GFX Thumbnail Feedback

Hi there.

Recently made a thumbnail for a game that doesn’t exist, let me know what you think in the comments!

It’s really good! I do think that there isn’t a purpose of the reflection of “THE MIST” because of how dark it is, I couldn’t really see it until I looked at it closer.

Thank you so much!

And yeah, I was just playing around with layer and layer styles throughout this image.

Thank you nonetheless! :slight_smile:

This GFX Thumbnail looks nicely made. You should be very proud of this!

Although, it seems very uncomfortable to look at. As there’s too much open space, the font doesn’t seem to match your thumbnail and there doesn’t seem to be enough shadow in your character render.

Try experimenting with different fonts and backgrounds, or at least try filling in the space. The character’s stance seems to be in an awkward position too, so try testing out different ones to make it more realistic.

Otherwise, it looks decent! Depending on the type of game you want to make, format the thumbnail around that.

Looks amazing. If you made a game called The Mist, you should use this thumbnail.

With your feedback, I have changed the pose, shadows, font and filled the background a bit more.

The design I was going with was a horror theme, hence the darkness and red gradient to symbolise blood.

Here’s the new and improved version.

This looks way better, you should try adding something under title to fill in the space. Although, either way it looks great. :smiley:

I really like the GFX but it doesn’t look good for a game.
It’s more like a twitter banner.

The Mist Text is kinda off and lighting of the character kinda doesn’t fit with the atmosphere(like kinda.)

I really light the fog effects but making it only through the half makes it a bit boring, Try adding them different parts of the GFX.

Finally the characters legs are straight. I highly suggest you to pose the legs professionally.

Look’s nice! It looks as the theme is a mafia/hitman type theme so I suggest adding a crowd of people behind the character other than that it’s alright!

It looks good, the improvements made definitely work!

However, I would suggest making the background less blurred, just because it doesn’t really give any sense to the general atmosphere of the game. I am aware it is called The Mist, but all we can see is a light at the top right, so wouldn’t have a clue what the game is about.

Your watermark also is very basic, I would improve that to fit more into the GFX design.

Thank you all for the responses. Really appreciated.

I’ve come to a somewhat finished version, hope you all enjoy it.
