Cosplayer Portrays Iris from The Witcher 3

Model Tatyana “Blackness” Smirnova has portrayed Iris von Everec in a new cosplay photo shoot based on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The Redanian painter is a character from the Hearts of Stone expansion who died alone at her estate from profound grief and emotional pain.

Photographer Darya “DARIEN” Nikitina returned to the fantasy world of the action RPG for the shoot, creating images for fans of the series.

Iris is one of the central characters in Hearts of Stone.

By nature, Iris was a sensitive, loving and devoted woman, capable of deep feelings and self-sacrifice for her family. But years of emotional coldness from her husband, who had become a “man with a heart of stone,” broke her will and plunged her into deep depression.

After death, Iris became consumed by endless sorrow, fear and despair, leaving her bound to her memories. She has long dark hair, pale skin with a bluish tint and deep dark circles under her eyes.

She wears an old-fashioned black mourning dress with a high collar. A defining part of Iris’s story is the Painted World she created, a unique dimension inside a painting that Geralt enters during the story. The surreal world is woven from her fears, happy memories and nightmares, with every object and monster carrying symbolic meaning.
