Duplicate Image: Left Handed Mirror

I have a single major issue with the current image, and that is that while one of the two people in the picture is shown to be right-handed, holding a staff with her right arm, the other character isn't holding anything in either hand, with his equivalent staff on the ground near him.

I think we can do better. At the very least, we can have an image where the opposing-handedness of the characters is shown.

In fact, I think I have a good potential replacement, from Tales Of The Abyss. I believe this is official arwork, rather than fanart. I found the image on a Youtube video. A reverse Google Image search (using a screenshot of the image to search-by-image) turned up nothing suggesting it is fan-art. Rather, I got a bunch of tumblr posts and image galleries that had the image exactly as it is, so I can only assume that it is official artwork.

The current LeftHandedMirror image◊ might work better visually on Polar Opposite Twins than the one that's there now.◊

It's also on Child Mage.

It works best on Child Mage. That's really the only one it clearly illustrates. The Polar Opposite Twins image does illustrate a gentle and a not-so-gentle twin.

Suggestion works, though I'm not hyped about it.

Suggestion's okay. Just okay.

Other suggestions are welcome.

From the same example: http://imgur.com/GUiL9we ?

I like the idea of Luke and Asch since their costumes and poses reflect their differences as well as their handedness.

I prefer the one I posted above to that one, mostly because their similarity is emphasized in their near-identical poses, and it focuses on their sword-arms.

The fact that their poses are near-identical also draws attention to the differences between them, which is also useful.

I'm ok with the OP.

Bumping for further opinions, and other potential suggestions.

The responses to the suggestion have been somewhat positive, but lukewarm. I'm guessing this isn't yet enough consensus to make a change yet, so I really would like to see some more feedback.

Maybe changing it form "Does Not Illustrate" to "Duplicate Image" (with Child Mage) would help?

Done.

Oh, thanks. Didn't know we'd changed Child Mage, so thanks.

Can we at least agree that we should pull the image, now that it's a duplicate?

Doesn't illustrate anything anyway. I am fine with this pull.

So, is there any other consensus? Is it safe for me to put up the new picture, or do we need to put it to a vote?

This duplicate need to be pulled, that's for sure.

Pulled it.

Would there be any objections to me putting up the suggestion in the OP?

Go ahead.

Added and tagged. Should it have a caption?

It couldn't hurt.

I can't think of a clever one...

Perhaps some sort of pun on "A sinister double?"
