The current image doesn't really convey Frollo's attraction towards Esmeralda. It looks like he just intends on killing her.

Here are a few suggested images that make the attraction more obvious.

Esdeath and Tatsumi

Ultron and Number Nine

I think the imagery in the current is pretty good, but 1.3 is better than it or the other suggestions as 1.1 and 1.2 aren't very clear about showing a villain.

[tdown] to 1.1 and 1.2, I think they illustrate other tropes better (Villainesses Want Heroes, Marshmallow Hell, etc) and she doesn't really look like a villain.

Here's 1.3 at wiki size. Ambivalent if it's better than current.

I wonder if the character's confliction shown in 1.3 fits another trope better.

I think the current is worth keeping.

I mean, the current seems fine. His smile does not exactly connote intent to kill from where I'm sitting, and the context of the page helps emphasize that this is a delusional crush. He looks excited by her presence. That said, I guess 6 is more explicitly illustrating the crush.

I think the Ultron pic would make a better quote since the robot face doesn't express any kind of emotion.

Current is fine. 6 is better.

Note that 6 would render the suggestion #1579 here a duplicate.

I think current works, the Frollo's smile seem crushy to me, not murderous and her reaction also implies something sexual, so I vote to keep current.

Any reason to pick it over the options in post 6 and 7, though?

All three are good, but I'm actually thinking the "Obsession" version is the best.

Maybe we should go for a crowner.

6 is definitely a good contender for Perverted Sniffing.

Crowner's hooked. I didn't include 6 as I think it's a clear fit for Perverted Sniffing.

Some late entries since 6 was nicked. 23.4 will need permission by the artist.
