Proposal

Hello there! Recently an image of Baylan Skoll from Card Trader was uploaded to the wiki, and after a recent edit had been reverted, I thought it would be a better idea to put the proposal up for up for a vote, so it can be properly decided as to whether or not it (or perhaps a cropped version of it) would make a more appropriate infobox image for Baylan.

To me, the quality of the current image is quite low, and colouration seems off. The body language (and to an extent, the expression) show more emotion than infobox images usually do, which would be out of character for Baylan more so than most other characters, and the image itself cuts off at an odd angle. The proposed image features Baylan in a slightly calmer manner, with him facing the camera directly rather than with his body turned slightly. It gives us a better angle of him in his full suit, and, whilst possibly slightly wide for an infobox, could be easily cropped down to fit properly. The image is of a much better quality and colouration, and overall just seems to line up with the images used for almost every other infobox image with a transparent background.

  1. Absolutely not, or I would have put this one in the infobox when I uploaded it. Look at the face, look at the eyes. This current image is higher quality. It's sharper, more detailed. Hands down, the better image. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 23:05, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

  2. The current one looks awkward, especially with the cropping over the arms and belt; this is much better. OOM 224 (he/him) 16:23, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

  10. JMAS makes a good point but this one is more visually appealing for an infobox. Braha'tok enthusiast Hello there 14:02, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
