Hey Paumé! Apologies for suddenly dropping into your inbox haha, I was going to DM you but found the inbox easier for images, you can answer this ask privately or dm afterwards
I was happy seeing 'Braze You!!!' released and now very excited for Bring It On ayyyy! But it made me think about that Mahiru thumbnail I did for you last year, since I have free time
I decided to tweak/add some things for fun, and then to ask if you would like it. Of course if you're happy with the original one I sent you then that's all good! These are just suggestions.
I wondered how it would look with the Title in the Thumbnail, so I tried to copy the style from the MV with the glitch effect except that its blue and orange
I also tried adding some highlights to contrast the flatness and create unity with the Title. Was thinking about the shine in her eyes at the beginning of her MV. And I played around with the eye shape. But I'm not sure if the highlights are fitting or which eyes are better. I like them but I recognise they give a different vibe.
Then there's these versions with a small blush since Mahiru blushes in TIHTBILWY. And the second has a small smile. This was me just trying out anything hahaha, I think the blush is neat but it works fine without it.
That's all, just some random ideas I had while relooking at it. Completely get if you're happy with what you got though, I just wanted to revisit it! If you have any notes I'd love to hear them!
I hope you and everyone else at 12Below has an amazing week! Keep up the great work!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I'm very sorry it's taken me a hot minute to get back to you (I've had many submissions and life events happen at once) Honestly, the last one is the perfect vibe. I love the blush and the small smile feels very daydream Mappi. The only thing I could think of is that a gradient background to break the flats a little bit more, but it's honestly fantastic as is. We all are very happy and honored to work with you and we're being very productive! >:D We hope you have a wonderful week as well!
