Red Dead Revolver - TGTW Thumbnail
Red Dead Revolver is a solid Rockstar game that had a troublesome development cycle. Originally started as a SWAT title, it was turned into a Spaghetti Western adventure which was originally going to be published by Capcom. This here's the thumbnail for my next video focusing on the game & it's leaked Capcom version dumped on the Internet.
The final Thumbnail. I have given the whole thing in a Red tone, which the main color is taken from the beta's title screen. Also made the logo distinct because why not?
(FEB. 2021) I can make good work on girls, but when it comes to men, it shows that I'm not good on this. This looks a bit too Simpsons like IMO.
(FEB. 2021) The second idea is to simplify, but this looked a bit too cartoonish. Hell, the lineart isn't great, either.
...Then again, the second design was planned to be on there, but scrapped it to have a better design. BTW, the white RDR didn't came in until the 3rd design.
So I redesigned him again on May. The problem here is that the image size is too small...
...So I simply upscaled to double it's size using Waifu2X. However, the thumbnail shows that I added something else.
Of course: Some shading. I only used two layers, one is quite smudgy sue to the Median filter I used to give it some texture or something.
