Revered as one of the best and most in-depth open-world games of the past decade, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continues to draw players to its massive adventure nearly seven years on.

Inspired by this, Reddit user ellie1398 has begun to recreate The Witcher 3’s bestiary as a series of hand-drawn illustrations in a notebook of theirs. Each page of the notebook looks as if it will feature the flavor text, tips, and artwork from a single entry from the in-game bestiary, as evidenced by the recreations of the entries for the game’s bears and panthers.
