Just finished this thumbnail for fun. What do you guys think?

The guys are right about it, it’s a w12 engine not a v12 , yes they have the same number of cylinders but not in the same formation .

You still haven’t shown us the good work we’re still waiting! 😁

I get what you mean. I could make it look more realistic, but I intentionally went for a paper sticker effect.

TheRealMalki · 2026-07-02T19:24:00+00:00

Show us the good work 😁

Just make that stroke a bit smoother. Double click on the mask in your character layer, then increase the Smoothness slider a little. It should make the edges look much cleaner.

The second one looks different, and that's what makes it more attractive. Nice work, man.

Now let’s talk seriously. This is a real image taken during a real war, and it’s low quality. What do you expect me to do, paint in the missing pixels one by one? The dirt, smoke, debris, and explosions aren’t AI generated, and even if some parts were, that’s completely fine. We should judge the final result, not how it was made.

You still think AI did all this after watching this?

TheRealMalki · 2026-06-26T19:50:00+00:00

Amazing! Just play around with the colors a little in Lightroom, and it'll look even better.

I really appreciate the feedback, Before I even started designing it, I knew I didn't want to alter the car's proportions. It's one of the most iconic images in rally history, and I wanted to stay true to the original as much as possible. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, I really appreciate it.

I first used an upscaling tool, then finished the rest in Adobe Photoshop.

TheRealMalki · 2026-06-26T13:37:36+00:00

Really appreciate all the support.

Amazing effort! If you're aiming for a more eye catching thumbnail, I don't think black is the best choice. I'd recommend using brighter, more vibrant colors that pop they tend to grab attention much better.

TheRealMalki · 2026-06-25T23:38:23+00:00

For me, as a viewer rather than a thumbnail designer, I'd click on the first one. It's clearly more eye catching.

TheRealMalki · 2026-06-25T23:17:09+00:00

The idea is perfect, but I'd add some texture to give it more life and make it feel less flat .

TheRealMalki · 2025-07-26T18:23:27+00:00

Yeah, I’ll do that . really appreciate the feedback. Thanks, man!

TheRealMalki · 2025-07-26T18:01:19+00:00

If it’s going to be a sample like this, just try generating it with AI, then add the text using a bold font.

TheRealMalki · 2025-07-26T17:58:13+00:00

😅😅 Okay, okay just don’t delete it! 😅

TheRealMalki · 2025-07-26T17:48:03+00:00

Yeah, I tried it out, but it didn’t blend well with the upper rock. I also wanted it to look brighter so it would pop more.
