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

I was looking through the sandbox and thought the pic for Straw Character might be easy to find a better version to swap in. Well, I couldn't find anything better of that particular shot, but I did find this:

Original:

Cropped to make it look more like the current:

Does it work better than the current?

~jandn2014, sorry for the mention, but...

If you didn't know, this is an upgrade to the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors in the last page.

Well, on the page for Sakura Wars 4: Fall in Love, Maidens, the boxart for the DC version looks very stretched/cropped.

Is it better if this would work, (also, its an official box scan from Sega, so...)

The image on Creator.Ralph Bakshi is cropped weirdly. May I suggest a less cropped version as a quality upgrade?

This one is probably close enough but I wanted to check to be sure as it loses the background pattern:

~jandn2014, you were looking for an upgrade for 1A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.

Why are you taking so long to accept that upgrade?

[up]+[up][up] Approved.

[up] That's such a basic upgrade you can just switch it in yourself you don't really need approval

The Shirley Template image could probably be cropped too:

I made a version of Webcomic Time with the other panels that are bleeding over in the crop cleaned up:

Is that fine to swap in? I think the current looks pretty ugly.

How's this for Embarrassing Nickname?

Current:

We could potentially keep the crop but, personally, I think it looks better without the title so close to the border. Not a strong view and ymmv, though.

[up][up][up][up] So basic, in fact, why won't ~jandn2014 change it? It's just an upgrade for the sake of quality. Besides, I'm currently suspended, so that's another reason, ~GracieLizzy.

The image for Mosquito Miscreants looks unnaturally dark. There is a bit of shadowing toward the left, most recognizable on the snout of the middle mosquito.
