Profile Picture Changes
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.

Suggestion for '5 y/o ghost boy' new profile pic

Amagai
I'm going to finish overhauling Amagai's article soon, but before I do, I think we need to change his profile image, as the lighting in it is off. I found 2 shots that I liked, but if anyone else wants to put up any other options, that's cool, but I think we should change it to something with Amagai in the daylight, facing the camera (before using his Bankai).

I like 187 as it is a little closer and I like the expression but 168 is good as well--God (Pray)  17:18, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Tosen
I don't like Tosen much but I do think he deserves a better profile picture then he current has. How about Option A from episode 280? Tinni  (Talk)  14:13, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

lol. im usually quite biased of my own pics, but that one is really good too. hmm id go with either one, honestly.--RexGodwin 16:23, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Option B is not suitable imo (too heavily shadowed). A is alright, but I'd prefer to see if we get any better ones before he pulls out his Hollow mask. 20:51, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm with Yyp on this. Let's wait for at least another episode or so (depending on how long it takes for Tosen to get his mask) before voting. I mean, out of these two, I'd say A is the way to go, since B is heavily shadowed, but I want to wait until after the next episode(s) come out, so we can possibly get better options in the future before picking something. Arrancar109 (Talk)  04:30, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Byakuya
I'm proposing for a better pic of him because hes not exactly facing forward so could people suggest some pictures and the admins could decideKaran8 (talk) 23:28, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

The current one is fine. Besides, none of these would work any better than the current one. He's visibly battle-worn in some of them, and all of them are not in daylight lighting. Arrancar109 (Talk)  00:22, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that none of these will work. First, not a single one of them has valid or  templates, plus they are all too dark, some are not facing the camera, have background distractions, battledamage. 11:16, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I dislike these pictures as well!! They're dull and not the best images they can show!! SunXia (talk) 01:31, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

ive added an option 6 if the admins want to delete the rest they can and how do you change the name of the pictureKaran8 (talk) 02:06, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Still doesn't have him facing the camera. The current image is fine. Arrancar109 (Talk)  05:38, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, it is not an improvement on the current, imo, which should be left up. 16:04, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Aizen
Possible replacement for Aizen's profile pic. I didn't place it but thats what it was listed for in a incorrect area. --Salubri (Talk)  04:45, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

I vote no, something is... off about it. I just don't like it--God (Pray)  03:53, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

I think it could work because it shows off the mysterious feeling that Aizen gives off. The current one just shows off his face while this one shows a bit more of his body. --Hammer Bro. Mike (talk) 04:07, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

The eyes are off, blurry and horrible. I don't see a problem with the current picture, seriously. Some characters need change (Tosen, for example) and some characters don't. Aizen's picture is from FKT, even if it's from last year (if I recall correctly), it depicts Aizen's usual expression perfectly and the drawing is just perfect (and I'm always complaining about the drawing, so that's quite something). Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  04:56, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. It is certainly not better than the current one. And I don't think Aizen's pic needs to be changed. 17:43, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Tia
I really think Tia needs a new profile pic, as her current one is terrible, especially for a member of the Espada.

I have no experience finding appropriate images and so I think that Tinni, who I heard from Godisme is very talented a making good profile pictures, or one of the other experience users should try and find a more appropriate picture. TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 16:31, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

As you can see from Harribel's talk page, there was quite a lengthy search for a new profile picture. It was generally agreed upon that the picture needed to be of her base form, and a shot that follows the policy and focuses on her head. I agree that the quality of the picture is bad, but unless some new shots are proposed, there's nothing to replace it with. Mohrpheus (talk) 20:49, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

This is pretty much the problem. Her teeth thing is not very flattering. As a result many of her fans have complained about her profile picture before. Below, I have copied objections from August that was on her talk page. People really hate the teeth. She is a bit of odd one out in that she had her face obstructed with her jacket for about 39.5% of the time she was live and in reserrection for the remaining 59.4%. Her jacketless teeth thing was for 0.1% of the time. Just a few panels. However, last time it came up for discussion, all the admins objected to a released image. So unless they have changed their minds... Tinni  (Talk)  00:33, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I saw this discussion coming back from miles away, so I might as well put my two cents in. I have not changed my mind. I still feel that Harribel needs to be portrayed in her base form, as all of the other Espada are. I personally don't care if it's with her jacket collar or not, but even if she was portrayed more with released state, I still feel her base form is more important to portray as a profile image than the form she only took during her one fight with the Squad 10 captain. I'm not opposed to a high-quality replacement, but I am opposed to a release form pic as her profile pic. Arrancar109 (Talk)  00:42, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * The problem is not that people don't like the teeth, the problem is that the current pic is very low quality. Tinni, you are always very good at getting high quality shots, could you see if you could get a higher quality version of the same picture--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  00:36, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you think that'll help, here's my best shot. Tinni   (Talk)  01:49, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

OMG. Her picture is just horrible. Couldn't you guys get a more high-quality picture than this? I am a Harribel fan but ever since she appeared on the anime, I was hoping she can get a better drawing. I will find a new picture for her primary picture and I do hope that you guys, especially the admins, will agree with me. Sorry. I just can't stand this. I mean, she already have a bad anime-drawn Resureccion, I don't want her profile pic to be worse.Agate genbu (talk) 16:10, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

its nothing to go crazy over, but i agree, the pic is low quality and needs to be replaced. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 09:00, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and updated the pic with Tinni's higher quality version. Noticeably better, that's for sure. Mohrpheus (talk) 02:05, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well I always opposed the change of her previous pic, since I've always said the anime crew messed up the drawing of the teeth. It's not that the teeth are bad per-say, if you see the manga they look quite amazing, but the anime adaptation is terribly done. The new higher quality pic is not that better. As much as it is higher quality, I think the picture in itself looks even worse than the previous low quality one, due to the position of the bangs on her face. It may be a small thing, but personally, I think it affects the picture terribly. If I had to make a suggestion, I'd go back to the first picture, the one with her jacket on as a profile picture, both because it's higher quality, it's better drawn, she looks better, and she spends more time like that than without her jacket, and leave the jacket-less one in her appeareance section. Of course, I know there's zero chance of this happening, I lost that "battle" last time this was discussed. But I agree with Arrancar109 that the profile picture has to stay in her base form. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  02:25, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

If we cannot agree on a jacket less profile pic then I would support going back to a jacketed pic--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  02:34, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Well we can do a picture swap. Put the teeth picture in the appearance section and the jacket picture as the profile. It would make Harribel consistent with Aaroniero Arruruerie, who has a masked picture as his profile and the mask-less picture in his appearance section. I guess I'll swap the pictures for now and we can keep talking and see if anyone comes-up with a better idea. Tinni  (Talk)  03:06, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I'm in support of that since, in all of her appearances outside of the FKT battle, she had her jacket on!! Also, I agree with Lia, Harribel looked awesome in the Manga but the Anime, which i prefer more times than not, just messed up her frightningly sexy appearance!! But obviously, Anime pics are better but for the profile picture, I'm going for the jacket too!! I mean, we don't have an adult picture of Nel as her profile picture because, even though it is her true form, she is seen mostly as a child!! SunXia (talk) 22:52, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I can settle for that then. Technically, zipper-down is her "typical" appearance, since she spends most of her time with it on (even when she doesn't have screen time). So it'd be just like Aaroniero's case. Mohrpheus (talk) 00:24, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Kenpachi Zaraki
You know I didn't want to start a discussion on this without a proposal, but seeing how I heavily defended the pic in the past, I'm going to sing a different tune. As much as I like Kenpachi's current pic, and as much as it perfectly suits him (I can probably go on and on about this, lol), he's technically battle-worn. We all know that he does not have a blood gash on his chest all the time, so this pic should be replaced. I think there are some proposed images on his Talk Page, but if there's a good replacement pic out there, we should post it ASAP. Aside from the shots already on his Talk Page, if there's anyone who has any suggestions, I'd like to see them. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  00:52, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, here are all of the old discussions. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  01:01, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it's time for a new Kenpachi picture. The one on the front page is from the SS arc.--Shinitenshi 05:39, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I'll ask Arrancar109 if he can get a newer & better one. Minato88 07:37, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * So is he going to get a newer picture anytime soon? --&lt;3 Noel 00:09, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Sorry that I was a bit "impulsive" but I have placed a newer image of Kenpachi. If someone else has a "better" one, please feel free to replace it. Mr. N 19:39, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * You know, I'm going to throw my 2 cents in: I don't see a need to change the image, as I think it's been a perfect fit since day 1. However, since we've been doing this with other characters, I don't see why we should keep Kenpachi out either. I did revert that image that was put up, but only because I think we can still find better. So, in other words, I did take it down, yes, but I don't think we should give up searching for a new profile image for him. I'll keep my eyes open for a new image as well. Arrancar109 22:58, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * There is very good reason to change his pic. The art style has changed drastically since SS so there is little reason to keep a picture from SS. Tinni   (Talk)  04:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with a new picture of him, but I think the original one is still fine and suitable for his style and personality. I dislike the new one that's oddly squished and has the distracting spiritual energy around it. Twocents 01:55, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's because of the freaking glitch and lack of judgment that I am SEVERELY against "updating" existing images. And I am seriously aggrevated that I can't fix this without having to duplicate the current image. I'll give it a few hours. If no change, I'm uploading a duplicate image of his old profile pic and leaving it there. Arrancar109 02:03, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Totally. I think that if people want to update images, they need to upload them under different file names and get community input. I tried uploading the original picture again, but it doesn't seem to have worked. ;-; Twocents 02:16, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * What about these two, they're the only good ones with his eye patch on in Hueco Mundo which has better lighting than the new arc:-- SalmanH  (Talk)  10:02, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like episode 201 and picture number 2, but I still find the current profile picture to be preferable. Twocents 23:46, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * The picture from episode resembles him a lot,I think.That's the one that should be added. Mojito96 22:36, December 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't decide between the two here, but it's obvious that the picture should be changed, the current one is to low quality and it's a very old picture from like, what is it 200 episodes ago? --07:58, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll have to agree. Though, if I had to choose, I'd pick Door #1, considering it has a full-on shot of his face. Maggosh 04:28, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Heh. I know that this topic is rather old and that it is highly unlikely for the profile image changing anytime soon (seeing as the current profile image from the Soul Society Arc seems to be a perfect fit) but I'll just put this other candidate from Episode 196 if anyone feels like continuing the discussion. ^_^ - Mr. N 18:42, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's good but I was hoping for something more recent. Here's one from Episode 249. Forget the subtitle, if it is selected, I'll track down a non-subtitled version of the picture. Tinni   (Talk)  04:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know. The episode 249 pic doesn't quite show his usual maniac self. He looks like a nice guy. I'll have a go at some pics myself. <font color="dark grey" face="Candara">BlazeUchiha <font color="red" face="Eurostile">(Talk)  12:06, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * ^^Scratch that. Didn't see the pic on the article. It's perfect. Don't change it. Seriously. <font color="dark grey" face="Candara">BlazeUchiha <font color="red" face="Eurostile">(Talk)  12:08, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

As I said, ignore my previous objections to replacing the pic, as it actually should be replaced, since he's technically battle-damaged in it. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  01:01, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I don't usually support changing a profile pic for the sake of changing it, but Kenpachi's has bothered me for quite a while. Not only is it quite old (Soul Society arc, ouch), but as Arrancar109 said, he is battle-damaged in the picture, which has always been something that we have used to filter out potential pics for other characters. In addition, the focus isn't really on his head, and this might just be me, but the quality looks a little dull, but then again, this was back when Bleach wasn't in high def. This might be one of those cases where we need to use a pic from a filler arc - I don't think any of the options on the talk page were like that. Mohrpheus (talk) 01:06, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I really like the current pic as it truly captures Zaraki, if it has to be replaced, I vote for 201 but I don't know if it is admissable seeing as there is a slash on his shoulder. Though, isn't he normally battle damaged? The two canon times he has really fought were against Ichigo in SS where he get cut up nicely. Second time was vs. Nnoitra where he got cut up nicely--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  01:13, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I love the current picture, it's sooo Kenpachi. But if you say he's battle damaged, then so be it. I never thought a slash on his chest would be considered battle damage, I thought that applied only to damage on the face, but OK. I'd vote for 196 even if it's a bit old, there's no battle damage that I can see, it's facing forward, he has his default expression and it has a great drawing, and no odd poses or anything like that. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  02:35, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Image request
I think the image on the right already can replace the manga version. Apekiller96 (talk) 07:14, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Which image are you wanting to replace this with? GinIchimaru (talk) 08:05, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe what he/she means is to put this on his page or to replece the manga pic of when he first dons this mask. Tensa Zabimaru (talk) 09:34, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I wanted to replace the manga version of when Ichigo dons his new mask. Apekiller96 (talk) 12:50, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I think the picture might do better in the powers section, to compliment the other mask picture. That way we have a picture of his first (last version) and second mask. Mohrpheus (talk) 13:03, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I gotta agree with Mohrpheus on this one, the picture you want to replace in the plot section not only shows the new mask but also an action shot of Yammy being hit by a GT so i dont think it would be sufficiently replaced by this new picture alone. So i'd go with Mohrpheus's idea. GinIchimaru (talk) 13:16, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and put it up, since it's the clearest shot of the mask, and it actually has the Fair Use tags on it. If a better shot is made available in the future, then we might replace it, but it'll be awhile before that comes up. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  17:22, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

The current manga shot of Ichigo hitting Yammy with GT & new mask does not have a great anime equivalent. There weren't great shots of that fight at all, imo. Any thoughts on a replacement for it? 20:42, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

i wanted to ask if you could use this image instead of the manga one even though it doesnt show ichigoKaran8 (talk) 22:37, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Putting aside the logo etc, it is not a great picture. I think we'd be better off using something else, a different scene. 22:50, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I uploaded a newer version of the photo without the logo and without the white specs that are in Karan8's version but it's not turning-up properly. I don't think the image is half bad in the high definition. It's just that Karan8's version was very low quality that the image looks terrible. Tinni   (Talk)  23:06, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

That's not too bad. I could go with that, though I have no objection to changing it to a different scene if that is what people want. I'll leave that up to you. 23:29, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I'm for the Yammy Getsuga'ed pic. It looks pretty good to me. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  05:50, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

It's not exactly a fair fight; the manga image has two panels, and there's not been such a thing in the anime. The important question is what the more important of the two panels is. Do we really need another shot of another black getsuga tensho? Because there already is an example of the technique from the anime in the Powers section. I vote for the shot of the new mask, since it represents a truly new phenomenon that we don't really understand yet, and since it isn't already pictured somewhere else. Lemikam (talk) 06:48, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Can this image helps you? Apekiller96 (talk) 04:33, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Speaking only for myself, I have a supreme dislike of jointed images. Especially vertically jointed images. No body said that we have to recreate the manga image perfectly. We just have to pick the best image from the anime. The Yammy one is good enough. Tinni   (Talk)  08:57, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I really don't like that combined picture. The Yammy Getsuga'ed one is alright (certainly better than the joined image). My second choice would be Rukia & Ichigo. 21:39, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Heh. My term was used. Anyway, I looked into the scene, and it looks possible to pan the entire shot together (Ichigo performing the Getsuga Tensho and Yammy being hit by it), but unfortunately, it would take someone very, very good at panning images together in order to do it. I tried doing it myself, but it was actually a lot harder than I initially thought. If it can be done, then someone do it, but otherwise, my vote remains for the Yammy Getsuga'ed pic. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  21:42, September 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope, panning is near impossible because of the action lines. I did the best I could but... Tinni   (Talk)  08:55, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hm. At this rate, we might have to settle for Yammy just getting hit by the Getsuga, but it just doesn't seem right without Ichigo. Perhaps we should just use the one with Ichigo and Rukia; we typically use the anime equivalents, but in this case, it just doesn't seem like it'll work out. Mohrpheus (talk) 13:05, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Cataloguing
Place any images that are to be catalogued in the Image Galleries here.

Omake Image Gallery
I would like for an Omake Image Gallery setup to go with Omake Segments article. We have a number of images from omakes that have been uploaded for feature picture and/or personal use and I think an Omake Gallery could useful. Tinni  (Talk)  23:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Volume Sketch Gallery
I think it's a good idea to have a designated gallery for all the volume sketches. I realize there are few (if any) in actual use, but I believe as the Bleach Wiki we should have all these images in stock. WD  Talk to me  20:33, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Fraccion Image Gallery
I was wondering if there were any plans for an image gallery for the various Fraccion.

I think it would be a good idea as I've seen lots of spare images hanging around the wiki and some are pretty cool.

Also would it be a big image gallery, with all the Fraccion sharing one? Or would they each get individual galleries.

If any admins would like to discuss this, I would be happy to respond quickly. :)TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 22:32, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Each individual Fracción member would have their own image galleries. I don't see what good it'll do to group them all together. It'll be like grouping Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Aramaki's pages together, just because they all serve under Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi. I think the only individuals who will have their pages grouped together are Shinigami and their respective Zanpakuto Spirits with them, generic Hollows, generic Toju, and generic Arrancar. I think that would be it. Every other character would have their own image gallery. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  22:51, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up. :) TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 22:56, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Zanpakuto Image Gallery
I think that a Zanpakuto Image Gallery would be useful. It would have their Sword/Sealed forms, Shikai, Bankai (if any), their Spirit forms, and the video clip of their special abilities, all with seperate galleries, but in the same category.

It could shown them with their masters, or seperately, but a Zanpakuto Image Gallery would be really useful.

All zanpakutō are in their respective shinigami's pages. Such as Byakuya's page has pics of his sowrd sealed, shikia, bankai and different bankai forms along with gifs of his abilities and Senbonzakura's spirit.--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  19:14, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I think there is merit in this request. We could have an image gallery that is the sub-article of the Zanpakutō article. I think it would be nice to be able to see all the different zanpakutos in the one gallery. Tinni  (Talk)  19:38, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
