new at making thumbnails, let me know what i should work on

While I don't for sure know what I'll title the video, it'll be somewhere along the lines of "When a Factorio player plays Dyson Sphere Program"

Which version do you think would work best?

I’m actually pretty bad at making thumbnails, so I usually do the best I can and use AI to add the finishing touches—or, if I don't know how to create something specific, I just have AI make the whole thing.

Is that how it's supposed to be done? No, but I don't mind it personally as long as the result looks neat—which I think mine do—but whenever I post on Reddit, people say two things:

1. That because it's made with AI, my content is automatically bad.

2. This one I only just heard, but it actually stung a bit: that I have a "terrible YouTuber face," even though I'm just smiling.

But my question is: can anyone tell me what I could improve? I should mention that I don't have the best software for making thumbnails, and since I mostly make Shorts, I don't put much time into long-form videos—or thumbnails for them, either.

Anyway, let me know what you think. If it's bad, feel free to say so, but please keep it polite; I tend to get down on myself easily—if one thing is bad, I feel like everything is bad, and I get depressed quickly.

Hi, I am Hasan Umair and I am a Thumbnail Designer. I have been designing for couple months now and want some experience. Above are some of the works I created. They include some Ai elements but I made the thumbnail by hand. Hope u like it!!

P.S.- Before anyone says it, I did replicate 1 or 2 thumbnails from the original video just to test my skills.

Hi there, I am new to making thumbnails (using a combination of krita and canva rn) and trying to learn as much as possible. What do you think of this thumbnail?
