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:

 * 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.

Cyan Sung-Sun
Lastly is good ol' Sung-Sun. As above, the Current has colors, but the Proposal is zoomed in/focused on her and has some more detail for her mask fragments.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) This is the one TB anime profile image I think works. Sung-Sun's character design is pretty black-and-white-focused to begin with, so the darker tones don't affect much, and the manga image needing to include part of Mila Rose and Apacci just to meet the size requirements for the infobox always irked me; now we have a version that cuts them out entirely! Oh, and the extra detail on her face is appreciated as well.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I wish the anime image were a little less fuzzy, but it still fits the profile picture guidelines better than the manga one.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  02:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) For me, the manga wins out only because of the distance of the shot. You get to see a bit more of Sung-Sun in the image. Plus the colors are more pleasing. The anime has no text bubbles, but that the only pro. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 15:58, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Yhwach
Didn't expect to get a good shot of the main man so soon, but here we are. It's surprisingly 1:1 with the current manga pic despite not being the same moment - just a bit more zoomed in, Swaggy Y.H.'s smirking instead of stoicing, and of course overcast lighting instead of neutral coloring. (oh, and if anyone complains that this isn't the real guy - neither is the manga pic and we have precedent for using imitators as profile images)--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As usual, I'd love to get a BRIGHTER shot from the anime one of these days, but I think this is fine; nice to finally have a higher resolution main image for Yhwach, and he's usually smirking instead of frowning anyway.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Also agreed. Timjer (talk) 09:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) It is fine for now; I suspect we will get a superior candidate very soon, however.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) The manga shot just feels superior. It brighter and overall makes Yhwach cooler compared to the proposed. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:45, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Bambietta Basterbine
Haaaaaaaaaa...now this is a character that will definitely get more discussions in the future, mainly due to her ever-alternating design. For those who don't remember or weren't around for the weekly chapter releases, for whatever reason Kubo alternated between drawing Bambietta like a 14-year old and drawing her like a 22-year old - the latter came after the first invasion, and the two looks would sometimes swap during chapters for extra confusion. She's not actually aging up and down either, so it wouldn't make sense to do a dual profile image setup like for characters we see at different ages...so basically, we gotta pick whichever one fits her better overall.

Back in the day, we settled for the adult look since that's more or less where she stuck at, but I figured people would complain if we didn't at least put up the first proper shot we've gotten of her in the anime for debate, so here we are. Visual age difference (and lack of gold trim on the cap) aside, this doesn't have any objections from me aside from the dang lighting - it looks like the anime is preserving the colored manga's purple hair for Bambi, so that's not a factor here either. What say you all?--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) The lack of a speech balloon is a big plus for me. Besides, we can always still replace it if we find a better one in the future. Timjer (talk) 12:39, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I must be an idiot because somehow Bambi's age-morphing has escaped my notice all these years. Still, I do prefer the anime image we have here; we have a better view of her entire head, no speech bubble, and her expression is about as neutral as it is ever going to be.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Given a choice between these two, I have to go with the Current one for the better lighting and showing her in her adult styling.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Manga pic looks a lot better.Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I agree with Xil on this one. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 00:48, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin

 * 1) It may just be me, but I like the original better. Shows the smoldering, charred blade better. Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with Timjer. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 23:50, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) For all three of these technique pages, we're gonna switch to GIFs soon as Sun is able to put some up - however, until then, I prefer keeping the manga for this one.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Nishi: Zanjitsu Gokui

 * 1) This one, on the other hand, I do like more. So, with the GIF uploaded early my vote goes to Proposal 2. Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) While I do wish we could see more of Yamamoto's head clearly, but the anime has a nice appeal to it. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 23:51, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) For all three of these technique pages, we're gonna switch to GIFs soon as Sun is able to put some up - however, until then, I prefer the anime for this one, namely since it shows the "shape" that the fire cloak takes rather than just what could be a shot of Yama on fire/really mad.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Minami: Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin
Soul King Almighty, this was awesome and terrifying! I suppose this is good enough until we perhaps have a gif to use.Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 19:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) The anime is more horrifying, and I love it strictly for that. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 23:52, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) For all three of these technique pages, we're gonna switch to GIFs soon as Sun is able to put some up - however, until then, the anime will make a fine replacement with those red skellingtons.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin

 * 1) Much better. Now it's a lot clearer what this technique actually does, tbh. Timjer (talk) 15:24, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger

 * 1) As proposer; not much to say here. Timjer (talk) 14:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Zeidritz

 * 1) Neutral - Now that I've compared them directly, I'm iffy on using the finalized design in higher quality or a properly colorful version. Will leave it up to others.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Genshirō Okikiba
Ah yes, the guy we didn't get a proper shot of on the anime side until, like, 3 episodes after his actual debut. This is a rare case of the anime adapting a manga panel 1:1, right down to the tiniest details in the hair...the one caveat is that it has that damn flashback filter over it, so it's grainy and sorta grayed-out rather than being depicted in clear, proper color.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Gonna have to go with the manga here due to the color, higher detail around the neck, and overall clear look to it. The only real improvement that the anime made is the eyes, which isn't a big deal when he's not even facing the camera.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2022 (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)
