Primeval Currents Thumbnail

For about as long as I've been interested in graphic design, I have also been working on a YouTube channel where I showcase various accomplishments in some of the games that I play in my free time. Of course, these videos need a thumbnail, and I wanted to create something that both looked good and also had a unique style to it, one that was distinctly mine. For my videos on The Battle Cats, I've had a style where I recreate the backgrounds from the game by drawing them with a paintbrush tool in Photoshop, and then trace the characters with some other tools in order to end up with this very different style of thumbnail. To add onto the fact that these were my thumbnails, I made the aesthetic choice to not add any of the character's eyes.
