#witcher 4

She's a burnt out child prodigy. She was chosen and her entire life has been about this one thing. She stopped the apocalypse and fulfilled her destiny. Now she's lost because what do you even do after that? Her whole destiny (that she hated, by the way) was taken from her. She didn't want to rule.

So she goes to the one thing that made her happy. Her good memories are from Kaer Morhen and Geralt and Yennefer, her family. She doesn't know what she's supposed to do now that she's not running. But she sees that there is a job to do. Something that she can do. So she does it and goes through the mutations to do it better.

Cirilla of Cintra ⚔️ Quick fan art of Ciri, based on an old sketch I drew after The Witcher IV announcement.

Also, it’s my birthday tomorrow, and my home city of Kyiv, Ukraine, is still being terrorised on a daily basis. We are bracing for another massive attack, while our energy workers are doing the impossible to help people not freeze to death after our energy grid has been heavily damaged.

We still have emergency blackouts in the capital and very sparse, unpredictable electricity, so this is the first new artwork I managed to complete in January.

Just tired and exhausted from the unfairness and the indifference of the world that lets this kind of evil exist and prosper, and not just that, but constantly whitewashes it and finds ways to celebrate it. ____________
