Picture Change Guidelines
As per the Image Policy, nominate and discuss changes to the profile pictures of the character articles here and only here. The typical requirements for a profile picture are that it shows the character facing forward, in their typical attire and should not be battle-worn. They should be centered, have good lighting, and be of good quality. Candidates also must have valid and complete and  templates attached to them or else they will be rejected.

Votes
How to vote:

{|align=right


 * }


 * Vote by typing either of the following in the relevant sections:

Only one "Support" vote per user. Votes will be open only for a week of the initial pic being placed. At the end of the week the highest rated pic will win. If no pick is a clear winner, than an admin with pick the pic. If another pic is brought up after the picture is picked then the voting begins again with the pic that has already been picked and the new pic or pics.

Quincy
The key visual features plot-relevant Quincies instead of generic, poorly-drawn no names. Lightning Laxus (talk) 19:46, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Gremmy Thoumeaux
Been a while since we did one of these, but it's fitting here. Gremmy's only appearance in the anime has provided suitable replacements for both his profile images - created body and true body - and I figure both are worth putting up for discussion. As usual, the main difference is detail in the anime vs. lighting in the manga.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Body:
 * 1) Neutral - honestly, I can't make up my mind between the two.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Brain:
 * 1) Proposal 2 fixes the main problem with the original, which is how zoomed-out and low-detail it is. Obviously, I'd prefer to have it not be at an angle, but beggars can't be choosers.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:19, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Tōshirō Hitsugaya
Since I'm on a roll with images today, let's cap it off with a change I've been meaning to present for close to a decade now: Hitsugaya's pre-timeskip photo. This thing has bugged me for so, so long, and in my opinion it's high time we replace it: the skin tone is now (thankfully) correct, but it's at a weird angle, you can't see all of Hitsugaya's head + hair...and most egregiously, his hair isn't even styled that way! For whatever reason, in this shot it's all slicked-back and stuck-up like he just went through a wind tunnel. However, the proposal I found years and years ago has him dead-on, shows his entire head, and gets his hair right. High time we use that (or something of better quality but similar attributes) instead.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:46, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:46, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * 2) While I do agree that the current picture is iconic at this point, but the proposed version makes more sense as described by Xil.

Anime Images
Was wondering if we could add these images to the Soul Society Dwellers/Image Gallery. Both are named in the manga, but pages were never created for them.Greatsage92 (talk) 18:26, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Done.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:35, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

New wiki background and possible logo changes
I was playing around with some of the Burn the Witch assets I found and made some new wiki background concepts. I made a background, a "header banner" and a new logo. Do you guys like any of the new concepts?

-- 16:11, August 24, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) Been wanting a new header banner for a while now but the editor kept glitching so I never got to fool around with it - your proposal looks great. Same with the new logo and background, as much as I love the final arc and as much as our current logo has grown on me, right now it's BTW time (I'd be open to bringing back this BG when the anime starts airing again, though, then maybe capping it all off with a "dual banner" of Ichigo/Rukia/Noel/Ninny after it's all said and done).--Xilinoc (talk) 16:29, August 24, 2020 (UTC)

Yeah I’m open for a “dual background” and I would have done one, but there isn’t any key art for the anime yet, so I think this will do fine for the moment. -- 16:37, August 24, 2020 (UTC)

Support the wordmark and banner, but not the background. Its time for a change I think, but it should be the characters and it should include proper Bleach characters first and foremost. While its only right that BtW be acknowledged since its the only new content right now, it shouldnt supersede the original which is 95%+ of what the wiki is about. 09:12, August 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * Agree with Yyp. I support the wordmark and banner as well. While I admit the proposed background looks awesome, it kinda detracts from the fact that this wiki is still primarily about Bleach, not its spinoff. Timjer (talk) 09:23, August 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * Fair points, both of you. I'll try making a background to satisfy all parties later, but for now I say move ahead with the logo and background.--Xilinoc (talk) 11:50, August 25, 2020 (UTC)

I can refine the logo a bit (I was doing it on the fly) and move on using the header if all parties agree.-- 20:33, August 25, 2020 (UTC)

I created another logo concept -- 20:08, August 26, 2020 (UTC)

Managed to add the banner pic. Took a surprising amount of cropping, resizing to get it positioned right. Im sure itll surprise nobody that it doesnt show up on the Discussion page... 14:02, October 15, 2020 (UTC)
