Hello! Recently, I’ve started learning how to make GFXs and such, although I only have a couple weeks of experience. I have seen lots of cool thumbnails across Roblox, especially ones that have all sorts of cool details/color overlays. So, I was wondering how I could improve my GFXs, and maybe get some feedback? Here’s an example of a thumbnail I tried to create. It’s pretty simple, and there’s not much going on, but I haven’t yet discovered many things to add.
What applications/websites are useful for this other than Blender and Pixlr?
I myself use paint dot net, its not the best but yea, there are others such as gimp, photoshop, photopea (ripoff of photoshop)
What could I add to the thumbnail to make it better?
use a rig and pose, and an hdri if you cant make good lighting using suns and such, MattRBX’s rigs are good for beginners
Where do people get all those overlays/effects?
Just type the effect you want in google and download a transparent thing, or you can just make them in blender but its kinda hard
Yeah, I did use a rig. It might be a bit hard to tell since the pose wasn’t that much, and I wasn’t sure how to pose the character on a thumbnail. But thanks for the tips, I’ll keep that in mind!
For overlays/effects, the most EFFECTIVE and time saving method would be to download a thumbnail pack/gfx pack They’re usually PSD though, you’d have to find a pixlr one
the background is clean, i like it. the character posing is just bad, make it more INTERESTING. have softer lighting (Making soft and good GFX lighting, with a yellow purple yellow pattern diagonally).
Photoshop, GIMP, Photopea, ETC.
already said that
there are many overlay and effect packs online that you can find
they are usually .psd, and are only openable with photopea or photoshop
