On that site you will find the image showing Gregor and his man burning a village.

I don't how to put not hotlinked image

I fixed the link in the thread title. The current pic was chosen here, and I’m not convinced the suggestion’s an improvement even though the current’s not a great pic.

There's not enough context there to make it clear that the burning is being done for evil reasons.

[up] How is there not enough context?

Rape, Pillage, and Burn is an inherently evil trope, and that's what we're witnessing on the image. That said, Gregor, with his face concealed, doesn't really stand out on the pic from the other Lannister soldiers, so it's a [tdown] from me.

[up] You can see three dogs on his armour.

[up] And no one who's not familiar with ASoIaF is going to know what that means. It's been long enough since I read the books that I'd forgotten that point. The main point is that, much as Nightmare Fuel page pics need to be clear about the scariness, Monster page pics need to be unambiguous about showing the character's evil and this simply doesn't meet that criteria.

...and the pic should be safe for work, I assume? Even though the current is weak, with the subject matter's nature, it's going to be hard finding a replacement.

What if we add caption saying: "Gregor during his usual working day'', and put a note saying he is one with three black dogs on an armour?

Im fine with keeping the orginial photo as there seems to be nothing better.

Same here.

Considering they're knights in armor they could be heroically burning down the Big Bad's stronghold or a bandit camp for all the viewer knows

I vote against the image.

[up] No, you can't...I only just now noticed that the one on the far left of the pic has what looks like a chimney.

It's a background element in sepia colours. It's not particularly clear.

That, and nothing makes it explicit they're burning the houses of innocent villagers.

They could be burning a village full of evil cultists as far as the viewer knows because a character in full-on knight armor complete family crest tunic isn't exactly what screams evil in a fantasy setting to the average person.

[up]Yeah, that. Current isn't Joff at his most despicable, but aiming a crossbow at a young girl is more obviously evil than some knights burning stuff.

Alternatively, there's this illustration of Gregor attacking Elia and her infant son.

Here's an alternative take on current, showing Joffrey's whole body and less of Sansa:

[up]I like that Gregor one. It's better than the current on the grounds I can clearly see the players and what Gregor is going to do.

I'm in major favor of the second Gregor image, above the current and all others suggested.

A slightly tighter crop (plus caption suggestion).
