Poor Image: Multi Melee Master

Multi-Melee Master's image has a copyright or a website in the bottom left corner. It's too small for me to read.

Previous thread. It would take some creative editing, but the helmetless samurai here◊ would be a good option.

Edit: [1]◊ - question is if that one is free to use.

Same goes for [2]

That's not a melee weapon.

Corrected post above

The image on the page now seems to read "lacedemon.info", so presumably this◊ is the original.

^4 - That first one's so tiny I can barely see it.

fixed

Reclocked.

Here's some other suggestions:

• Kohaku from Inuyasha: 1◊, 2◊
• Zaran: 1◊
• Hilde from Soul Calibur 4: 1◊, 2◊

10.3.1 seems to be clearest.

Of those, that's the one I lean toward most.

Looks good.

Transparent background version:

Two shots of Hilde with transparency plus a random orc who is free to use

Now that I think of it, the way Hilde wields the spear on those pics reminds more of a fancy-looking banner than an actual weapon.

Kohaku's second pic (10.1.2) is clearer on that part (the first pic's link is broken for me):

Keep in mind that Hilde was already nominated and then not agreed upon in the last thread because it could cause confusion with Dual Wielding.

The point of the trope is about a character that switches between melee weapons. Not someone who uses them both at once. The distinction is important, and it was mentioned that an ideal pic would have a character using one weapon with a backup one featuring prominently on their person.

for Hilde, unless there's art of her using only one of her weapons, with the other sheathed somewhere on her armor.

For similar reasons, to Zaran. He's illustrating Walking Armory more than this trope.

Looking at them all, I think 17 (10.1.2) is probably the best, unless there's some detail I'm missing.

The chain thing and the sword are clearly different kinds of weapons. He has one weapon out, one weapon sheathed. The sheathed weapon stands out because it is big and contrasts well with the dark armor. Similarly, the simple design of the armor is good because it doesn't upstage either of the weapons (a problem that I was seeing with a lot of other suggestions).

However, there does seem to be a black line to the left side of the image that would need editing out.

Another alternative is to have various images of a same character wielding different melee weapons.

Crowner's hooked.

Votes bump; only two options in consensus range ATM.

Time to call this one. The new pic's in and tagged, but the example needs to be added to the page. Caption?

Old pic:

EDIT: Can someone take that border off the left edge of the pic?

I went ahead and swapped in a borderless version.

Thanks!
