I can’t tell if it’s “Drop” or “Prop”, and the quality is low. Did you make this in studio?

It is “drop in” and yes it was made in studio. Should i try blender?

I would recommend to make it blend a bit better, to add some blur. Right now, it feels somewhat disjointed. As if they are different shapes kind of stickered on each other.
I believe this is because of the outline geometry.
also, I would recommend that you add some more lighting into the environment. right now the lighting is the same everywhere, and its dark.
And to reinforce what was said before, make the text more clear. Think of how small the actual icon would be on a screen.
The last thing I would recommend, is to re try the pose, to seem more natural.
(for instance, the knees would be bending, feet on the board)
If these things are addressed, I think this would make a super cool poster.
Hope you find this helpful

While it does give small information you should add more characters skating if that’s what the game is about, perhaps place him in a skate park, which would give an overall appearance on what you’re going for. Add more characters, maybe 4 - 3 to make the icon look more interesting that would grasp players’ intention.
Right now, the icon doesn’t really show what the game is about. While it is related to skating, add more people, that should be included if that’s what you’re trying to achieve out of this, otherwise maybe placing some lighting - people walking around would add a nice touch. Experiment instill you get something you like!

I wouldn’t click on this for multiple reasons. And first off I just want to say that its not bad for your 3rd icon but there are some things that could have been done better:
-
The quality is low. It looks like you made a scene in Roblox Studio and took a screenshot on low graphics quality. This is probably the worst thing you could do to make GFXs. I would recommend trying Blender. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube to get you started
-
The font makes it seem like it says “Prop in.” I would change the font
-
The colors don’t pop. Many top GFX artists nowadays use brighter colors because they pop (stand out) and brighter, more vibrant colors appeal to a younger audience which Roblox is mostly made up of. I understand this game seems to be about skateboarding and not something like a simulator but I think a little more color would help.

The composition could be better. When I am on roblox, the icons I see all have a common theme. They have a center of attention which is clear. And your icon has that but it isn’t very clear. To fix this, I would move the camera angle closer to the middle of the icon so people can better see the character. Also, a small tip for you is to make a subtle vignette effect around the entire icon. It is usually unnoticeable but people will subconsciously direct their eyes to the center of the icon if you have this effect which always helps composition
Those are the four main things you should fix / try to improve on
And once again, this is pretty good for your 3rd icon

You should try re-doing it in blender.

The icon doesn’t look good.
It looks like you just took the back-round, and then inserted a character, then a logo. I’m not calling you lazy, but this doesn’t look great.

May just be me but when games have lower quality game icons and thumbnails (in no offense to you or anyone else), I tend to find those games interesting, so I would click it, although it might not be the same for everyone.
