Suggestion: Monster.Fan Works

Go To

Now that a crossovers page has been created for the Complete Monsters trope, the original image for Fan Works will be transferred over to the new page, since it originated from a crossover work. Now, we need to find a new image to replace the original. I proposed this one of Dr. Henry Miller from Dayshift at Freddy's could work. What do you guys think?

Not really keen on the suggestion. Also, I see that the Crossovers folder is still on the page, is it going to be moved to the new page any time soon?

[up] Yeah ACW just requested it tonight on the locked pages thread. I like the image by the way.

I like the image, especially if we can get a good caption to go along with it.

I dont know. It looks off thanks to the graphics to me.

Black Diamond? It's not from a particular fanwork, just a one-off piece of AU fanart.

Otherwise I'm fine with Dr. Miller. The pixel art adds to the creep factor, I feel.

[up] That’s not very clear... honestly, without context, it looks more like a funny moment than anything.

Black Diamond image: Admittedly, I'm not feeling the image, as nothing particularly heinous is being depicted.

Killgrave image: I also considered using an image from that scene in the fan film, but it honestly feels a bit too much like Comedic Sociopathy without context, but I'd be less opposed to using that image than the Black Diamond one.

The Killgrave image makes sense to me; that expression in the second panel is the kind of smirking menace I'd expect in that scene.

The second panel is pretty good. It's the first panel that doesn't do it for me. It doesn't look to me like he's going to shoot himself, more like he's just laughing and raising a gun near his head.

If we're not going with the original suggestion I think the Kilgrave one works fine in my opinion. Though I still think the first suggestion works best to me.

In addition to the concerns raised about the first panel, it being live-action (and well shot at that) doesn't really scream "fan work" to me.

People usually think of fanfics or animations when they think "Fan work", not "fan film", especially not something this High Quality. It does look more like a legit movie or TV show...

Okay. I still say that the original suggest works best.

Don’t particularly like any of these.

I really can't think of anything besides the original that would work, but here's some ideas anyway even though they probably won't work. But yes, all of these are approved Monsters.

  • From Pokemon Hard Mode, there's this page, scroll down to the 42nd/43rd panels (I'm including the panels before the title in this count, just so you know) and it shows Mewtwo clearly killing someone, but it might be too small to work, and Mewtwo being in silhouette might be an issue to some.
  • From The Night the Magic Died, there's the 6th panel of this and the 1st panel of this, but the first idea might be hard to tell without context and the second out of context could be mistaken for Gralo just looking at the drained bodies, not helped by him being a bird and his face not being seen on that panel.
  • From Nazo Unleashed, (video link here) we could try a collage of Nazo destroying a city (1:33-1:49 in the video) or him killing Tails (6:53-6:58 and Tails' body can be seen at 14:12-14:15 in the video). Probably the best of my ideas, but not like there's any competition.

I like the second Gralo pic the best.

I was going to suggest an image from Ask Jappleack, but couldn’t actually find anything substantial.

I think that either the Day Shift image or the second Gralo image work best

Mewtwo image: I thought about using that image, but I couldn't capture those panels without it being too small and/or pixelated. If someone could capture those panels cleanly, I'd like using that one.

First Gralo image: I have the same concerns about it being confusing out-of-context, that you have about this image, but it could work.

Second Gralo image: Admittedly, I'm not too fond of this one because Gralo's back is turned and we don't get too much of a good look of him from that panel, so it's kind of hard to see that he's the villain here with this panel alone.

Nazo image: I was also thinking about using an image from Nazo, but I couldn't come up with any good images that clearly depict him destroying the city or killing Tails, though I wouldn't mind using it if someone can find an image of those actions.

Here's the Mewtwo pic. The image is natively a jpg so I can't really do anything about it.
