Orc of the Plains

by

Anna Balashova

Born of human blood, he was a rarity among the orc clans of the plains. With red hair and blue eyes, his striking features drew whispers and stares. Raised on the edge of human lands and hardened by a life of raids, he grew into an outcast, caught between two worlds.

With this project, the goal was to ground the character in realism - avoiding both excessive grimness and heavy stylization. It became an opportunity to refine the workflow and explore the balance between fantasy and believability.
