Can this level be achieved naturally (without 1-in-1000 talent)?

No and it's not really worth it. It didn't really enhance the story of Berserk in any way and Miura really should've just gone into illustrations.

Nope

you can tell that these illustrations consumed his entire life almost, just form into render, over and over. there was definitely a point in berserk where miura made the story take a backseat to what he wanted to draw that week. He made a good portion of the manga as a kid (20-30) and grew away from the more serious elements and instead treated those sections with increasing ridiculousness, probably jumping the shark in that regard somewhere around rape horse.

No, I'd agree with Anon 7929904, but with a different explanation; the technique is crosshatching and some ink is used - but if you only count the strokes made it's very obviously a shitload of work.
Take the one fish on the bottom or any other; the repetiously used gridlines follow and define the form. Were they get tighter and thicker its were the more darker areas are. If that's not enough - ink is used. He seems to got his inspiration from older botanical and seacreature illustrations...

It's called hatching and it's more about hard work and patience than "talent"
If you removed the renderfaggotry you'd find the actual drawings here are a bit awkward actually

this garbage? yes, obviously.
in a week!
A week of someone who teaches what exactly truly to do, not "how to learn to learn it on your own as all people in drawthreads here do"
and each day, multiple tasks that take OVER 5 HOURS! EACH!t. (i dont know what t means) permaprebegschizo
##what do i see? i see lines that are drawn around the creatures and on their bodies. extremely cheap
what i also see are details that seem unrealistic and excessive, rather then non-made-up!
now, the forms are complicated. but they are all mechanics that can be taught in a few days with the right mentor, especially "the lines around the forms" and "the animals".
eyes and nets and mouths can also be drawn easily
cheap anime face (author is seemingly drawing garbage), and cheap meaningless "armor, action, sword, excess drawing". this is literally hype fiction in its form. it is designed to look "impressive". it should not exist. it is bad.
shades are more complicated, as are composition stuff. but still learnable in 4 days
i believe in my words, i never post bait

As a hopeless beg who literally just started taking the grind seriously (enrolled into an art class, doing daily grinds) and having read some of the techniques used in that panel, I say yes, you can realistically achieve that in a relatively short term goal. Maybe 3-4 years if you REALLY slack off.

1/2To me berserk suffers from being visually generic, super detailed cross hatched art has been around for centuries now and to me berserk is just generic manga with all the usual tropes and style polished with tedious and pretty rendering.I understand and know well why it's considered great looking by manga fans, it's definitely a unicorn in its own field but as a whole it just feels like a one trick pony to me and probably most people who aren't specifically into manga or comics in general.I find the effect it has on the audiences very inspiring but not the art, the fact that high effort comic book art can have such a powerful impact on the reader is great but that same effect can be done in many different ways.I see tons of artwork online that doesn't get much attention that is on the same level as berserk and I think it's because berserk is valued because people appreciate the manga, I don't think the art can stand alone without the context of the story.Kim jung gi is another one trick pony, his comics didn't get any attention because they weren't particularly good and his art wasn't valued until he started drawing life and turned his career into performance art.
But again his art is only valued for tue context and he never managed to get out of it, people usually can't even name any specific artwork from him because the reason why they like it and are impressed by it is because of the way he draws them.Alex ross (pic) is an example of an artist who did the se thing but failed because the context wasn't valued and despite the high effort art people don't appreciate it but if he had worked on something that was valued by audiences people woukd be glazing his art like no other.Ruan jia would be another example.I think it's important to be able to understand why some art is appreciated instead of taking it for the face value of its success and reputation.

It's not even that well drawn. Just overly detailed hatching.

This is master level art or is it?
Copying this style today wouldn't really make sense because ven a child can draw better than that.Generic artists at that time were probably scribbling stick figures and corner suns while talking about appeal and copying masters works while some rising artists was figuring out using two tones instead of flat colours.

This is one of the worst threads I've read in a while, from the awful first post to the dunning-kruger "it's not that impressive" posts, to the schizobabble word salads. Actual garbage and it's not even OP's fault surprisingly

Man, I just don't care for Miura's style at all, and I feel like a crazy person for thinking so. It's the same problem I have with that Bernie Wrightson pic that always gets posted, where everything is rendered into a general grey sludge, and it reads more like you're looking at a dense wall of hatching than a picture made up of lines. It feels absurd to me to put such pained efforts into creating something that doesn't even hit the eye right in the end.
Have some taste and spare yourself the suffering. You literally don't have to kill yourself to make something compelling.

Reach what retard? Being able to cross hatch? Might take you like 2 years but aside from that there's nothing out of arm's reach for most /beg/s here
There's 0 flow to the page, nothing to rest your eye on, just randomly arranged forms patched up with cross hatching to distract you from fact of how disgusting this page is composition-wise, it's all just mechanical display of meaningless drawings without any order to the chaos
No color aswell so you literally just have to grasp light reflections and hatch away lol

It's just a really detailed drawing, they're rare in serialized mangas because they're time consuming but they're not necessarily the hardest thing

Miura achieved his talent by drawing volumes of his manga Miuranger (which spanned 40 volumes) during elementary school.
