Poor Image: Skull For A Head

Much like the old pic for Obviously Evil, the current pic of Skeletor on Skull for a Head has some quality issues. There were several good suggestions in the ObviouslyEvil IP thread; I'm not where I can look at a lot of them right now, but the chest-up shot from the new He-Man cartoon is one of my favorites that I can remember.

All the other Skeletor pics in that crowner are better quality than this one.

Agreed.

So, piccies like these: [1]◊, [2]◊, [3]◊, [4]◊, [5]◊.

I didn't pick those where the head was too small, where the picture quality was lower, and one that was too similar to the Obviously Evil one.

I personally like the first and third ones. The first one is a little meaner looking, and the third shows more of the skull, and not just the face.

I like the third and fourth best.

I like the third one best; there's no sword to take focus off the head, which is clearly the focus along with his blue body.

Any non-Skeletor suggestions?

Scorpion◊, Ghost Rider◊, Red Skull◊

Scorpion in Mortal Kombat 9◊

Deviantart Scorpion image that would look great cropped (Needs artist permission)◊

I like Ghost Rider there a lot.

Just tossing these out there. Marvel hero Blazing Skull.◊ Blazing Skull cooking a marshmallow.

4.1 is my overall favorite of everything so far. Here's◊ a better Ghost Rider pic.

I like showing that the rest of the body is not skeletal (tho Ghost Rider is a bare skeleton under the leather IIRC), because that is part of the trope. The full-body one with the floating chain (8.2) looks cooler I think. Also the Red Skull image shows the "not literally a skull, but looks like one" variant.

I don't like Ghost Rider or Blazing Skull for this reason: Flaming Skulls

You know, when I was posting that last night, I was thinking we had a trope for that...thanks for the find. So, back to Skeletor...4.1 still works best for me. We could possibly pair it with a shot of Red Skull to get the literal and variant versions in one shot.

The guy roasting a marshmallow on his own head needs to go in the Flaming Skulls Image Links. It's too funny not to link it.

Bump...are we ready for a crowner?

Yep.

I made one. Ugh, why isn't making a crowner just a tool in the tool menu?

Maybe this is the right url: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner.php/ImagePickin/SkullForAHead

Crowner's hooked.

Bump for votes, we've got a tight race so far.

One more bump, the leaders are practically neck and neck.

Not particularly close now.

This one's more than ready to call. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged; caption or no? I was thinking something along the lines of "Fools! I don't need a tongue to monologue!" but that's weak.

"When skin moisturizing goes Horribly Wrong." ?

Love it!
