Hello,  
I made this skull and crow render. I wanted to make a cool looking NPR shader.

I love this, I could see this being a book cover or a movie poster. I would love to see a clay render of this, or wireframe, learn more about your geometry 🙂

Epic! Love that NPR shader too!

The first thing I thought of was [The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe.](https://www.google.com/search?q=edgar%20allan%20poe%20the%20raven&tbm=isch&hl=en-GB&tbs=rimg:CQyui-UPzo2YYT6XGS08GOO7sgIOCgIIABAAKAE6BAgBEAHAAgA&sa=X&ved=0CBwQuIIBahcKEwjQodGf_Y7-AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQBg&biw=1903&bih=955)

Thank you very much, a thought about seeing it on a book cover did occur to me at one point to!  
I’ll update the main post with pictures of the wireframe shortly. I had a turntable of wireframe done, but i wasn’t allowed to upload it here since it exceded the limit. In the mean time, the turntable is uploaded on my Artstation.
