The world of has grown from a relatively obscure Polish book series to one of the world's most popular video games to a cultural phenomenon with its own Netflix series in the span of just over a decade.

An Elderly Geralt Fights On

Via . By Inkognitart. This shadowy painting shows a weathered Geralt continuing his Witcher practices into old age by battling some typical vile and ugly creatures. Depicted having slain one of his foes already, staining his sword with inhuman blue blood, Geralt simultaneously uses the Axii sign of confusion to hold back the two other monsters lunging towards him. Done in a style that could be mistaken for real concept art, this piece showcases Geralt's warrior-like skills and determination exceptionally. It's exactly what we'd want to see happen to the Witcher in his old age and, honestly, we'd expect no less.

Geralt and Yennefer As A Manga

Via . By Alcoholic Rattle Snake. Although Geralt has many opportunities for romance in The Witcher RPG video games, none are more iconic than the raven haired beauty who is . In this fan art we are given a version of the couple in a loving embrace, created in a pencil art manga style. Capturing Geralt's rugged, bearded visage and Yennefer's untouchable elegance perfectly, the two lovers demonstrate that opposites truly do attract. Accenting the drawing is a delicate turquoise frame that's almost evocative of a medieval wedding archway, hammering home the unbreakable admiration Geralt and Yennefer have for one another and why we're so fixated on their relationship.

Father Figure

Via . By Skadivore. Many of the male protagonists in this generation of video games have fallen into the archetype of "father figure", be it literally or figuratively, and Geralt most certainly fits that role's description with respect to his adopted daughter, Ciri. Cirilla "Ciri" Riannon's fate has been intertwined with Geralt's since her birth, being taken under his wing at a young age and raised in Kaer Morhen where she learned the ways of the Witchers and discovered her immense magic talent as a Source. Being someone endowed with powers as strong as hers made Ciri a target for multiple malevolent forces, including The Wild Hunt, all of which Geralt tried to protect her from as best he could. This incredible black and white charcoal portrait of the two captures their loving and complex relationship beautifully.

Geralt of Mordor

Via . By Imad Awan, concept artist for Lord of the Rings LCG. This piece of art envisions Henry Cavill as Geralt before any footage of the Netflix series had even been released but it also pays homage to another fantasy series: . Created by someone currently working on the Lord of the Rings living card game, here Geralt seems to be channeling some dark magic or perhaps even have become a ring wraith. An Elven inscription has been etched into one of Geralt's swords and adorned with gold, emphasizing the Middle Earth theme of the portrait. It's hard to imagine Talion from Shadow of War wasn't also an influence here.

Hyperstylized In High Definition

Via . By Carolina López Tello Araiza. This render of Geralt is sharply defined against a cool blue winter background, accented by floating embers from a fire. Draped in a fur coat with a slash of blood across his face, it appears Geralt may have had a run-in or two with some fierce forest creatures. On his back both of Geralt's sword sheaths rest empty but only his large traditional sword can be seen, firmly gripped in his hand, meaning he may have lost his signature silver one. The pose in which Geralt stands seems inspired by the likes of Ned Stark from , resonating staunch power and stoic bravery. seems to be in his element here.

How To Train Your Dragon In The Continent

Via . By Julen Urrutia, character artist at Axis Studios. Fully 3-D rendered, this stylistic reimagining of Geralt takes inspiration from the How To Train Your Dragon series of animated films according to its creator, although some could argue it's more reminiscent of : The Clone Wars than anything else. Placed in a dimly lit tavern setting with realistic shadows and depth, Geralt feels as if he's in his natural element here, seeking information and always ready to provide his services to anyone with enough coin to requisition them. The design of Geralt's angular facial features intensifies the inscrutable looks he's known for, conveying a sense of severity and impatience. To fully 3-D render a representation of a character this way, without being commissioned, is a true show of both fandom and determination.

Geralt s Dark Side

Via . By Sadece Kaan. In The Witcher universe, magic is used by harnessing the power of chaos. In this fan art it seems Geralt may have been overcome by that chaos, his body not just being inhabited by it as a temporary vessel but overrun by it like a parasitic infestation. G eralt's eyes glow akin to the trademark wolf pendant around his neck, personifying both his titles as the "White Wolf" and "Butcher of Blaviken." Putting his hood up or taking it off, Geralt is either about to disappear into the darkess or emerge from it. Regardless, wise men would stay away from this Witcher if they value their lives.

The Witcher 2077

Via . By user rex00k. CD Projekt Red has become world-renowned for its in-depth storytelling, massive open worlds, and commitment to quality which is why we're all hotly anticipating their next title, . Here this user on the developer's forums has merged the past with the future in a conceptual representation of what Geralt might look like in 2077's Night City. Geralt's clothes and accessories have been redesigned, making the Witcher almost unrecognizable if not for his familiar ashen hair tied in a ponytail and the wolf pendant around his neck. His trusty steed, Roach, has been traded in for a sleek motorcycle and Geralt's swords have been exchanged for two different kinds of pistols. Completing the ensemble is the decapitated head of a creature floating in a sci-fi preservation jar.

Geralt The Reaper Slayer

Via . By Fiftydotov. and The Witcher have little in common outside of their RPG mechanics, but that didn't stop one artist from putting the two immensely successful series together in this awesome mash-up. Having just made a fresh Reaper kill, Geralt looks ready to lead a battalion of the Systems Alliance Navy into combat. Strange as it may seem, the Witcher looks as if he naturally fits in this universe somehow, proving Geralt looks good in any suit of armor. Earth may not have Geralt as a defender in the 22nd century, but Commander Shepard thankfully has us covered.

Geralt And Ciri In Autumn

Via . By Niki Vaszi. This gorgeous work of fan art portrays a with her father figure Geralt on a crisp Autumn day, presumably taking a break from combat training. The watercolor palette of the painting lends a lighter tone to the piece, giving a sense of playfulness and caring. The falling leaves and both characters' billowing white hair show it's a blustery day, but it doesn't seem to bother the two companions. They truly seem to have bonded at this stage in their relationship and the love exemplified between them is exactly what makes them stand-out in the age of dads in video games. The talent on display in this piece is awe-inspiring.
