An assignment i did for my class.

This painting is based on The Witcher 3 quest, "In the Heart of the Woods."

The short version of the story is that you, playing as a witcher, have to summon a Leshen (a forest creature similar to cryptids like the Wendigo). If you look closely at the trees in the painting, you can actually see him hiding there.

To summon a Leshen, you must slay a pack of wolves, which usually averages about five wolves. This is why there are five specific hearts lying on the ground. As a bonus lore detail, the crows in the trees are there because the Leshen uses them as his eyes and ears throughout the woods!

I just finished the game and wanted to do something for it. What a Nova experience it was. Hope you chooms likes it.
