Making Youtube Thumbnails is hard.

Because of datamining, I have more stuff to share so I've begun using my youtube more.

@blademaiden

I post random gameplay clips from the game or Otherwordly Venture but also things I find in the game files. I've managed to pull a lot including music, vocals and voice lines.

I've posted the vocals only version of the two theme songs but there's still more!

After much thought, I decided to verify my Youtube to get access to custom thumbnails but making them is really hard.

I finished my 'Yoshiro in trouble' vocal compilation and wanted to make a thumbnail.

Here's what I attempted:

the very first...

graphic design is my passion

It's...not working. Frustrated, I asked ChatGPT how can I improve this? It's a mess.

You are so diplomatic lol.

This looks much better but it's a whole different image! And that's AI Yoshiro!!

She's lovely but Yoshiro's face is a little different to that. Alas, I am a sucker for beauty...

(I want to use this one...)

She's so pretty here.

I'm gonna use Youtube's A/B testing where it shows different thumbnail you select to check which is better.

But it's also unfair because ChatGPT's is obviously clearer and more neater than mine so its designs will win. But I'll do it anyway.

I did more edits, one being this:

when will the suffering end?

Gah. You do not want to see the other one I tried making. God help my soul.
(I simply have no eye for such things...)

I asked it make a Yoshiro vocalizations thumbnail for me to look at it.

Don't really like them...

Anyway. my youtube is just a supplement to this blog so I won't get too finicky about it.

I am going to try and make my own still. Maybe I should restart and try and use the aesthetic I used on the 'vocal' thumbnails?
