What more should be in this thumbnail?

[brisk kernel]

Maybe a picture of a ship?

Or like a tropical island or something like that

Tried a ship and had a hard time getting it right to be honest 🤔

[dim crag]

I don't see how it would be good to be honest

or well, how to make it good I should say

[brisk kernel]

I get that, maybe like a treasure chest? With gold or gems?

[dim crag]

yeah that could work, perhaps at the end of this or something?

What do you think? @brisk kernel

This is Frosty’s friend. I do a lot of graphic design & he asked me for some input too.

This has a good foundation & it’s a nice start. I have two suggestions for this.

1. I’d get rid of the drop shadow on the pirate and replace it with either a solid line (either black or a thin white line with a thin black outline). This will give him more distinction instead of the shadows on the pirate blending into the background with the drop shadow.

2. My other suggestion is to add a large element into the blank space in the top right corner. It’s a little empty as is, even with the dotted line. I’d suggest either a ship, a clashing gun and sword, a barrel of rum, or something else closely related. I would also suggest that this object you add doesn’t have an outline line the pirate, and it is similar but slightly different in color so it’s coherent with the rest of the colors

Appreciate the input! @brisk kernel

What do you think of this then?

[brisk kernel]

Yes! That’s much better! It looks good

Not too busy but isn’t empty

[dim crag]

Alright thanks a ton! @brisk kernel

[brisk kernel]

Np! 😁

Maybe a ship or something like that?By the way, what happened with the old one? I remember it was awesome

[brisk kernel]

I got a quick question for you, what software do you use to make your thumbnails?
