The Witcher 2 - Valentine Iorveth x Saskia

woopsie my first valentine drawing ever hehe, please be indulgent i never draw couples and have a serious inferiority complex about this !! XD !!

/about the drawing/

The original idea was pink and blue ambiance, but while I was doing the flat colors, I thought that trying to match colors to Saskia's color scheme (red &white) would be interesting and more 'valentine'. Also white and red being my fav colors, its been a looooong time I wanted to do a drawing with only thoses colors. (to be honest, my drawing 'sanctuary with my OC Solan and Ramius was originally planed to be red and white but I failed hard)

The hardest part here was to handle Iorveth 's green and blue. I unsatured the blue to make it looks greyish, and replaced the green by a particular color I use for LOGH FPA jacket. It looks green but in fact its a "greyish red". I dont know why it always looks like a light green shade, but I like the illusion and this particular color is really handful !

I like this couple mostly bc... it's almost canon but  eerrr NO LOL ???

I mean
Iorveth was infatuated with Saskia, and he tried hard to get the dragonslayer.
But I liked the fact that, despite everything he did for her : allying with a species he hate (humans), bringing his best archers to fight for her and give her a kingdom, fighting a powerful sorceress to lift her curse... Despite this, she rejected him,  because even if Iorveth changed a lot during the story, it's too late for him,  he killed of thousand of people, women, children included, burnt villages, terrorised entire populations... and nothing can erase his past actions.
Also she said she prefer dwarves, this is valid

oh big spoiler : Saskia is a f*cking dragon with a human form. My queen.

voilà voilà,
