might change some of them more cuz they look a bit clashy but for now they stay like this

The commander has mutated into a giant snake monster and the baroness has officially gone full serpent queen 

So, I couldn’t help thinking when I first saw the new Netflix trailer that the Leshen look familiar design wise. It didn’t take me long to remember Crypt tv’s Birch. Until I googled an image I thought I was remembering them more similarly than I thought... nope 

Okay so looking it up “Leshys are mentioned in The Witcher books but are never actually featured in a story.” So no descriptions seems to exist. That means they could have done anything.

Below Crypt tv’s the Birch

Below the Netflixes Leshen

I also didn’t recognize the Netflix monster as the Leshen from the trailer. I had to google which monster it was ,probably because I played the Witcher games and had (below) in my head as what they were meant to look like. 

So does anyone know the reason for the redesign from the game?

- Is this new Leshen design more accurate to the books?

- Does Netflix Witcher have some people on the design team from crypt tv working for them? 

- Ultimately, I’m curious why they didn’t stick to the more widely recognized design of the Leshen from the games... Does anyone have any thoughts?

Or do you think it comes down to only so many ways to design a “femish” tree monster (I don’t think this is true btw) just wondering if this is the mentality.
