If you're looking for funding I would first just try ot get his name mroe known and his artwork seen. Once you have an audience it will be easier to get funding to make a book. Buy a domain name and make a website and try to get his work visible by posting online a lot, maybe updating some images through a blog or something. Later you can try kickstarter or try approaching a publisher directly.

Same but add the fact that at least the details are spot on sometimes

Oh nice, it's another /pol/shit circlejerking thread. Yeah, her art is ass so why making a thread about it you fucktard? Why not making actual useful threads about how to get better and about good artists and their style?

cry about it retard.

You have to say you like it in public or else people will think you're not fitting in and kick you out of their network.

I am interested in this as well. One thing I found is to try to make sure that there is a good sense of scale in its environment. If it is a concept work, make sure the proportions are fitting.

This is a very interesting topic because as I sat here trying to think of tips to explain myself I found a lot of contradictions in many generalizations you hear. Like "make the head large and it will make the creature seem smaller" but nature contradicts this plenty of times, elephant heads are massive, but we still read them as large beasts. The opposite "make the head small compared to the body to make the creature seem massive" is flawed too. Most turtles have small heads compared to their bodies but never get truly massive.

The more I reflect on this, The more it feels like it might be an ingrained thing. including features of things we know, along with the scale of the features can give a beast a better sense of size.

anyway, I just am posting here to express my interest in this topic with you, op

>I already study animal anatomy and their skeletal structures
Study human anatomy too, especially paying attention to homologous structures.

A lot of monster design is morphing and fusing structures seen in nature but in new ways. In many cases there exist many tried and true ways that generally give good results, but might lean on the generic side. In situations like that it helps to have an overall theme or unique element and incorporate that into the design in multiple ways.

For believable designs, it helps to consider the creature's lifestyle. Is it sapient? Are there many of its kind or is it unique? Where does it live? What does it feed on? Does it have any predators, or maybe other species it competes with in its habitat? Is there a hypothetical evolutionary lead up to this creature (i.e. would it share a common ancestor with something we're more familiar with)? Or maybe this creature is man-made, through science or magic. These kinds of considerations lead you to a direction of what might be visually suitable and what wouldn't.

The relative size of scales, fur, eyes, claws, teeth, etc can give a decent impression of scale. Perspective is also useful for showing scale. If it's big put the camera low and use some 3pt perspective. Atmospheric perspective also goes a long way.

Best advice though is to find artists you admire that create monster designs you like. Copy them, study them, reinterpret them, or just take inspiration from them. You already listed Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy, so go study the concept art in there. What about each do you like? Slowly build up a visual library of what you think is cool, and learn to find things in nature that inspire you in a similar way. Explore what you think is cool, figure out why you think it's cool, and pay attention to it in usual places for inspiration (whether it's animals, plants, man-made objects, fashion, etc).

Feng Zhu had a video on designing dragons that might be useful.

And another tip:
When studying artists you like, see if you can identify a source animal inspiration for a body part, then go study that real world analogue. A dragon for example might have feet resembling a certain type of dinosaur, or a bird of prey, or an alligator, etc. Maybe the scales look like those found on a certain type of snake. Maybe the wings came from a bat, a bird or a certain insect. Identify what it vaguely looks like from the real world, then familiarize yourself with that.

But anon rendering tutorials are completely fucking stupid unless you're going for a stylized look.

Just paint what you see in that photo god damn.

>>2943417
you're fucking stupid.

Fuck off, crab.

bunp

I'm actually inclined to agree with you here.

Digital and traditional are apples and oranges. You can learn the fundamentals on either platform, but being good in one is not going to make you good at the other. I'm pretty good with traditional media. When I try to use my tablet, it looks like I let a five year old with seizures take over. Similarly, I know many digital artists whose work in traditional media is just sloppy or simple compared to their usual stuff.

You're going to have to practice with both if you want to be good with both. If you're going to be a digital artist, focus on learning using digital media.

Not gonna make it.

Don't make new threads

It's shit.

That's very well done, doubt it's worth much though. I would not sell it if I were you

Are you sure it's a drawing and not a hand-coloured photograph?

>>2946487
not a drawing, not worth much, even if it were famous, it's just a colored print
