Fans of the The Witcher 3 will likely remember running into a wide cast of interesting characters during their playthrough of the game. One of the more memorable of these is Priscilla, a romantic poet and singer in The Witcher 3. Recently, one fan of the game recreated this character in an impressive painting.
The Witcher 3 was released in 2015 and brought players back to its Slavonic mythology-based world. As its name implies, this was the third major installment in The Witcher series and follows Geralt on his search for his daughter, Ciri. Along this journey, players encounter a number of interesting figures, including Priscilla at The Kingfisher Inn during the game’s main questline.
The painter of this Witcher 3 artwork is u/Nestei and their recreation of Priscilla is downright impressive. In this portrait, the noted singer and poet from the game is wearing their teal and light orange top while holding her favored instrument, the lute. The artist made sure to match the colors well, and even added in the detailed design on the instrument. She looks just as she does when she first appears in the game, during a memorable cutscene in which she sings. Priscilla is a memorable part of The Witcher 3, and u/Nestei did well to transfer her look to a canvas.
Unfortunately, u/Nestei doesn’t touch on their exact process, but the results speak for themselves. Priscilla’s hands, face, and clothing are just as detailed as they are inside of The Witcher 3. Her hair even appears to have individual strands, which must have taken both a smaller painting brush as well as an experienced hand to get right.
Priscilla is a well-liked NPC from the world of The Witcher 3 and her songs and associated quests are memorable to say the least. One problem, however, is how this character ends up after the events of the game. Some players can’t stand to see the misfortune that befalls this character, though at least art pieces like this show her at her best.
Then again, this mix of emotions and the powerful reaction from fans just goes to show how beloved the game has become. The announcement that The Witcher 3 is coming to next generation consoles further confirms the game's popularity. Either way, the painting is an impressive tribute to a great character from The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 3 is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions in development for Q3/Q4 2021.
