This was a Dungeons & Dragons tiefling commission. \u201cThe main task here was to ensure that the oracle\u2019s pose conveyed the context and main thrust of his speech, while at the same time leaving a hint of subtext concealed behind his back,\u201d Polina says.<\/p>\n

Another D&D piece. \u201cI decided to diversify the classic plot with additional dynamics, as well as a reminder that bad habits are harmful to your health!.\u201d Polina says.<\/p>\n

A Blizzard<\/p>\n

Of this Warcraft commission, Polina says: \u201cIt was important to make the atmosphere feel cold, because this is a key plot point for the character. As a result, more time was spent on the snow than on the central figure!\u201d<\/p>\n
