Easily my favorite thumbnail that that I’ve made yet. I feel like it has so much detail, and each character portrays so much personality. It also is the thumbnail that I was able to spend the most time on, which might explain why it is so detailed. I’d love to create a thumbnail as intricate as this one again soon. I snuck a few easter eggs into this picture, so check for those if you want.

The thumbnail from the third episode of the podcast. The screen lighting effect was fun to make.

This was a thumbnail that I particularly enjoyed making, simply because it was fun to make lego versions of our characters. You might notice that my character (Anthony) is missing his shell. That’s because I frequently forget to draw it. That was not an intentional decision. Teddy is also missing his glasses. That was intentional, they were annoying to draw on his face. Because I only have a week to make these thumbnails, they usually come out with some pretty embarrassing mistakes. The inspiration for this thumbnail comes from the story Patrick told of a dream he had as a child where his backyard was filled with lava and his mom was a Lego person who died in said lava.

The very first thumbnail I ever drew for the channel. You can kinda see how the character designs have changed over time, like how Patrick’s eye was much bigger and how the strings on his hoodie used to have yellow tips. Teddy also used to have a more sinister look about him. I’m pretty happy with how the troll’s teeth turned out though.

Here’s the thumbnail for our very first podcast. I think it’s one of my favorite thumbnails that I’ve drawn for the channel. As you can probably tell by looking at all of the thumbnails, I really struggle with drawing the characters from different angles, so obviously, all the characters here are facing forward. I think the greenish blue color pallete used here looks really nice, and the characters are all drawn so closely together, so it made for the perfect profile picture too.
