This image did not get enough consensus in the Image Suggestion thread. Thoughts?

It's okay but just okay.

[tup] Yeah, that works.

But if we want an alternative, maybe some frames from this comic focusing on the black-haired demon woman.

[tup] It's not very visually-interesting, but it gets the idea across.

[up] That seems like a different trope to me.

[up] Crap, you're right. The trope is named Regenerating Health but it actually means that in a computer game you can recover your health quickly by staying idle. Welp, that goes on the TRS list.

[up]How? Regenerating Health is an actual term that is recognized in games.

If a trope has a name that is widely used and recognized, it doesn't need a different name.

I don't even get how that comic is supposed to be about health regeneration. The trope name sounds pretty straightforward to me.

[up]I think it's because she regenerates her hair, but that's covered under Healing Factor.

The bottom panels of this comic could work, but I'm not sure if it's too bloody.

[up][up] Panels 5, 7, 9 and 10 would work.

Yeah, I think that's leaning a bit too far into Gorn.

I normally dislike gorny pics but I think the cartoonish style dampens the NSFW-ness a bit. Would using three panels (scrapping one of the top ones) help?

I don't think that removing one of the top ones would make any difference NSFW-wise, and using only the bottom ones would not be enough to illustrate the trope. That said, I'm not against the picture personally, but if many people find it too gory/disturbing, then obviously it's not good.

I'm open to seeing better suggestions, but I think the cartoony artstyle of 12 certainly helps mitigate the violent visuals. It's no worse than what's currently on Chest Burster, for example.

I dunno. There's something kinda visceral about 12. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it does seem too gross to use.

[up][up] Yeah, this suggestion is definitely several steps worse than the pic on Chest Burster.

Chest Burster needs a quality upgrade, if we're talking about it.

Back on topic, I don't find the image that gross — might be because my mind's interpreting his eyes as literal faucets or something — would it be better if panel 9 was swapped with panel 8?

Three panel. I do think this layout is better, since at least it's not 50% 'ocular blood gushers' and the cleaner bottom two panels dominate.
