It's not just some dwarf?

[up]What's wrong with the image currently there, really?

[up]On the whole, I think the picture on The Blacksmith right now is perfectly okay to leave as-is. I can't see any case for changing it because the suggested images aren't a lot better than the current.

If anything, get rid of the All Blue Entry caption. that's way too many potholes.

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.

[up] I definitely agree with that. That caption should definitely be replaced.

The problem with the image on The Blacksmith is that it's Hephaestus, the same person suggested for Ultimate Blacksmith. Having the same character on two tropes that are supposed to be differing levels of skill could cause confusion. The Blacksmith should just show an ordinary blacksmith.

[up]But how many people would know that? Or care?

Mythology buffs?

Not to mention it wouldn't hurt to have another image if it's also a good one. Besides, the current image has pretty crummy lighting.

@32: They are not even drawn in the same style, so it can scarcely be inferred that they are in fact the same characters. But I suppose that the Skyrim suggestion is pretty good.

In any case, there seem to be an adequate consensus for the Hercules pic, so I've made the change, and tagged the image.

Without the caption on The Blacksmith, there's no way to know that that's Hephaestus, so I'm good to leave that one be.

Suggested caption: "If you're so great a blacksmith, forge me a lightning bolt... oh!"
