Poll: Pratchett Episode Thumbnail
Added 2019-05-04 23:00:21 +0000 UTCHeyo, Foundry maintenance crew!
As we approach the first Pratchett video's release, we have a few final decisions to make. Most important of them all, what should we do for the video's thumbnail? I have two options for you:
#1: Sam Vimes + Dragon
Obviously I have an actual artistic rendering of the character in question and a separate rough storyboard cell sketch of the same character, just taleoid-ified. I like this option, because it captures the tone of Pratchett's work really nicely, and also kinda makes you go "What? Is that a dude holding a dragon like a boomstick?", which would be good for clicks.
It also ties into the content of the video really well, as I use three examples from the text of Guards! Guards! in the script.
#2: Hogfather
Again, a taleoid-ified storyboard rough. I like this one a lot too, as Death is easily Pratchett's most iconic character, and the reaper + santaclause crossover would have people wondering at a glance (and clicking). It's a bit seasonal however, which might throw people off (thinking this is Christmas video), so that's one major drawback for me.

Just looking for opinions before I commit to one! I think they're both great options, but I'd love to know what you guys think. I know Death will hold a special place for a lot of you, but also try to think of this from the perspective of someone who's never read Pratchett before, coming across this video for the first time.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
