Poor Image: Battle In The Center Of The Mind

As is, health bars cover up a good portion of the image, which isn't in a great resolution to begin with. Considering how many examples there are, there has to be something better. I think something from Bleach or Kingdom Hearts would fit more. As it is I have no idea what's going on.

I can't tell what's going on either. +1 to pull.

I'd think we were in Jabu Jabu's belly if I didn't know any better. This is about being in the mind, not someplace physical. I don't have a suggestion currently, but I may if I think on it. Pull.

Yeah, I have no idea what I'm seeing there either. Pull it.

Uhh yeah, pull.

From the picture I'd guess it's about a Womb Level. Not the same thing, and as such misleading.

Pluck.

Ugh, that's bad. Pull.

1, 2, 3, 4...7, and now 8 including me.

Yanked.

Any suggestions for replacement, or should this be closed?

I would say that most of the in universe examples wouldn't be properly clear, and for the time being the page can go image-less unless someone finds something effectively illustrating, or at least indicative.

I agree, the way these are portrayed it's impossible to present in an image, they tend to look like The Matrix and such.

About all I can think of is some examples of people outside the mind watching a person suffering as they are fighting in the mind. I will try and look around but those things might make a better quote.

I'm at work right now so that search will have to wait a few hours.

Yeah, I tried to find quality images of my own suggestions, but to no avail. They were either in poor quality, too vague to understand it's taking place in someone's mind, or both. Might be best to close it for now until someone has a suggestion.

Not too confident in this one, but I thought I'd at least toss the idea out there: 1◊

That again looks more like a Womb Level than what this stereotypically looks like as this is the battle of the mind not the brain. The battles typically are done in memories or a completely white plane.

This is all I got.

The start of the fight [1]◊

Them talking about the battle on the outside while the kid is out cold [2]◊[3]◊[4]◊three days later.◊

What it looks like on the inside.[5]◊[6]◊

It's worth noting that the character is fighting a monstrous version of herself, which also helps to indicate what's going on. Mind = Brain is the best way I could think of to illustrate the rest—in one frame, that is. This trope probably would be best illustrated with two shots—one of the outside and one of the inside.

So then like this?

I think that's the best we've got, but is there any way to remove the black bars?

Yeah, one sec. For some reason the show made the choice to have any scene in his mind 16:9 or so with the bars. Style choice or to save money /shrug.

Ok my attempts at cropping and resizing and a 3 panel idea that adds a bit. They probably need to be shrunk though but that can be done later. The original shots [1]◊[2]◊[3]◊

Don't think the middle part adds more context than it adds to its size.

18.1 has my support. We always strive for conciseness. An extra shot of the same thing does not add anything of value.

18.1 works well enough.

Ok that nixes that idea.

Should we roll with it or give it more time for a better idea?

Sorry for bumping this old topic, but I've got an image suggestion for this page. The source is Samurai Deeper Kyo (in case someone wants to have a better stab at editing it and search for a scanlation, it's at chapter 78, page 10):

I think the right panel works on its own.

That's not bad...not sure if I prefer it over the Negima pic, but it's a contender.
