We really do love Mads Mikkelsen andThe Witcher’s Geralt here at DualShockers, so having both morphed into one place can cause more excitement than teenagers at a Justin Bieber concert.
At thestart of the year, we saw Mads answering some questions over on Reddit as he promoted his movieARTIC.Of course, someone had to ask him something Death Stranding related so one fan asked him if could say anything about the upcoming title - naturally, he really couldn’t due to the secrecy surrounding the game and joked that if he did, he would …“get a visit from six strong Japanese guys real fast”.
Someone else who’s a big fan ofThe Witcher 3is Imad Awan, a professional concept artist, and illustrator from Pakistan. When he heard rumors that Mad Mikkelsen could possibly be playing Geralt of Rivia in the upcoming Netflix tv series, he took to what he does best and created a digital concept artwork of Mads himself as Geralt. Of course, we now know thatHenry Cavillwill be stepping into the shoes ofGeralt of Rivia, but Imad’s creative mind has done an amazing job at portraying a mash-up of theDeath Strandingstar andThe Witcher’s Geralt.
I am a huge fan of the Witcher games. I heard rumours about Mad Mikkelsen playing Geralt of Rivia in the upcoming netflix tv series based. I photoshopped him just to see if he fits the role. I usually do not create this stuff but I couldn’t resist for this one. I think he is a good choice. What do you think?

Combining Mads Mikkelsen and Geralt isn’t the only piece of digital beauty that Imad partakes in - his talents seem to be extremely versatile. If you visit hisInstagram page, you’ll notice a host of different art projects he has taken on, some which include an outstanding drawing of Joaquin Phoenix as the new Joker and many other fantastic works of art fromThe Lord of the RingsandGame of Thronesto name a few.
Excited about Joaquin Phoenix as the new Joker, so I had to create this in my free time. . . . . . . . . . #art #illustration #dc #conceptart #instadaily #artistoninstagram #artist #artwork #drawing #painting #artoftheday #photography #picoftheday #digitalpainting #digitalart #comics #whysoserious #photoshop #justiceleague #movieposter #dcuniverse #animation #dailysketch #sketching #drawing #conceptartist #sketch #gotham #batman #thejoker @art.club.daily @art_toinspire @art_dailydose @artevm @hypnotizing_arts @dccomics @dcgramm @dc.marvel_post @dccomicsfinest @dcnewsfeed @dcfamily @dc @igsuperheros @dcmarvel_movies @marvel.dc.team @dcfact @dc_extended_universe @batmanvsuperman @batman @batman.official @batman_dccomics @batman.archives @batman.f0rever @batman_artlovers @batmanfanart20 @batmanart @joker.lovers @joker.______________ @joker.harleyquinn @joker_land @joker__gram @joker.writes @joker_hd_wallpapers

As much as Mads would rock the Geralt look, I don’t think anyone could beatcosplayer Tarynwho donsThe Witcherattire like he was born wearing it.
If you enjoy Imad’s work and find yourself wanting to learn how you too could create some wonderful visual art - you’re able to check out hisYouTube pagewhere he uploads video speedruns of his digital paintings that will give you a glimpse into the mind of an artist, maybe you can pick up a few pointers also.
If you’re a fan of Geralt – then again, who isn’t? – ensure to keep an eye out for the eight-episode long seriesThe Witcherwhen it hitsNetflix later this year, but currently, no release date has been provided as yet. In the meanwhile, check outartist and illustrator Astor Alexanderwho has shared a set of character renders for Geralt, Triss, Yennefer, and Ciri that bring each of these characters to life in incredible detail.
