Book Overview

This book summarizes the art team’s work on The Witcher, from the original concept draft at the turn of 2002 and 2003 to the final visuals. The art team began with three members and expanded to twenty people, all employed by CD Projekt Red.

Adam Badowski, Head of Art, introduces the book and explains the visual formula. The team wanted a brutal and believable world, influenced by dark fantasy, Diablo 2, and the look of 15th and 16th century Europe.

Mood was more important than historical accuracy. The designs reference late Medieval and early Renaissance trends, Baroque painting, Dutch landscape and genre scenes, and Slavic culture.
