Geralt taught her well.


Very well.
 


Found this drawing on deviantart made by WojciechFus,
I really hope that in witcher 3 we will get Ciri fighting on skates because that scene in books was just incedible.

Thanks for reposting my painting man! It can be found here in full resolution if you are interested: http://wojciechfus.deviantart.com/art/Ciri-482996212

As I'm rereading the saga now, I have dozens of ideas for illustrations featuring Ciri. Let me know what you would like to see :) Cheers!

The arena fight in Claremont or her fighting Bonheart on the beams in Stygga Castle or her wandering through the Korath desert.
 
Geralt taught her well.

I know, wrong picture. If you remember, he laid his sword on shoulder while running in strong style.
@shinobi2u As I said earlier, I love your vision of Ciri more than CDPR's. Good work and I hope you wouldn't get any more troubles before finishing this masterpiece. ;)



Very well.

Pictures taken from medieval fencing manuals.

You were saying? :p

Both of the stances are correct. To be precise, it's both the same stance or Hut called Vom Tag in Liechtenauer's way of sword fencing.


The stance in shinobi2u's picture on the other hand is not. BUT: As I see it, it might work well enough, if Ciri is about to do a one-handed swing. It still doesn't make a lot of sense, but it works very well aesthetically, so why not?

More details on why it doesn't make much sense:
You wouldn't do one-handed swings with a long sword, but Geralt from the games does it too, so yeah.
That particular stance is not very versatile. It lacks the option to do anything else but a one-handed, horizontal slash.
As Ciri is right-handed (right hand near the crossguard, left hand on the pommel), from that stance, she'd be attacking from her weaker side, not particularly desirable.
It's a long, long way + getting a grip with her left hand for her to defend herself.

But as I said, the aesthetics are great. And that's worth a lot more than getting details right no one knows about, anyways. I absolutely love her face in that picture. Can't wait for the final piece. :)

@aaden You're absolutely right. The pose was intended for something a bit more dynamic for aesthetics over accuracy, something more akin to Chinese sword stances instead of European ones. I basically wanted to put her in a pose that looked like she was about to leap/twirl in or out and go into a slash. You can actually see the final (at least final for now) version here. :)
