Just mentioning, this is the main reason that the most of 50% of my thumbnails are redrawing.

Not saying you can't take that approach, but unless you're already very good at drawing (or just trace), it may be difficult to capture the style of the original movie. Not saying you aren't bad, but I think you might've gotten lucky with NeroGeist.


I also drew my own thumbnails occasionally. Some examples


Or alternatively:


- CS

- she/her (and they maybe)🏳️‍⚧️

- My voice sucks, twice as much as usual

No doubt, im Very good at redrawing, about tracing, the results are good too, Also i use the original image colors.


Note: i made nerogeist thumbnails by computer and mobile(which explains some little difference of line Art)

More thumbnails done! this time i finally used "screengrab", the resolution?

the screengrab is ok, in quality-wise, but the resolution i don't know if is 900x1000 or "1920x1080(problably, not)"

and....about the "(2005) klay sports" movie, i used a filter that "optimizes" the blurred quality of the original image

also with full screen mode.


-anyway, both of these has a good quality

It was explained to me that we do a full screen, screen capture to generally maintain the soul of the creation/art/style that the original creator made when they originally submitted their content to newgrounds


Not a dunk on your abilities or anything buuuuuuuuuut... A trace or a drawing unless it absolutely needs to be done is even a little bit stepping away from the original creation


Though with some of the things I have seen in the early 2000's a trace or a re-draw would have given more life to the animation then the content provided. There are only so many ways you can screen cap a bouncing ball lol

we are up to 2003 now!


Now the progress is slowing down, back in 2000-2002 It was the norm for there to be 100-150 thumbnails to be created per month, I just did the count for January 2003, and that number has risen to 390 items that need creating


oof

more thumbnails of today, those are from 2009 - 2011 movies

the "Mr.woofykins" was so blurry that i had to redraw it, not even the optimized filter didn't helped.

@NK2007 also inspired me to recreate the original thumbnail for this funymony movie, which didn't have this shot in color or with sunbeans behind that pose:

Finally, after 1 day and half i finished working on..........uh, nothing new

just "5 thumbnails", technically 90% of thumbnails are screengrab, and only two

of them are upscaled on editor to have 1920x1080 quality("DragonGem" is a clear example)

One Question, how i should make a thumbnail for movies that doesn't have a thumbnail(default NG tank image)?

i know the objective is to make a thumbnail for movies that has blurry, or low quality thumbnail.

but what about the movies that doesn't have a thumbnail?

You make a thumbnail the same way as you do for the other submissions, but for those you get to decide what it looks like 🙂

Awesome! TomaMoto collaborated with lots of artists so getting those done will improve a lot of other peoples' galleries, too.


I made good progress on @funymony last week but haven't gotten through his earliest movies yet.
