How Can I Improve My Thumbnail

I am making a thumbnail for my four way capture the flag. I think it looks good but needs improvement. What can I do?

Use the sprite sheets of the Gims
Maybe use plastic tiles using the terrain clipboard.
AND RESIZE IT TO THE CORRECT SHAPE

Give them facial expressions. Also actually make a gim, instead of just pasting them on(or just do that lolol)

I think it looks really simple, and needs some improvements.
Here’s a helpful guide:

Why are you spamming your keyboard?
Try uh… hand-drawing it. It just looks better, even if it’s scribbled or something.

Just wanna add to this:
If your photoshopping, make it realistic as possible, use eyes the sprite sheets give you, AND DONT ADD MOUTHS.

The length and height of the thumbnail…
It should be like a youtube thumbnail kind of size.

:frowning:
it feels so wrong doing this but:

  1. Title?
  2. Facial Expressions
  3. Movement (It appears your using them as they stand on the store page, go to the
    Miraheze Gimkit Wiki - Gims if you need more! )
  4. Try your hand at drawing! it could be really helpful!
  5. Artist name?
  6. Author(s) of Game?
  7. Resizing the Flags if you still want to photoshop

Idk, maybe I would try to recreate this or something.
Don’t wanna turn this into some thumbnail request-
@Mualani_Star Doubt the miraheeze gimkit wiki is unblocked for @Skizzle if he is using school device.

Here are the spritesheets if you want them!

Purple Split

Green Split

Red Split

Well I don’t know if its just me, but I feel like the flags are more “pixiley” compared to everything else. I would also try to add/photoshop expressions in (even just eyes brows). I’m guessing you tried to remove the bottom thingy on the red flag, but there is still some…bits (if that what you call them) left and it’s driving me CRAZY (see pic below)

The bits I'm referring to

Yeah I’m working on expressions now (kinda failing) and I do want to improve the flags, they are just driving me insane so I’m gonna wait a bit

Ok, extra thing: Use TRUE gims that actually exist.

sharpen the images, add shadows, add bloom, fix the frame, the flags not big enough- (fix it to the ideal height of the real flag in Gimkit.)

all the images are blocked on the website so it wont be much help to me
