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.

Ichigo Kurosaki
Something about Ichigo's current pre-timeskip picture has always bugged me. I think it's the strange...thinness to his body, how his face looks real narrow and pointy, as well as how he's facing slightly to the side and has this sort of glow about him due to the scene it's from. I just found an alternative from episode 313 where he's completely facing forward, is drawn better and has a proper chin, and is in regular lighting. The only downside I can see is the part of Renji's shoulder being visible on the left, but honestly it's such a minor thing that I personally don't care.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:20, February 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:20, February 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) Sorry I keep looking at the picture when it smaller and the eyes look odd to me like theres a larger white shine that one of them and looks like an error and a bit distorted.

Yūichi Shibata
Yūichi's current profile image has him to the side, not directly facing the camera, with dusk/sundown lighting, while my proposal is centered on him facing the camera during the daytime. Seems an easy choice to me.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:43, March 9, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:43, March 9, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) An improvement.  13:16, March 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Image is better although wish was a little more square that vertically long, no completely square just a little less longer vertically but the image is better.

Mizuiro Kojima (pre-timeskip)
Kinda minor changes here, but Mizuiro's current pre-timeskip image irks me with his non-neutral expression, tilted stance, and slight facing away from the camera (I know his eyes are looking forward, but still). Proposal has none of those, and for bonus points is in a more updated art style.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:22, March 10, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:22, March 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Slight improvement. They don't have to be facing directly in to the camera, its just a matter of being able to see all their features.  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)

Either image works fine to be honest.

Ryō Utagawa
Current: off to the side, closed in on his face, at a slight angle. Proposal: centered, shows his entire head, completely even keel. Can't say much more than that. Proposal 1 is a bit more zoomed out and less detailed than Proposal 2, so I figured they should both go up.--Xilinoc (talk) 07:19, March 19, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 2 is my preferred one, looks more on-model for him and doesn't have the snake's head in view.--Xilinoc (talk) 07:19, March 19, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Either of the proposals are better. You either have the snake's head fully in or fully out, not half in like op1 so I go for op 2 of those.  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)

Szayelaporro Granz
Always felt Szayel's current image was a bit too zoomed-in and at an odd angle, but only now have I come across a suitable replacement - front-facing, showing more of his head, and a bit more on-model (by virtue of being pre-Amagai). Time for a change.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:56, March 29, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:56, March 29, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Only because there's less of his head cropped out of the pic.  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Oh yes much better.

Kenpachi Zaraki
Probably should've put this up 5 years ago when it would've been relevant, but I only just noticed how bad Kenpachi's current post-timeskip image is: I fully understand that it's the best we got from the anime, but he's not facing the camera, it's at night, and most glaringly it's off-model (check out that right eye a good inch lower than the left and the super elongated nose). Thankfully, Kubo gave a great alternative in the last arc with a pretty detailed shot of him from the front in the daylight, and with my hands on the colored manga it's got all the advantages of the anime version with none of the Pierrot drawbacks. Time to change it.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:14, March 31, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:14, March 31, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) If the anime had continued, the current one would never have been kept, but there were only night time pictures to use. This is easier to make out his features on.  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah that arc was a difficult one to work with because of the night time shots.

Tessai Tsukabishi
I never have liked Tessai's current profile image - it's kinda zoomed out, he's not facing the camera, his head's cut off at the top, it's from a lower-quality filler episode - but I assumed it was the best we'd gotten of a fairly minor character, so imagine my surprise when I came across the perfect replacement in the Bount arc. Now he's facing forward, it's focused on his head and shoulders, you can see his ENTIRE head, and best of all it's great quality. Can't see anything against this one.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:46, April 3, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:46, April 3, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Has all of his head in it.  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Yes yes yes I hated that image and hated trying to find it too.

Orihime Inoue
Speaking strictly in terms of our profile image requirements, there's nothing *wrong* with Orihime's current pre-timeskip image - she's facing forward, it's focused on her head and shoulders, she's not battle-worn and it's of good quality. This is more a quality update than anything - my proposal comes 52 episodes later, after the anime went true HD and Pierrot upped the quality of character designs and colors, so now Orihime just looks better and brighter on all fronts (face, hair, clothing). Nothing radical, but makes sense to have the best version available.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:21, April 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:21, April 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) No change needed and not an improvment.  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Honestly the expression just isn't there for me.

Heita Momoyama
Oh hey there's actually a frontal shot of this guy in proper lighting let's use that kthx--Xilinoc (talk) 07:24, April 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 07:24, April 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) No shadows across his face is better.  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah no pesky sun rays ruining the shot.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi
I wasn't planning on replacing this at first because it's pretty decent, but I came across an alternative in the latter half of the Hueco Mundo arc that highlights the problems Mayuri's current pre-timeskip photo has: it's zoomed out, he's sorta turned to the side and not looking directly at the camera, and he's also a biiiiit to the left of the center. On the other hand, my proposal is properly focused an centered on his face while still showing off his dank Hueco Mundo hairstyle and he's 100% facing forward. Can't see any problems with it.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:59, April 10, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:59, April 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Still missing the top, but it is better  09:22, April 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah better.

Byakuya Kuchiki
Okay, so the last time I tried this, it didn't go over so well due to the proposal not having the best lighting, and in hindsight I agree with the decision to not change it - but I think I've finally found a winner. Not only do we have Byakuya completely from the front in natural lighting here, we can also see his entire head. The only downside I can think of is that part of his neck is in shadow due tothe light source, but personally that doesn't matter much to me.--Xilinoc (talk) 11:56, April 20, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 11:56, April 20, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Again do prefer to have a little bit more out on the horizontal and its a little to the side but its much better than the close up drama moment.
