Hey Soo...I'm a little stumped about my iron Coyote not getting none to much downloads or just attention and I just don't know what to do..it just it makes me wanna stop building because what's the propose to just let it sit there in the website and get nothing from it?
Anyways this is just something kinda like an advertisement to just check my build out..please?
The goal when making a thumbnail is to both make your build look cool, but most importantly, make your build stand out.
Making your thumbnail a dark coloured vehicle on a dark coloured background with very few details on your build easily visible is probably the easiest way of sabotaging getting any attention on your build.
If you want to make your build a dark colour, use day time lighting and backgrounds to make it stand out. Position your camera when taking screenshots so that small details are easily visible and stand out even when on a small thumbnail. Make the background a complimentary colour to the vehicle to help draw they eye to your build. And make your build fill the thumbnail. Also text doesn't necessarily draw attention and can actually do the opposite and make the build look tacky.
That’s just the way things are on this site, I’m afraid.
You keep on going until eventually you get enough of a following to give something some momentum after upload. Even then, there’s a lot of luck involved.
@KatBapa20 But I must say no matter how good my photography is my phone makes pixels 2x bigger for some reason so I'm having to go into a painting app and smooth them out
@KatBapa20 Thanks dude
I can see why you're upset for not getting downloads or upvotes like you've expected, especially when you've had worked hard just to get a little of downloads.

I might not be good at explaining details properly as i explained about it in my profile but, the most possible reason of why you're not often getting downloads or upvotes is likely because of your thumbnails. Yes, thumbnails are the most fundamental part to catch its viewers' eyes, but the issue is that no matter how good your thumbnails are (which not gonna lie, i liked them :D), it's not really that eye-catching by viewers so, perhaps i advice you to either practice your photographing skill or better yet, take some inspirations from other builders' thumbnails so, you may get a better idea of how to create pretty thumbnails ya see.
.
In my other words, while i understand why you don't feel motivated at keeping to build crafts, you don't have to become famous just to hang them out you know?
By the way, you can also ask some questions on here if you wanna look for some answers from here, while also ignoring not-so-helpful replies.

For now, i got nothing to say unfortunately however, i hope you got my point and have a good day👍
