I'd consider the first three good upgrades but I'm indifferent on the last two, and I'd downsize them all to 300 or 275 px.
I'm a little uncomfortable with being described as an 'unofficial moderator'. I'm just a troper who frequently edits the RWBY pages and my opinions are no more or less valid than any other troper's.
It might be worth seeing them at the smaller size that's been suggested, as I suspect Tyrian's hair may still have issues in the suggested image.
Perhaps it's my eyes, but the suggestion for Watts seems a little blurred?
I have no problem with the first three images. They look like good replacements.

I've edited them so they're 300px. I've also cropped Tyrian a bit too to remove Negative Space.
Sorry bout that, I just referred to you as such since I've seen you make the most edits and often make sure to remove Trope Misuse and inaccurate information.

Those all look fine to me.
I just wish they didn't all have that maroon tint to them, but I guess that can't be helped.
Watts needs a different pic. He's generally smug and looks uncharacteristically down in that shot.
Since everyone seems to be in agreement about Merc, Em, and Hazel, should I go ahead and give them the new picks?
I'd say we go for it. It wouldn't hurt.
Here's Watts wiki sized and bordered

Looks like all the changes have been made, and the clock's up. Locking up.
First time doing an Image Pickin', seeing as my experience on here has just had images placed without discussion in virtually everything.
So since Ano Baka Desu said I should do this, here are my suggestions for the image changes on Salem's Factions. I'd also prefer reasoning be given for disagreeing with any of my picks rather than simple answers. Please elaborate is what I'm asking.
Emerald:
Reasoning: Her current image is from as far back as Volume 2, when the engine was Poser. With the engines updated to Maya, and her design unchanged between the shift, her profile image should reflect the current engine rather than an out of date one.
Mercury:
Reasoning: Same as Emerald's.
Hazel:
Reasoning: The lighting in his current profile image is rather poor, giving an inaccurate color palette to him. In addition it is hard to make out his mouth in the image currently used.
Watts:
Reasoning: Half of his face is cast in shadows in the current profile, and the image appears too zoomed out.
Tyrian:
Reasoning: His hair in the current profile image blends into the background of the shot, and again, the image appears too zoomed out.
Please respond to this so the issue can be resolved as quickly as possible. In particular I am hoping to get the input of Wyldchyld, Zaptech, and Ano Baka Desu as they seem to be the unofficial moderators of the RWBY pages.
EDIT: Replaced the images with ones that are 300 px. I also cropped Tyrian's a bit to remove negative space.
