Custom Minecraft Thumbnail Design

I need a standout Minecraft YouTube thumbnail built around my personal in-game skin. The look I’m after is strictly “Minecraftistic”—think the unmistakable blocky charm, bold colors, and energetic lighting that instantly screams Minecraft without slipping into a generic cartoon or hyper-real render.

Scope
• Create one high-resolution thumbnail (minimum 1280 × 720 px, 72 dpi) optimized for YouTube.
• Integrate my player skin as the main focal point, posed dynamically. I’ll supply the skin file as soon as we get started.
• Add a compelling background, eye-catching title text, and on-brand color grading so the image pops in both desktop and mobile previews.
• Provide the final image as a flattened PNG plus an editable layered source file (PSD or .blend with linked textures) so I can tweak text later if needed.
• Include up to two minor revision rounds to dial in any last-minute changes to pose, lighting, or text.

Tools & Approach
Feel free to use Blender, Mine-Imator, Cinema 4D, Photoshop, or other familiar tools—whichever helps you stage the skin, light the scene, and finish with polished graphic design.

What I’m looking for
Clean edges, crisp text placement, and lighting that amplifies depth while preserving the trademark voxel texture. If you already have a portfolio of Minecraft thumbnails, send a few links so I can see how you handle character renders and color contrast.

Once we agree on the direction, I’ll share my channel logo, reference screenshots, and any wording I’d like on the graphic.
