I created a thumbnail for my own purposes, and I wanted to see opinions on it.

The game is called Improbable Battles, OT Digital is my group.
The image portrays a colored regiment in the 1860-70s being cheered on into combat, inspired by the end battle in the movie “Glory”.

The models in the render were created in Roblox Studio, and then taken into Blender for rendering. The dirt floor and wood are PBR textures (that didn’t quite turn out as well as I though), and the soldiers and horses are mtl textures. The smoke was a quick smoke effect in Blender. The sky was just added in behind the render and edited a bit to change the color.

The models are models used in the game, and the soldiers are bald because the characters in the game spawn bald on purpose.

Any opinions are appreciated.

U could add some emotion faces to them and use blender rigs. As it is a thumbnail not a screenshot so u must do everything for realism. Hair must be there. Example phantom forces never had hair but their thumbnails.had hair.

The fog/mist over the people behind the horses seems a tad out of place and intruding, as well as that the horses themselves wold look better with a hair texture (even if just a bump node of hair to add some detail) as they look bizarre when they are plastic-y like that.
