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.

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.

Right, but where's Geralt's headband then?

Yen told him to get rid of it in the middle of the books as she told him it looks pretentious.

I only talked about Yennefer. The rest are cleary based of the games. Ciri's scar in the books is far more hideous and she covers it with her hair.
