Wanted to do a lighting study, then it got a bit out of hand. I could render this further, but it’s half past 11 and i should go to bed. Anyway, have a Jaska being very likely flirting with a certain someone.

[mutantenfisch]

Working on getting my art mojo back by sketching Jaska and her fluffy baby. As you can see, i suck at drawing the Griffon school medallion xD

[mutantenfisch]

Another Jaska thought brought to you by me having been awake since 2:30 because i needed to get up at 3:45 anyway.

I've been thinking about her relationship with more her body than her gender.

Like. She is one of the few witcheresses that exist and also really tall and athletic because of her genetics and training, so she's probably facing both the prejudice against her profession and the sexism that is prevalent in the Witcher (game) universe plus some hostility and prejudice directed at a tall strong woman with more scars than most veterans. Especially because some of those scars are very obviously on her face, with pieces of her ear and her nose missing

The thing is, she likes dressing up for the rare occasions when she's mingling with nobility and otherwise sticks to practical clothes and armour. She wholly identifies as a woman and corrects people when they address her as Master Witcher or sir. Then again despite all drawbacks she loves her profession and can't really imagine herself doing anything else, even though she also hopes to one day settle down and retire and live with a person dear to her.

But she's also no fan of her boobs for they require supportive underwear which she can't replace or mend as easily as a shirt when claws rip through her armour. And speaking of ripping through her armour - one of her boobs had a disfiguring encounter with a fiend's claws and teeth and despite Jaska's best efforts to patch herself up after slaying it, her boobs are now noticeably uneven sized and she's probably going to get the witcher universe equivalent of a breast reduction maybe the surgeon is Regis, which might or might not actually feed her one single insecurity of losing one more of her few outwardly feminine aspects.

WIP :)

[mutantenfisch]

Little WIP, featuring Shenanigan. @eolewyn1010 i thought you might enjoy the little guy? :D

[mutantenfisch]

Jaromirska’s face, version 1. Not entirely happy yet, especially with her hair, but you can pry her square jaw and her torn apart nose from my cold dead hands. Fun fact: her other ear is almost completely chewed off. My guess is a hungry gryphon from back in her days in training. Now, to draw her in full for clothing ideas. and a close-up interacting with her weasel. I love @eolewyn1010‘s suggestion Shenanigan :D

[mutantenfisch]

I have now gone through the 5 stages of grief with Eskel’s face and am half tempted to just draw the two of them smooching and write the rest as a smol fic. Also, it rarely happens that i feel attraction to a woman but holy cow i want to be picked up and placed on a counter and then gently smooched by Jaromirska too

[mutantenfisch]

after barely getting 4 hours of sleep last night i now made the unwise decision to chug an energy drink and try to sketch the Jaromirska/Eskel scene that entertained me while i couldn’t sleep. I am furthermore debating how to call the ship. Jaskel could lead to confusion with Netflix Witcher’s Jaskier. Eskomirska is a bit long i think. Anyway, let’s see who wins - my caffeine fuelled desire to draw this or my eternal desire to just url up in bed and take a nap with Baldito in my arms :D

[mutantenfisch]

I can't sleep and now I'm having a whole scenario of Jaromirska asking Eskel permission to kiss him in my head. Also, he's a bit bewildered by the fact that of all witchers present in Kaer Morhen in winter, she has decided to court him of all people. And I know the perfect artist to draw this scene as a comic but there's no way I could ever afford commissioning them, let alone do I know whether they're still active.

So I guess i have to try and draw - or write - this myself. Needless to say that i am slightly scared.

[mutantenfisch]

Can't sleep and now I'm imagining Jaska carrying Eskel fireman-style out of a monster lair and this image amuses me to no end :3

Are you currently taking on these OC asks? If so, for Jaromirska: 19. How easy is it to become their friend? - 27. Has a chance encounter ever had an unexpected effect on them? - 48. How likely are they to go on a quest for revenge?

Oh I absolutely do! You're just lucky that I didn't forget to check my inbox to get a timely answer :D Thanks a lot for asking :D <3

19. How easy is it to become their friend? Generally speaking, it is not very hard to make Jaska like you. Have a modicum of manners and decency and treat her and those around and especially below you with respect, and she will speak of you as a friend rather quickly. What puts her off, however, is fake friendliness. She usually sees through this kind of ruse pretty quickly, despite her generally positive outlook on the people inhabiting the world. For example, if you're only polite to her, but ultimately condescending because of her mutations, appearance or profession, she will also be polite in return but don't expect her to go out of her way to cater to you. Same goes for when you're only nice to her but she catches you mistreating messengers or servants or other 'lowly' people. In fact, if she witnesses pointless cruelty, she is known to step between you and the one(s) you're doing wrong and she's not afraid to use her fists, signs or swords against you if it's absolutely necessary. 27. Has a chance encounter ever had an unexpected effect on them?

Hmmm I admit I haven't spent many thoughts on her backstory yet, but I suppose when she met a knight errant from Toussaint who basically paid her to teach him about slaying monsters professionally is the most likely unexpected event. As in, sure it was to be expected that he got a very painful reality by getting almost killed because of his.... foolhardy approach to monster hunting. But what neither of them expected was that this collaboration basically saved the young witcheress's life because it meant she was not present for the avalanche that killed many of her brethren and badly damaged Kaer Seren. 48. How likely are they to go on a quest for revenge?

That depends. Revenge for wrongdoings against her, personally? She is not that petty. Probably. Revenge for those she cared about? Oh she's gonna hunt you down and end you if you're not careful enough to wipe your traces and avoid her.

So, last night I had a pretty vivid dream of a lady witcher who teamed up with game!Eskel and joined him for the winter in Kaer Morhen and she was taller and a bit buffer than him and had a pet weasel.

I now have the might need of drawing her bear-hugging Eskel and/or Lambert and doing some battle scar comparing/showing off as a bonding activity with the lads. While the weasel tricks Vesemir into giving it lots of treats. Which might end up being a fic snippet. Idk.
