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

Well, since the Switch 2 is out now, I'll make a new thread for it soon.

(New to IP, so take with a grain of salt)

I like the Heist Clash one: not only bigger, but the colors are better/brighter. (Looks like a higher quality scan or something?)

The HeroicBSOD.Comic Books one is also mostly good, but you've got some cropping leftovers where the right panel is overlayed on images behind it. Crop 1 pixel off the top and the right, and 2 pixels off the bottom, and I'd think it would be good.

Are we good with just putting it in as is, or is anyone able to 'shop them out?

Considering just how many images are not compliant, I feel it's not helpful to bring them up one by one to prompt others to look for them.

We also have Artifacts 'R' Us, but I find it questionable it's limited to images that are "difficult to upgrade".

And again, it's also fine to just leave them alone if they're otherwise illustrative and you don't have a replacement idea.

[up][up] I couldn't find a version that seemed size compliant, so I posted here in the hopes someone else may have happened to have it. I almost considered opening a thread but didn't have anything and the image was pretty nice aside from being small which is what led me here instead.
