Holy cow this is a lot of information, I’ll keep this in mind when redoing it, probably redo the background enviroment and really fix that low res logo
Explinations for why things are
green borders = green screen
snow is yoinked from google images (yikes it turned out bad)
Logo was made in microsoft paint on a school laptop (yikes again)
I could not think of a pose for the character, I’ll definetly use your feedback on it
Some people have zero experience with blender, and telling someone to “do it in blender” and provide no tips, tutorials, or starting pointers is like giving someone a Lego set with zero instructions and telling them to make a millennium falcon. It’s just really unnecessary.
Maybe try replacing the exclamation marks with the character doing something that represents them, for example them having their hands up in the air, or possibly a different face.
If you can install things on the school laptop or have a computer at home, download paint.net which is very similar to MS Paint but with much more flexibility and the ability to install plugins. I use a few plugins myself, like a drop shadow plugin which is really handy to help add some depth and separation of objects in an image. Drop Shadow Plugin
It’s pretty similar to the MS paint interface but with stuff moved around, you should get used to it pretty easily.
It’s not bad!, i’m a beginner myself, but I prefer blender and you should too, you can easily learn the basics of how to render your avatar from Roblox to blender here: render roblox avatar to blender
and with an amazing combo with photoshop you can make an impressive thumbnail!.
sign to be more matching with the background. Perhaps an orange feeling since the color palette of the background is orange-yellow like! Perhaps add some effects like a drop shadow on the person, give it the same lighting that the background has, and change the snow texture!
I made it on a school laptop because I was bored and on the laptops you cant really download 3rd party software because of whatever safety stuff they put on, but ill use paint.net on my pc at home
I’m not sure what devforum you’re posting on, but this one isn’t a place where you just criticize and make fun of someone’s work, especially if they’re new. Go touch some grass.
KEYWORD: BEGINNER. DO NOT DISCOURAGE.
The way you presented your comment was quite honestly demotivating. You used words that felt like bullets, with your comment being the gun.
If I was sent that comment, I’d be demoralized to continue. You can try to apologize for harsh feedback, but it looks like you went absolutely merciless on a beginner. Solution:
Show your feedback in a more friendly/presentable way. I can see that you were pointing out the issues, but that was easily mistaken as making fun of a person. Prevent future arguments by changing your wording. That’s all I have to say. Nobody wants a seemingly angry person harshly commenting on their work.
@InPhulze, you were being pretty rude there. When you said “Pretty bad.” it was pretty harsh, that’s not one way you can give feedback. You also mentioned it saying “looks awful” that also isn’t a way to give feedback.
If I were being honest, I’d give it a 8/10. He’s pretty good for a beginner, and I was no where near his level when I started making thumbnails.
