Wasn’t really happy with the thumbnails I had from last week as I thought they were quite boring. They felt like a thumbnail for the sake of having thumbnails, which wasn’t what the brief needed. So I made some more thumbnails.

I also tried making my thumbnails have more detail, such as texture so it just looks better. Elevate it. Render it. etc

This was my first attempts and frankly they weren’t that good.

These were slightly better. Even though I wanted to use broad texture brushes to quickly put the idea down, I also quite liked mark making with just strokes.

I also started leaning into this large ancient bone structure embedded in the landscape that I thought was cool.
