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.

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.

Asguiaro Ebern
Now, Ivan. Current has color, detail, you name it. Proposal has more detail (and maybe a more refined design for his face?), but really dark lighting since the sun is behind him, making it hard to see details as a thumbnail.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) I'd like to stick with the manga here, the only "downside" is the open mouth but that doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things. Shame there isn't really a better option in the one episode that we'll see him in the sunlight.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Agree with Xil here. Timjer (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I'd like to go with the anime in most instances because of the detail but in this case the lighting really doesn't help.
 * 4) The dramatic lightning does not do the image any favors.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Uh oh Salami Toes some of the options aren't great for lighting, this is one that cannot be worked without painfully narrowing your eyes at a profile pic!!
 * 6) Hahaaa... that shading is just really bad for a profile.
 * 7) Like others have said, the manga pic is superior compared to the anime screenshot. The anime shading is too dark. Xeno Gotenks[10/15/22 at 12:46 PM EST]

bit late on this, but what about this? https://imgur.com/a/BIhlcEUEdanakas (talk) 17:36, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Not sure what the point would be there since it has a bit less detail and is otherwise the same shot.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:58, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

wdym? its a better angle imo than the other manga one.Edanakas (talk) 18:35, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Luders Friegen
Finally, not-Kokutō. Current has neutral lighting but is on the smaller side, Proposal has more detail but has blue lighting affecting hues and shadows.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Neutral - it'd be nice to have more detail, but the shadows and blue hue are kinda intense for the Proposal. Can't make up my mind, so I'll stay undecided here too.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Not different enough to compensate for darknes and heavy blues. Timjer (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Same issue as with Ebern. Hopefully there's less intense lighting one way or the other for the more prominent cast so we avoid this issue later.
 * 3) As with Ebern.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Hope we get a better option from the Anime!!
 * 5) Same problem as Ebern but more localized to the eyes. Really sucks that these are likely the best shots were gonna get in the anime of our two Quincirrancar fodder friends.
 * 6) The anime shot isn't bad, the the lighter tone from the manga wins out in this situation. Xeno Gotenks[10/15/22 at 12:49 PM EST]

Yumichika Ayasegawa (2003)
Oh yeah, and Yumichika. This is another recreated shot replacement: Current has more vibrant colors but is more zoomed out and a bit sketchier, Proposal is more focused and detailed but darker.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:02, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Gotta go for colors here.--Xilinoc (talk) 19:02, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Not a fan of these zoomed-in headshots. That aside, while his expression is more neutral in the proposal, his head is set at an awkward angle.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  14:46, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Similar issues here as with Shino, but Yumichika is a bit more known for his outfit so it helps to have more of it.
 * 4) Seeing more of Yumichika's clothing wins out for me. Xeno Gotenks[10/15/22 at 12:52 PM EST]

Silbern
As stunning as the manga art is, the added darkness and shadows in the anime give it a much more fitting atmosphere, IMO. Timjer (talk) 20:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1)  As proposer.--Timjer (talk) 20:32, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2)  I like this page to be updated to get the new feel of the building and it ominous presences. Truth fully I have updated the picture to the page but it is worth putting in as a preview. NagareFan1 (NagareFan1) 07:03, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) The edges are a little rough and the shading would really be a deal-breaker if this were a character's face, but neither of those issues are nearly as much of a problem here in my opinion.


 * 1) Solely because of the reduced detail - atmosphere is nice, but in the anime it's harder to tell that it's encrusted with ice and you can't really see the surrounding buildings as well, particularly the one marked with a cross. If a better version comes along in the anime later (entirely likely since this is an establishing shot like the overhead views of the Seireitei we always get), I'll gladly vote for that one.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:40, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I am in agreement with everything Xil said.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  14:46, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I said on Discord that I prefered the coloured digital version.
 * 4) More detail can be seen from the manga since it zoomed in more. Plus the higher detail on the ice is nice. Xeno Gotenks[10/15/22 at 12:54 PM EST]

Quilge Opie
The anime version faces the viewer at least and does not have that text covering part of it. So I'd say it's mostly better. Timjer (talk) 07:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 07:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah...I don't love the lighting we've been getting so far, but considering that the above manga shot was the best shot of him we ever got from the original source material, the anime giving us one that's completely front-facing, shows his full chin + his neck, and doesn't have a sword pointing at him the whole time is enough for me to overlook the duller colors (and hey, at least you can make out the Lennon specs!) Probably the SR second-most in need of updating after all this time...I sure can't wait for the Askin debates to flare up all over again...--Xilinoc (talk) 16:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I can overlook the lighting since you can still make out the colors, plus not having a sword in his face definitely helps.

Emilou Apacci
First up for the Tres Bestias replacements is Apacci. In exchange for dimmer colors, we've got more refined linework and a less tilted head.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) For me, the colors take precedence here - she's gaining this huge Roman legionary plume after the timeskip, but you can only tell it's red in the manga. Same with her eye colors.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Franceska Mila Rose
Second up is Mila Rose, which is a more identical shot between the two. Current has colors, Proposal is a bit larger and more focused.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Once again, the manga wins out for me here - not only for colors, but bc it better depicts her mask fragments at the top of her head via her hair poking out through the gaps (while in the anime it looks more like a black carapace on top of her head).--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

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)

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)
