Feedback on Hogwarts Returned GFX

UhhQuoi · January 4, 2022, 2:10am

Ok, so over the past few years I have been getting really attached to the Harry Potter Genre. So I decided why not make a GFX based on it, I would really appreciate some advice on this as it is my first actual GFX that I have made in good quality ( for beginners ). Keep in mind, this is my first GFX that I’m releasing to the public so don’t expect insane graphics.

So to start this off, I will show you the before and after of what I did.

Before

In this Area, I got the avatar to work, did some animating and finally finishing up with the scene with adding lights for the final touch!

And then I opened up the Software Blender and added some effects and UI parts…

After

I made each different effect in different frames, so if anything looks messy that’s on me!

Hopefully you have advice to help me and if so, thank you so much! I will be able to learn from most good advices that have good explanations.

I dont really know what is going up on the top with the colorful like confetti
I think you should scale the text so that it fits the entire box in all the boxes

I think if you got rid of the confetti in the top corner it would make it look cleaner. good job!!

And then Attempt 2:

It looks absolutely amazing! Great work (:

I really like that one good work

Attempt 2 is the best by far, it has much more dynamic range and contrast which I like

A thumbnail should be a thumbnail.
Looking at your thumbnail from a distance (which is what most players will be doing), I can’t read any of the text. Remove it.
The only text that should be in a thumbnail is the game logo, and maybe one or two words.

So, from what I am getting… You pretty much just want this?

The design doesn’t look very intentional, it seems like all of it is spread around instead o fin one place.
