Does Not Illustrate: Hunter Of His Own Kind

Is anyone besides me having difficulty really seeing the trope in the current? Judging by the caption, I'd guess it's a Hunter of Monsters who hunts other Hunter of Monsters, but it just looks like a random bow-wielder to me.

Perhaps Blade vs Dracula would work better? At least both characters have vampire teeth in that one.

Yeah, I can't tell clearly what's going on in the current. The suggestion isn't bad, but I'd like to see it at wiki size before giving it a firm [tup].

Here's a first attempt at a crop:

Doesn't seem too bad.

They don't seem very similar in looks which weakens the message.

That turned out pretty good...I'm good with it pending other ideas.

Didn't notice his vampire fangs until they were pointed out, to be honest, so he just looked like a normal Vampire Hunter (whose page image, incidentally, is also Blade/Dracula). Last three panels?

[up]Me neither, and even then, it doesn't really show that one of them specifically hunts fellow vampires, rather than just depicting "two vampires fighting".

I'd also prefer a picture that didn't fall under Vampire Refugee (which already has a fairly good pic).

It's also not clear that one is hunting the other.

Honestly I think only 11 works, but considering that one has lightning powers and the other has a sword, it doesn't seem like they're of their own kind. It relies on the text to cue us in, but I think it works as far as basically illustrating the trope.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

[up] Not clear enough that Spike's also a vampire, at least from that angle.

On that case the only thing I can thing off is Slimer helping to hunt ghosts in The Real Ghostbusters in a compose picture. But I don't know if it's clear enough that he is from the same kind than the hunted.

Alright I vote for my own suggestion (16) then.
