Pages needing quality upgrades: Sandbox.Artifacts R Us

Go To

This thread will be to list pages whose pics are fine as is but are needing quality upgrades, so we don't take up space in the forum with individual threads for them.

Swapping a pic with a better-quality version is a free action, as is swapping a pic with a larger identical version to fit the new image size criteria (800px minimum width). If there are more changes in the proposed swap (e.g. less text, slightly different coloring or crop), however, you might want to post here first.

Resources:

Please add pages that need work to the following Sandbox page: Artifacts 'R' Us

Looking at ComicBook.Weapon X 1991, ~selkies has just swapped out the original image (w322) for a larger one. It's a definite improvement, but the new one is slightly cropped.

Any objection if we swap it again, this time for a full cover without the crop at top and bottom?

Thoughts?

I mean, I don't care either way, but so what if it's slightly cropped? It's not tightly cropped or cropping an important part or anything.

[up][up] As a rule, for comic covers I personally prefer the artist's full image, as they intended it to be published (with some exceptions where there's a single color frame/stripe that doesn't add to the image, as with the Marvel NOW! stuff).

In this case, it's not a strong preference but I do think the crop brings the MCP title text very close to the edge and the other version looks better on that front.

I like the last version of the Weapon X cover.

Mimic Species has a new pic, but it's badly in need of an upgrade.

How's this for X-Men: Messiah Complex:

Proposed (collected edition cover):

Even with the border, it's a slightly bigger copy of the image - and it doesn't have the barcode etc.

Upgrade suggestion for Breakout Character:

Also considering this, interested if with or without pointing it out would be better.

NightmareFuel.Stickin Around has a Kisscartoon watermark. If anyone can reupload without it, great.

Another take on Bombproof Appliance becuase it's hard to see (tbh, it still is)

Shows the background explosion and Indy at a better angle.

[up][up] I actually think that the current is clearer, since you can see that it's a fridge more easily.
