Added the 3 I thought looked best... The fight was suprisingly hard to Freeze Frame for screenshots.

[3] looks great for this trope.

This is looking too close to call for now. At least it has some more green than before.

I'm fine with the lead.

Want to use it?

Holy crap three way tie... (The raven one has a watermark can we even use that? still seems a little abstract to me too.)

Hmm... suggestion. How about DC character, Shade?

[up] The first one looks like fire, and the second one...I'm not even sure.

I dunno, that first one could work.

Still, shade seems like a good idea. Perhaps we can find something else of him.

EDIT: found this.

Also, taking a different tack, Fire Emblem.

EDIT 2: Other Fire Emblem pics.

Ooh...I like.

I'd like something more dynamic, but it could do.

I like those Fire Emblem pics, but I wish they were bigger.

Holy freaking hell! To say I said today to Raso I would love to propose pics of my other big fave franchise, Fire Emblem in Image Pickin' threads, but didn't have good pics of it...

Looks like I finally can propose one! I remembered I had that Canas fanart in my Image Folder since long ago. (As such, don't ask me who's the illustrator or where I found this, I can't remember).

Hmm...while I'm normally against fan art, that actually does a damn good job at portraying the idea.

^^^Well, that is the GBA's native resolution. I could increase the size, but it would only increase the size of the pixels.

One other spell animation that could work for this is Luna. I can grab a frame for it pretty easily. I can also get other frames of Ereshkigal and Flux, if the ones above aren't the best.

^^hmm, Canas could work well...

Even though it is only resampling, I think it is worth it to increase size (and not resolution). E.g.:

It's good, but I'm definitely digging the Canas one the most.

#92: Jan 21st 2011 at 9:22:24 PM

Pulled the Magus image (no idea why this wasn't done sooner).

Here's the Canas image cropped and shrunk. It ended up pretty big, but since the introduction's rather wordy, it'll blend it, as well as make it less of a chore to ready through.

ThePope Since: Oct, 2010
#93: Jan 22nd 2011 at 11:08:07 AM

Well then, it seems like people are digging the Canas image.

Unless we get a bunch of negative votes soon, it looks like we have a winner.

Canas has been posted on the trope page.

I thought we didn't use fanart for page images? If that's the case I don't really want to use that.

We don't use fan art if there is non-fan art that works just as well or for Work pages. This is neither a work page nor a place where we have non-fan art that works as well.

But the three options below do seem to be doing an acceptable job of it. Dr. Facillier from The Princess And The Frog also seems like he'd work, though to be fair I don't know if anyone mentioned him.

Also, why is the image already changed?

Because we'd had the crowner up for the requisite amount of time and we'd just changed the image when you came in and started disputing it. He's also twice as positive as the next highest option.

Well, technically, the same amount of yeas, with slightly fewer nays. (9-3 vs 9-6 at the time of this post.)

Not a strong consensus, I'd say. It would only take two votes to swing it the other direction.

Plus, it hasn't even been up that long. I don't think it should be an option in the first place if there are other valid images that aren't fanart.
