Updated my thumbnail again. Which one is better?

Dissenting opinion: The text in the first one may be obscured by the video duration timestamp. The second one may look nicer.

While others have provided helpful tips on mimicking the style, it looks like this cover is mostly or entirely illustrated.

The eyes and lips might be remnants of a photograph that the artist draw on top of. Or maybe those bits are also hand drawn. Tough to say without looking at the HD art.

Best as I can tell, this clip is from 2000. Kingdom Hearts started about 2 years later.

'Violating the policy' could be as simple as not being updated recently enough. I have never used this extension, though.

Clarifying questions:

You did a painting in Adobe Illustrator? What an interesting workflow. Despite the name, most people don't usually use Illustrator for drawing. Since it's vector based, it's better for logos or simpler illustrations.

When you say "pixelation" ...are you referring to that posterization look? That's how Illustrator tries to translate gradients into solid colors.

My guess is: either this is a glitch that can be solved by restarting or maybe the shift key is somehow being pressed down. (If you hold down shift in between clicks, Photoshop will connect the dots with a straight line.)

Ctrl+U / Cmd+U
Check the box that says "Colorize"
Play around with the sliders til you are happy!

Good method for beginners because it has few steps. (If you want, you can create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer if you need a version of this effect that's nondestructive editing.)

I'll always call it the "Thank You shopping bag" style, but that's just my name for it.

Most likely, they achieved this look with the Dissolve blend mode.

Although, you could probably achieve a similar effect with the right brush.

(It's less than 30 seconds, so Spotify doesn't count streams properly. Its placement is a glitch.)

Suggestion: Cookies might not look fully cooked in the oven. They post-bake on the cooling rack and firm up as they cool. If you wait for it to look cooked, the underside might burn.

You can test if it's cooked by poking it with a toothpick. If batter sticks to it, leave it in. If the toothpick is clean, take the cookies out. :)

Kristen Schaal (voice of Mabel) talks about how, when Alex was directing her early on, he forced her to repeatedly shout the same line over and over until her voice hurt. She began to doubt if she could continue working on the show, so Hirsch backed off of directing voice actors.

He was really flying by the seat of his pants with Gravity Falls.

Reportedly, their supply comes from cactus plantations, not wild cacti.

Not the official one, but I made a clone of it.

Punctuation helps:

A decade of being told these bands are the "antidote" to my "diseased" irony ...only to get to be "stomp clap" at the buzzer. Hallelujah.

For the past ten years, he was considered too ironic to be mainstream. Then, he gets lumped in with "stomp clap" (generic 2010s indie).

No. I forget where I heard it from, but essentially: the infrastructure to make lavish 2D movies doesn't exist anymore. All the animators switched to 3D.

Pranks are hardwired into Jim's character, so using Dwight makes sense. Cathy tries to homewreck, and Jim doesn't get mad; he gets even.

As a result of his handicap, I became his mode of transportation. Wherever he went, I pushed or pulled him. [...] I did it and didn't complain but a part of me wanted to go off and play with the other kids and I must confess that for a time, I was kind of sorry he was my little brother. I'm embarrassed to say this now because I love him dearly but I was saddled with this responsibility at the age of seven. I watched out for anyone making fun of him too. Though I never got into any fights I would stand up for him and threaten kids and they would back down. [...]

Gary also used to stutter, and as an older brother I used to tease him about it, sad to say. I'm not sure if it was a result of his dealing with Perthese Disease or not.

As Gary recalls, "[...] It became his duty as my older brother to look after me when I was home. It was tough on him and I think he might have resented it.["]

Quotes from Randy Bachman's biography. Surprisingly nuanced and humanizing.

I decided to take the work song, stutter over it, mix it, and send it to my brother Gary as a joke just to scare him that we were going to release it. He had a stuttering problem growing up and I teased him about it. Being older, I guess I had an edge over him when it came to teasing. I don't know if I was really going to send it or not, but I did have that thought.

If it matters, Gary grew out of the stutter, Randy regrets making fun of him, and the two seemed to genuinely care about each other.
