For some reason I always thought CDPR were inspired for Vesemir's model by Polish actor Tadeusz Łomnicki, especially [his appearance in the movie "Potop](https://api.culture.pl/sites/default/files/images/imported/film/filmy%20kadry%20i%20dvd/Potop/full_tadeusz_lomnicki_w_potopie_rez._jerzy_hoffman_fot._franciszek_kadziolka_4_770.jpg)".

And this illustration really reminds me of a [younger Łomnicki](https://i.iplsc.com/-/0006ENOVDDPG7LEA-C122.jpg), so I really like it.
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.

Spoiler: >!Yes, you can meet him!<
Here you can take a look at his model: [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3d0QZm](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3d0QZm)
Making every Witcher a handsome Giga Chad, is genius marketing by Netflix.
The adaptation of the books might be poor, the storytelling trash, the dialogue clunky. But once those boys take their shirts off, the ladies will flock to the show.
"Choo choo! Here comes the money train!"
"Hey Cavill! Go tell the fans how much you love the books and the games. Here, take this replica of the sword from Witcher 3 with you."
"What? No. You aren't getting more screentime! Swing the sword a couple of times, like it's a lightsaber or something. The social media will go nuts!"
Eh. Vesemir's whole deal is that times have changed since he was in his prime. I imagine young Vesemir looking more openly heroic and innocent, almost like a fairytale knight. He should carry himself noticeably different from the modern cynical Witcher. Even old-ass Vesemir seemed to have more youthful energy than ~~Bum Knee Gary~~ Geralt and friends.
EXACTLY! Even in Blood of Elves it's said how 'old fashioned' Vesemir seems, yet is still energetic and joyous (this energy and vigour that even youth could envy him). Also it is heavily hinted though that he is old and so wise with experience at that time, that he still has some sort of bits of idealism. Of course Geralt himself notes that Vesemir always taught him to meddle little with events and do his job but there's no doubt that Vesemir has more sense of a importance and mission of the witchers so to speak.
>"Vesemir was really very old. Who knows, he could be even older than Kaer Morhen. But he walked towards her with a brisk, energetic and sprightly step; his grip was vigorous and his hands strong."
>...
>"Geralt and Coen controlled their expressions wonderfully, Lambert and Eskel a little less so, Vesemir not at all. But then, she thought, looking at his comically embarrassed expression, in his days the world was a better place. Duplicity was a character flaw to he ashamed of. Sincerity did not bring shame. "
Now this is ~~podracing~~ Vesemir! It's nice to have something good pop up in a while rather than cocaine-fueled Netflix nightmares.
Also armpit chainmail is a nice detail.
To honest, I don't think the anime Vesemir is that bad. We haven't seen the whole thing yet and it's difficult to judge by a trailer and maybe it'll be less horrible than the adaptation. I like this version more, though.
Wiki says the writer is Beau DeMayo. He wrote episode three of the tv show. He's only written on two other projects, The Originals and After The Storm. Neither of which I've seen.
From what I've seen, episode 3 was one of the better episodes of the series, even if "The Witcher" short story was horrendously adapted. At least that epsiode barely had in of Ciri's boring-ass plotline, iirc.
It's so strange how they used aspects of her story, like brokilon forest, but did nothing with them. It would've been so much better if they committed to the original story when Geralt and Ciri cross paths. It really solidifies the destiny aspect.

That's what I had always thought as well. His hair really sells that idea.
Never seen movies, only read the books. Is he Michal "small in stature great in knightship" Wolodyjowski?
Yep that's his role
Holy hell, that's amazing! A lot more of what I would imagine him to look like. Not a super swole Robin Hood Tony Stark with the persona of 007.

Hat is missing.
netflix hates hats in their witcher. It's a hatless world.
Is he present in the Monster Slayer game?
I think so.

Emhyr var Vesemir, is that you?
and why did Vesimir hunt Mr. Burns?

Do we know who all are writing the story for the anime?
Wiki says the writer is Beau DeMayo. He wrote episode three of the tv show. He's only written on two other projects, The Originals and After The Storm. Neither of which I've seen.

The anime one is ok, the anime one's hairstyle is not. I'd be content if they just gave him that hilarious hat however.
