Just a Face and a Caption: All Myths Are True

The characters are by the sword in the stone.

It doesn't show that all myths are true.

It puts its weight on the caption explaining why it's an example.

It also reveals that the female in the pic used to be a Goddess, but one can't tell just by looking at the picture.

Previous thread; it clocked out. I'm fine with pulling the pic.

If we could get a scene where a bunch of easily-recognizable mythological figures from differing parts of the world are doing some sort of activity together (like, say, an image of a Hero/Villain Convention) that'd be great. (Provided we could find one that made it clear this is distinct from Crossover Cosmology.)

Crossover Cosmology focuses on gods and deities, so we just need to find something that... doesn't. I think the bigger problem would be distinguishing it from Fantasy Kitchen Sink.

The two things that come to mind are of something from Hellboy - Hellboy, Perun, and Vasilisa versus Baba Yaga and Koschei the Deathless, in Darkness Falls I think, might have something good. Alternatively, a secret government warehouse of public-domain legendary artifacts.

Maybe something from Fables.

Ooh, that's a good idea.

That would make a very effective image source, I totally forgot it existed until just now.

Quite a few here. Though they're most likely copyrighted.

Favorite of those is probably this one. But this one may be the most illustrative.

I like that one but I'm afraid it may not resize well - it's somewhat difficult to identify particular characters already.

I've gone through the rest of the gallery a bit, but it's slow going... it did occur to me that we could assemble a collage of the recognisable characters.

Another possible source: No Rest For The Wicked. (I also thought of Gretel And Hansel, but after a quick check I decided there aren't really any good pictures of multiple fairy tales all at once.)

8.4 is a cover and therefore fine to use; here's a version at 300◊. 8.3 is my favourite too, though.

Sure.

But it is already the page image for Fable.

It shouldn't be a problem to find a new pic for Fables; work pages are a lot easier to get pics for than trope pages, generally.

8.3 for the Fables page then?

I'd be fine with that, as long as it looks good at wiki size.

Clock is set.

Reclocked this one. How about this◊ for the Fables page and that one's current pic for All Myths Are True? I resized 8.3, and at wiki size too many of the smaller characters are too indistinct.

I'm not sure. It's a little small for what it's supposed to portray. Though I actually like the one you suggested for Fables on All Myths Are True, although it might just be too subtle, or not look good small.

Works.

Here's that cover at 350.

That's good.

I like.

One may need to know the myths first before he realizes they are from folklore.

It does imply that there's fantasy beings in our world, though.

I don't get it.

Bump; any other thoughts?

They don't seem to shrink down that well, plus 19.1 has a lot of text covering stuff and it looks like someone's arm is being cut off.
