Does Not Illustrate: Outdated By Canon

Okay... I am the only one to think the picture is too dependent of the caption and doesn't illustrate much?

I don't have suggestion for replacement, though... this is not an easy trope to picture.

It doesn't help that two of those pics are stretched horizontally...I think the current concept can work but needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. Maybe have the fan pics in a panel that's labeled "Fanon" and the actual Blaise in a panel labeled "Canon"?

That would be a slight improvement. Slight.

At least it would help viewers unfamiliar with the work.

I did the picture mostly to represent the idea, but I'm not against changing it.

It’s just seven faces and a caption.

^ All images on the left are thumbnails of deviant art works. Can we use those without approval?

[up][up] That's a definite improvement. Maybe the "Blaise Zambini" part should be in the caption?

^^ While some of the artists are still online, most of them haven't been in Deviantart for a good while, so is hard to ask them for permission.

I could ask a friend for an original artwork.

[up][up][up] The artists should be cited in the caption, at minimum.

Use image as-is. Link to all the fan-images as caption.

If some of the artists aren't active on dA anymore, then obtaining permission might be a fruitless quest. At a minimum, each original work should be cited in the caption; say "Sources: [1], [2]...[6]".

If we're going to use 8 with "Character: Blaise Zambini" at the bottom, the image should be potholed to Harry Potter. Not a fan of the comic-like font; maybe a font like Lumos should be used for "Canon"?

Both in 8 are pretty good. If we went with the version that has his name in the pic, I'd prefer it to be over the panels.

We've got enough consensus for 8.1, so it's in and tagged. Aside from the credits, is the caption good?

Font is fine IMO. Perhaps pothole the name Blaise Zabini to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?
