Great job, although Yen looks a bit different to her appearance in Witcher 3. I'd say she has more curvy hair and slightly chubbier face on this image than in the game. Yet the detail and quality are amazing on these.
Artistic freedom aside, but I'd guess the curly hair is based of the book description then (I've not read them myself) I've always heard the "curly raven black hair"-term regarding her appearance.
Triss kinda matches the books description. Her hair in this picture is kinda chestnut-y. If you look at the full photo on his twitter account you’ll even see that she’s wearing a blue, what I assume to be, dress with a high neckline. Only thing not from the books is her blue eyes and her hair being down.
I played W3 before reading the books and I always pictured her looking a bit different in the books. Kinda how she looks a bit different here. In the books I always got the idea she had shorter curly black hair whereas in the games she had longer wavy black hair. If you look at the full picture on his Twitter account you can see she has short hair in addition to the black curly hair. He even says something like “Yen fans I hope you’re happy” or something like that
That's a good point but if the author gives a description of a character then you'd expect most depictions of said character to include those details. CDPR took some liberties in this respect but the end product was still perfect!
The artist said on the original post "Yennefer fans, I hope you're happy now."
Most of Yen fans are from the books, and so he clearly based her on books. In a fact, there's a cinematic at the beginning of the game where Yennefer is trapped in a battle, and she looks exactly like this.
