So the sense I'm getting from Arawn999 is that for characters who are too changed from their manga designs, it would be better to use Black & White manga panels if there is no official colorized Miura portrait. That case-by-case basis approach is different than if we went with the phenomx13 proposal that the primary should always be artwork by Miura, whether or not a colorized version is available. It would require us too look at each character and determine a rule of thumb for how different is too different.

Let's take some specific examples. I had made Foss' primary an [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foss_anime_b.jpg image]] from ''Anime/Berserk1997'', as I found it largely the same as in the manga, and it is in color. Phenomx13 saw fit to replace it in precedence with [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foss_8.jpg this]] monochrome manga panel. On one hand, the '97 anime is in color, but on the other hand the coloring is a little flat compared to the level of shading in the manga and the TCG. The same issue with the Queen of Midland and Gambino: I would like to use ''Anime/Berserk1997'' and I'm guessing phenomx would say that the current monochrome manga portraits are still better. What would you have us do?

Let's take Collette as another example. In the manga she only appears in monochrome. In ''Anime/Berserk1997'' she is turned brown-haired. In ''Anime/Berserk2016'' she is blond, but only appears in cel-shaded 3D. My first impulse was to use one of the less-bad shots from ''Anime/Berserk2016'', and that's what we have currently, but phenomx13 would sooner replace it with monochrome.

So do we use 1 which is black and white, 2 where her hair is the \"wrong\" color, or 3 where there\'s a certain amount of uncanny valley?

In some cases it only takes one tweak to make an image acceptable. For example, \'\'Anime/BerserkTheGoldenAgeArc\'\' turns Gennon\'s beard white. It would be pretty easy to just take the image and recolor his beard black again, so if I could do that, would you rather leave his manga portrait there or replace it with the movie one?

I like the way most of the characters turned out in that adaptation, and would rather see those as the primary than uncolored manga panels; if there hadn\'t been a Berserk Trading Card Game portrait that colorized the King, for example, I would have rather used his shot from the movies than use an uncolored manga shot because I think it\'s pretty much the same, only in color. phenomx13 disagreed. The Berserk TCG solved some specific impasses, but we still have the fundamental issue of whether consistency of artist is more important to us than consistency of color versus B&W.
