<!-- END TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention --> it's a perfect image. That's all...

I've actually tried to make her to look like Ava Gardner.

Thank You!

some art that reminded me of Yen

I still think CDPR should stick with the original yen and succumb to any fan coaxing

Eva Green looks perfect on this one.

sorry just realized the quote was incomplete,boy was I out of it last night

"It’s not the job of the artist to give the audience what the audience wants. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need. " -Alan Moore

At tbhe risk of overstating @guipit 's point, here's a more extensive quote, one that gives Moore scope to explain why he is so adamant about letting artists be artists and not errand boys.

Writers and people who had command of words were respected and feared as people who manipulated magic. In latter times I think that artists and writers have allowed themselves to be sold down the river. They have accepted the prevailing belief that art and writing are merely forms of entertainment. They’re not seen as transformative forces that can change a human being; that can change a society. They are seen as simple entertainment; things with which we can fill 20 minutes, half an hour, while we’re waiting to die. It’s not the job of the artist to give the audience what the audience wants. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artists. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need.

And Yennefer. None of us has ever seen Yennefer. We have only seen others' and our own imagined Yennefers. Many of these are very good, but Yennefer has escaped being described beyond a rather small number of words. So please don't evaluate the work of CDPR or fan artists by whether it agrees with your imagined Yennefer. Look at the character the artist, cosplayer, actor gives to Yennefer.

quick question, so I'm about a half way through Lady of the Lake (last book of the main saga) and I have been wondering who is in the front cover of the spanish version

appreciate the reply

 

[HellKnightX88]

On volume one it's Cahir. Volume 2 no idea... Triss maybe? I just woke up so my brain isn't properly functioning yet, sorry.

Eva Green looks perfect on this one.

I absolutely agree I always though Yen is supposed to have some Eva Green in her looks. Shes the queen of dangerous/sexy

 

[GuyNwah]

Eva Green has matured into a look that's good as Yennefer. But after her performance in Penny Dreadful, I think she still doesn't play mature enough, with too much "girlishness" where it wasn't called for. I find Yennefer a commanding presence who's sure of herself while she's being imperiously unreasonable. It would take a master actress to play her.

And only Elizabeth Taylor ever had the right eyes.

 

[Blackshatan]

dem purple eyes of cleopatra are gorgeous... and ultra rare?
speaking of purple eyes, the targaryens in GoT are supposed to have them too.

That's definitely not all of them. Honestly, in terms of looks, there are three other versions that I personally like better than these ( @Валькирия , @V-Raider, and @JustAnor25 's) . However, as much as I like those though, I'm totally fine not having them. CDPR is going to have their version (and vision) and that's okay.

 

[MkTama]

No offence but there's no point in comparing images that different (game models, real cosplayer, graphical picture).
The ingame models from tralier and cosplay guide are pretty. I'm coming to like them and I definitely think it could be the same model with light differences of lightning, perspective and expression. I really liked @V-Raider 's edit, really good. But in the end I think that devs' work is great and deserves appreciation

 

[Bloede_Dhoine]

I think Katie McGrath would've fit perfectly as Yennefer if they were to make a TV show or a movie. She's beautiful and a bit menacing at the same time, exactly as I would imagine Yen to look like.

 

[Pedrolago]

@Minuano

Totally agree!! Thats whats missing in the CDPR designs imo (Although I could live with the SoD version), that menacing beauty that make you feel attracted and intimidated at the same time. Katie McGrath would be an excellent yennefer!!

 

[adridu59]

The SoD one is fine by me. Also do mind that there's not a single repr that rule all the others.

 

[shinobi2u]

They just posted some art on their FB page. I'm guessing they used the CG models as a base to make this (but I could be wrong), if so, we get more of a glimpse of what the high resolution version of Yen looks like.

 

[StaGiors]

Good lord. They are going to turn me into a religious guy. This looks stunning.
