Ten years ago, when The Witcher 3 launched, I grabbed my pencils and ink to draw Geralt — the White Wolf, caught between dusk and steel.

Still proud of this old sketch. 🐺

Traditional pencil and ink drawing of Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The Witcher stands in three-quarter view, holding his sword, with rugged features and sharp eyes. Hand-drawn lines and ink shading give it a classic fantasy sketch look.

I agree, and I hope they remake it. I just wish they do it the right way.

If the rumor is true that the upcoming HALO reveal will be a full remake of the original game...

Honestly? I'm 100% on board.

HALO is on life support. It could inject new interest into the franchise and if they keep the soul of it intact, it might save it.

I think it's the right call.

She sat in her bag, staring right at us with the funniest look. Stole the show instantly! 🥹💕
