The Witcher 3 Fan Creates Amazing Yennefer Cosplay | Game Rant
The Witcher is an incredibly popular franchise, encompassing a book series, video game trilogy, and Netflix TV show. Yennefer of Vengerburg is an incredibly popular character that features heavily in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the TV series, and one Twitch streamer took it upon herself to honor the sorceress with an amazing Witcher cosplay.
Alyska is a British gamer with a sizable Twitch and Twitter following, and one of her most recent posts is her rendition of fan-favorite character Yennefer wearing a long, intricate black dress and sparkly arm accessories standing in front of a dark, Gothic-inspired background. The Witcher 3 gives the mysterious magic woman the option to be in a romance with the main character, but there are other options in-game for Geralt to woo. However, Yennefer has proven to be very popular and many people favor her above Geralt's other possible love interests.
The cosplay photo really shows off Yennefer's dark hair, mysterious jewelry, and striking eyes. Photo editing gives Alyska's rendition magic powers, with wisps of purple energy coming out of both of her hands. Yennefer's violet eyes and pale skin are described in both the games and the books, and while the show goes its own direction with the character's physical appearance, Alyska's cosplay is a clear homage to the more classic portrayal.
Alyska credits photographer Justine Louise for her "amazing" work on helping the streamer portray Alyska, and it truly is amazing. The photographer has a great eye for detail and composition, which accentuates Alyska's work on the costume, hair, and makeup. The comments on the cosplayer's tweet are full of compliments for how great the photo looks. Yennefer is a mysterious character and there are a lot fans that still don't know much about her. Alyska's cosplay plays up the sorceress's subtle and spooky sides.
Although some fans expect Yennefer to look a certain way thanks to the books and games, there's a The Witcher 3 mod making Yennefer look like her TV version for people who prefer Anya Chalotra's take to the digital model. As a fictional character, there are bound to be different versions that appeal to different people, and maybe some people will even see Alyska's cosplay as their preferred mental image of Yennefer.
With a renewed interest in The Witcher trilogy thanks to the Netflix series, hopefully, fans will get to see even more cool cosplays of their favorite characters. The success of any franchise lies in its community, including dedicated fan creators who bring their own creative takes to the fictional world.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
