Indeed we are supposed to wait until released to change work page images.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadSo I chose a bad picture and now we're stuck with it? I would have chosen the new one If I had known about it.
It's gonna be fun on the bun!The main reason we have that rule in place is to prevent repeated threads—we could replace the image right now, but a better poster could pop up closer to release, and we'd have to do all of this again. Hazbin Hotel went through two threads only a month apart, both prior to its premiere.

I mean, maybe you could just argue to the mods that the image you selected was low quality in the image picking policy discussion thread. No guarantee that would work, but it’s a thought.
You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.That's the rule, I'm afraid. As long as the current image complies with policy, we don't normally make changes before the release.
Nothing stops us opening a thread once it's out and changing it asap, but there have been too many cases where the sequential release of posters (or character images) leads to repeated changes before it's actually out.
Edit: locking after double-checking with other mods.
