The goal here is to make Geralt look strong and imposing, and the best way to do that is to exaggerate the triangle of his upper torso. ![]() Take a look at Geralt:įirst, let’s talk about shape. ![]() We’re going to talk about season one, because that’s where the difference is the most obvious. Using clothes to change someone’s appearance is super common, and Tim Aslam’s costume design for The Witcher is actually a really good example of this, so buckle up because this is a long ride!Ĭreating an illusion like this has two main components: shape (the style lines created by the clothes), and fit (the way the clothes hang on the person’s body), and is the result of close collaboration between the designer and the production team. ![]() On a Watsonian level, however, the notion of Jaskier as this big meaty dude aggressively arguing with all his tailors to ensure that he looks as non threatening and foppish and entertaining as possible while also looking as sexy as he can (for a Jaskier definition of sexy, at least) is generating considerable entertainment for me this fine morning.Īsk and ye shall receive!
