I'm not really good at explaining my methods and I don't really know much theory so it's hard to explain but-
The most important stuff is framing, colour contrast, rule of thirds and guiding the viewer's eyeline. Note that I'm not a professional, my work is NOT all that haha so do your own research on these principles!
Nil and Cap are framed in the center, brightest colours to draw attention. The way Cap and the other illagers are posed also kind of make a 'circle' surrounding Nil (especially the ones on the right are kind of diagonal), to make them seem more imposing, and draws attention to their target: Nil.
The pillager patrol is framed almost in the center as well, Nil and Polly on either side, following the rule of thirds here pretty closely. The difference in colour contrast helps seperate the foreground (Nil n Polly) and the mid/background with the patrol, creates distance.
The patrol is 'cornered' by Nil and Polly, but not surrounded. Polyl and Nil aren't posed particularly imposing, but having them much larger and on either side (and obviously considering the context) puts them in visual power.
THIS ONE is a fucking mess. Generally following the rule of thirds here as well, Nil and Wirt are off to the right side and are the brightest in tone, taking attention to themselves first. The OTHER magnet of attention is the Hog on the left breaking through the barricade, and it kinda balances out. The text being where it is pretty messy, the viewer's eye is really taken everywhere here, which hopefully adds to the feeling of chaos rather than actually making it chaotic. But it kinda is, the lava stream in the bg above Nil I should've made darker..
This one is much better. Anyways like-- see how everything is sort of sectioned?? And the piglins weapons' as diagonal lines pointing towards the centered object of interest: the gold. The tonal contrast helping seperate everything? The missing scar on Vidi's brow-GODDAMNIT-
Anyways some more of this:
Note how the 'smear frame' from Grand's Axe frames her and the other one. And the tone differences that bring attention to her.
I think my best framing work is definitely in the Johnny chase:

Somewhere between Polly and Johnny parting ways and then reuniting in a Raid- John
I think generally it's probably better to look through MY INSPIRATIONS to get an idea of,, how I do my stuff:

This is an art GIFTING game ! Do not attack people expecting revenges. You do not owe anyone revenges !
