Poor Image: Horsemen Of The Apocalypse

The current technically works but this one◊ looks much more clear.

I support it - for me, stronger colours are a plus.

Whoohoo for my suggestion from Four Is Death.

Much more clinical, but the Four Horsemen from Shin Megami Tensei could work

I like this one more. Much more active.

I also support the suggestion in the OP.

I prefer the current. It's from a classic source and I do think the wiki could use more classic art.

Plus in the OP death's horse isn't particularly pale (or green).

Yeah, War and Conquest are fine in the suggestion, but Famine (I cannot see scales) and Death (weird horse color) don't illustrate perfectly.

I'm not sure which I prefer. The one in OP is good, but so's the current. It basically comes down to art style, and I must say I generally prefer classic works. They give more of a story where the trope comes from.

I like the current image. Suggestion looks like a heavy metal album cover. (Not that there's anything wrong with that! But not as good I don't think, too modern.)

Here's two cents: I prefer the current. Shows the Horsemen doing some good ol' Apocalypting with the masses. The suggested image in the first post looks very cool and all, but there's not that sense of power and dread. It's more "FUCKING METAL! lml" aka too much fun.

EDIT: Plus, the current has a rainbow. Do you think the OP image could look badass with rainbows in the backround? Hell no. That's the power of classics. Peace.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to switch to the current. Arguments are all valid.

Yes, the current is classic art. It's on Wikipedia.

Another vote to stay with the current, partly because it's good classic art and partly for the horse colors.

The suggested replacements are good and it was worth making the suggestion, but the current has the edge over the suggestions I think.

So 5 for the OP, 6 for the current.

It's close, and purely a style preference for me, but I like the current one a bit better.

The suggestion is a very cool piece of art, but it's four horses posing rather than doing actual apocalypting, as AnSTH said. In addition to the other arguments, this makes me happy keeping the current.

Also supporting the current over the other suggestions. Beside the already mentioned arguments in favor of it, I don't think any of the proposed replacements offer anything more. They aren't clearer (The OP's too busy to make out most stuff at wiki size, and the other one makes all horsemen look like grim reapers and thus less distinctive).

A few more votes for the current and we can stick with it.

Do add the OP to Images, at least.

+1 for the current; the rest can go on Image Links.

OK, in retrospection the current illustrates the horseman - bad thing connection better. That makes it enough votes that I've tagged the current and put the suggestions on Image Links.

Good deal. Locking up.
