I'll help a little. Only thing I would do now is use a finer tip pencil like a f or b and add more detail or a lot of contrast so it dowsn't look flat.
I love your third piece because I love high contrast. It's a portrait but there's no tone on basically the whole face which is an actual illusion that there is a face. When really there's only hair, eyes, lips, etc. 10/10 ^_^
If you want your clouds just under the mountain tops (if you have any), right click on the preview where you want your clouds hight to be, copy altitude, and paste it in the clouds dialogue(sp?). Then increase the depth to like 400-500 and coverage. Then increase the jitter samples or something so it won't look grainy when rendering.
I went to that site and had no clue on what the purpose was. It didn't explain very well what it's for, especially to a newbie on coding and templates. If you know anything about it can you PM me or just say it here?
How about a little shaders tutorial. Detail on mountains confuse me with the max/min alt. constraints. Then I can help you with something if you want. D: Edit: Probably the best I can do.
I can turn it into a cartoon if that's what you mean. Like a black outline with color, which will look anime with clean lines. Shouldn't take long to show you what I mean. I'm pretty sure I'll change someting, I'm in a hurry.
Results from tutorials doesn't count since it's like a tv, you watch without thinking. Try making your own orbs, post your reults and then ask for some feedback.
Anime renders are usually bound to look novice unless you're pro and people know your usual style. Add an interesting background like an anime stock or other renders.

Jack Be Nimble Scissors? wat Also, here's an old school tag I just made. Nothing serious, just messing around with stocks. Someone can have it if they want.
