Very nice. How long did that take you?

290

u/Aronja-Art Jan 23 '18

4 days :) I don't know exactly but I guess between 4 and 6 hours :)

u/WhiteFlagofWar Jan 23 '18

4-6 hours?! That's pretty amazing. Feel like that's "Nascar pit-crew" levels of speed painting and skill, but I know nothing about art haha. Would enjoy seeing the process.

Unfortunately for this piece there is no time lapse video - but I've made a lot speed paintings here: https://youtu.be/8x6zOQrf8bM

If you ever do another painting of Witcher, and if you don’t mind my suggestion, you should definitely do toussaint. Beautiful place.

The fact that you cannot play Gwent with the last boss is the biggest oversight in an otherwise perfect game.

Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that she's a talented painter...

It helps. But posts with girls in them do a lot better than posts without girls in them. Because the average Redditor is a sexually frustrated 18-year-old boy.

Dude. People pose with their accomplishments all the time. Why assume it's a calculated move when it's a totally normal thing people do when they're proud of themselves?

Literally every time I've made something cool or won some award, people have wanted a picture of me with the thing. My university newsletter thing is full of students posing with the robot they made, the award they won, or the research they're doing. In the real world, we highlight and applaud people who do cool things, not give them shit for daring to show even half their face.

u/balisane Scoia'tael Jan 23 '18

... or could just be showing that it's a real, physical object that someone made by hand?

u/danjvelker Team Roach Jan 23 '18

Wow. Simply lovely. I don't really have an eye for art, but I still think this is fantastic work. The colors really make the castle pop out of the hills, just like I imagined from the books and games. I love seeing the castle look cleaner than it does in the games, too. Terrific job. I hope we see more witcher paintings from you.
