It's called "narrative" - it's telling a story visually, and sometimes the right combination is extremely compelling to some people.
There's no way to cheese or cheat or work specifically to guarantee it - it happens randomly, and some people just have the right perspective and talent to produce them more frequently.
There's no formula to it - if there is, find it, you'll be a billionaire exploiting it.

>Cookie monster leading this band of pirates.

Nigger that's a picture of one of /k/'s meetings. Not sure if was when that dude made sperm-brownies.

>>3074058
What are you on about dude, /k/ meetups consist of overweight pale neckbeards and skinny gook manlets, not African pirates.

This is conceptually very simple. You can do it with a stationary camera and a turntable. Mark the edges of the turntable every N degrees. Put the statue on the turntable. Rotate it to every mark and take a picture at that angle, keeping the lighting setup identical. It's a bit of work but only 20-40 shots per sculpture.

If the piece is so large or heavy that you can't put it on a turntable, you can also use a tripod around the piece, but will have to deal with changing lighting. Instead of marking angles on the edge of the turntable, you have to mark positions on the floor.

That seems quite simple. I will do that and see the results, then I'll research about how to present that on a webpage. Thanks for your advice.

I don't know about the effect of blue splattering. It's looks like you didn't know how to finish the piece and did that to cover it up.

The shells look a little bit scratchy, and the red sand is a little questionable IMO.

Not the worst watercolor I've seen. I'd go further with the values, overall it's a bit washed out, and I'd work the details more. A personal landscape like this (that's what you'd call this, or a still life) should be all about the detail.
And, for the future - the spattering technique is legit, but you need to plan it out, and the paint used should not be darker than the actual painting. They make liquid latex just for this kind of thing - you use the liquid latex to cover the areas you don't want the spatter on, applied by brush, and when the spatter is dried, you peel the latex off. You can also use low-tack drafting tape for this.

it looks nice. id buy it if i was into that kind of thing.

learn anatomy then copy anime faces until you can come up with your own ones. Anime is hardly an art style, it's more like real bodies + abstract face.

there is no "anime art style." the only thing thats "anime" are the faces.

>>3070799
no, cell shading and lineart included too.

it's shit. proportions are way off, lighting is boring, composition is boring, not balanced, etc. etc.

Pretty good for a 10-11 year old, I guess.

Better than half of the stuff in /beg/, too anyway.

Birds particular features are what makes them recognizable. Best bet would be to look at references of crows and compare them with other birds (like the blackbird) to see what makes them stand-out.

The beak is particular and most recognizable, but pay attention to the rump, mantle, tail... basically what makes it a crow and not just a bird. For example, your crow doesn't have crow eyes. Same for his toes, crows have toes which would put a pigeon to shame.

Thanks mate. I already improve my draw.

Fuck

Just pick up a pencil and paper and look up a guide for basics, try drawing every example the guide shows.

2. quit being a cherry picking retard

>>3071369
I am sure Nosebro would be able to surpass that.

>>3071363

You shouldn't assume that concept art is meant to be polished.

that said it was a stupid choice for a promotional image.

>>3071192
Bump for op

then don't loomis every single head. there are other ways of constructing a head, some just sight-draw or whatever.

restricting yourself to only loomis is a handicap

Jaw shape and chin length

>>3070562
i do believe so, although some people will disagree and i respect that.

checked his devianart, his work is a lot better.
I think you could make all the improvements in the pic within just 6 months of diligent work. 4 hrs a day, 7 days a week.
