All Colored Thumbnails!!!

Here's the template with all my colored thumbnails that were fixed and so forth. The first and forth thumbnails I made more color just because it looked too saturated, 

but I will have to change it back just because it might be too intense with these new colors. 

I must say that the third thumbnail is my favorite although it still needs some 

work and was a different camera angle that I tried out. I like the color 

choice, but I have to find another color, like a tan, to add

some variety. 

As for the second thumbnail, I like it too, and it looks better compared 

to the first drawing of it. I have no idea why I like the fireflies so much...

The forth thumbnail the sand was the difficult part. Even after looking at reference, 

it still didn't help as much, but I did enjoy drawing the cactus plants.

Colored Thumbnails

This thumbnail has an ocean or tropical inspiration to it. I decided on the color

because I wanted to go for an algae type of look. 

Although the water is what was most challenging. 

This is a desert inspired thumbnail. It was a little confusing on

what to texture for the sand, but I do like the cactus plants. The road I also think

is not in the right perspective, but it's getting there. 

Thumbnails Color Ver 2

I tried positioning the city more off towards the left and adding more fire. 

Changed this thumbnail by moving the tree and trying to make more realistic 

branches. I also moved the moon and bats, while also scattering the birds around on the tree. 

Another addition was the lagoon type water. 

Thumbnails Color

Redone and colored thumbnail. I tried fixing the buildings and making 

the objects look more round rather than flat. I also added a waterfall and people!

I did find the overlay and lighten layers were a little confusing, but I started 

getting used to it after a while.

This is the second redone thumbnail and chose the blue and yellow 

colors because I felt that it gave off more of a eerie feeling. I also 

changed the birds into bats in the distance and tried to create more 

of a round tree than it had looked before. 

The trees that make up the forest is what I found most challenging 

because I wanted to add more trees while also being able to 

add light and shadow to them. 

Digital Sketch Objects

These are some sketched objects redone digitally.

I like the ring the most, but the bear was a little confusing.

Best Thumbnail Briefs

This was the favorite out of the Brief 1 thumbnails. I added windows, fog, smoke, and ships in the sky. I also tried shading and lightening, but it sometimes blended together with other surroundings. 

This thumbnail is from Brief 2. I decided to go with one of the trees with no leaves since they had looked the most spooky. I tried to place light and shadow with the moon's light in mind. I had also added more twigs to the branches to feel more realistic. 

Thumbnail Briefs

Brief 1:

Huge, Angular, Futuristic, War-Torn, Buildings

I really liked drawing these thumbnails, and tried testing out different brushes to draw different structures. Although, making these futuristic was a little hard to do, because I kept thinking of buildings I see everyday. 

Brief 2:

Large, Wide, Ancient, Spooky, Tree in a Forest

So many trees. The trees for the forest was actually my biggest challenge because I didn't want each thumbnail to look like the other. 

Also, I found it hard to make the thumbnails spooky if I used lighter colors. On a good note, I really like the leafless trees.
