So this isn't my thumbnail I've paid someone to make it and if there is any feedback you think I should give him I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

that's amazing yeah you don't need the
History of Google Snake
then u make make history bigger
that's just my tiny nitpick it looks amazing
crude ruin
Wait wdym
Just have the word history and make it big?
Also I think it's obvious but just to make sure this is just a sketch
errant oak
Just have the word history and make it big?
yess like change from "the history" to "history
then u can make the text bigger, more readable for small screens
crude ruin
Ok yeah the text is very easy to change
do you think the sketch itself is good or is there anything youd change/add
errant oak
do you think the sketch itself is good or is there anything youd change/add
i think it's really good, I'd like to see it with colours before final opinions
crude ruin
Yeah I can send it again when it's finished
I feel bad this dude gave me a discount because it's our first time working together I think I'm going to tip him after the order is complete
errant oak
I feel bad this dude gave me a discount because it's our first time working toge...
yep if u like it tip them
errant acorn
I'm not sure if it's just me going too nuts with concept ideas or if it's just a good and creative idea, but maybe instead of the apple, the snake could be about to eat the Google's G instead
Like this one
Otherwise though it looks great
At least from what I've seen from my niche (Pokemon), whenever they go for drawn thumbnails, they try to avoid adding text and instead use the drawing itself to express the whole idea
crude ruin
Yeah I definitely see what you mean
I'm going to A/B test one with the text and one without to see if it makes a difference
thanks for the advice!

No problem! I'm basically in the process of commissioning someone for a thumbnail for the first time too so I know how it can be.

It is for sure a slightly stressful experience

It looks like a blender 3d model that’s what I taught at first then while you were chatting with mexy I found out it’s drawn
crude ruin
having to trust somone youve never talked to before to be able to capture the image you havein your head

is that good or bad
waxen compass
It’s good
errant acorn
Oh that's the thing at least that I've got going for me. I'm commissioning someone that I've been friends with for a few years and he's watched my video, and has my script+title. I've given him free reign for the most part mainly with some pointers for adjustments
waxen compass
I actually tought it was in blender so I was about to tell you to add texture to the snake by uv wrapping
errant acorn
And he's heard me yap nonstop about my creation process for both the first and 2nd video so he has a bit of an idea of what I was going for, so it's easier for me to trust him

Ah lucky. Im hoping to keep a relationship up with this thumbnail artist if the thumbnail performs well. Makes it easier on me in the future

Yeah I need to learn blender tbh it might help make some graphics for videos

It’s easy tbh atleast for me I used to do low poly designs for games
errant acorn
Yeah, I also figured that if I'm getting someone for thumbnails I want someone for the long haul, and realized that he was pretty much everything I was looking for.
crude ruin

I did basic 3d modeling in school for 3d printers so maybe some of those skills can transfer over
errant acorn
It probably does
crude ruin
Are you working on your next vid?
errant acorn
Not literally rn since I'm still at work, but overall I'm in the process of making it, yeah
ngl one thing that I realized fairly quickly is that almost any skill can be useful in the video making process even if it isn't something that your videos are about
I've used programming for my videos way more than I expected for a gaming+storytelling channel lol
errant acorn
Yeah, basically for quite a bit of my visuals I've made some stuff in RPG Maker since I didn't really have appropriate b-roll using Pokemon Essentials, or more recently I had to reverse engineer the 3DS Pokemon games' battle videos' data to figure out how to flip the perspectives since I had some matches missing that my friend did in his perspective
I could've taken the time to recreate the matches or just used his perspective, but I figured that it would just improve the quality and/or make things faster in the long run if I figured that out early
crude ruin
Yeah that's pretty cool tbh
I dont think coding would really help my style of video tho
crude ruin
Here is the final version
Do you think anything needs to be changed?
@errant oak
@errant acorn @waxen compass
errant acorn
Looks great to me
errant oak
<@529945693687906324>
the text, tell em to remove the "the" and can they add a tiny black border around the white texts for easier readability
other than that looks amazing
waxen compass
Outline the text and it’s going to be perfect
