[@anthonybeltran6849]

Great now I can use this for other games 😃

[@TheCrispyChip]

this would be cool if this was how he made thumbnails but he definitely has someone do renders and its very easy to see. I'm not sure the purpose of this video if you dont actually use this technique.

[@stop873]

He said multiple times that these were entry level thumbnails. And he has used this technique multiple times

[@TheCrispyChip]

@@stop873 the only times he uses this technique is when his editor isn't around and I guarantee that this isn't even the exact method he uses for that haha

The title thing is fair, but also thinking of it as a starter TH-camr, you’d probably do better to make more descriptive titles and searchable titles as you’re not exposed yet. Just my thought?
