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.
 * 3) Improvement.  10:49, May 22, 2019 (UTC)

Shūkurō Tsukishima
Tsukishima's profile image has always stood out to me as a placeholder that we kinda just forgot to replace - it's at a considerable angle, is set during dusk, and most of all is drawn kinda...flat (note the complete lack of depth around his mouth/neck area and his weird face proportions). He only appeared once during the daytime that I can think of, but I found something good during that part - here, while there's still an angle, it's not as bad, his face looks more on-model, and the man finally has a CHIN. Also, you can see a bit more of his head. Seems an easy choice to me.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:23, April 25, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:23, April 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Both of them are poor, but the new one is better in terms of the background being quieter.  10:49, May 22, 2019 (UTC)

Yumichika Ayasegawa
The original picture is of great quality, but it's a little weird being so zoomed out to include his upper torso and having him looking away/kinda sad. I found an alternative one episode over focused entirely on his face and with a slightly better expression, in addition to being brighter.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:00, April 21, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:00, April 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) The current one is fine, maybe could do with being cropped a bit, but its fine as it is.  10:49, May 22, 2019 (UTC)

Shūhei Hisagi
Hisagi's current profile image has served us well for a while, but it cuts off a lot of his hair and gives him a sharp face - time for something better. My proposal is from the mini-chapter set between invasions in the Quincy Blood War, so it could function as a post-timeskip image if we really want to keep the FKT pic, but regardless it's completely frontal, shows his entire head, and is drawn properly/in Kubo's later style.--Xilinoc (talk) 23:46, May 7, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:23, April 25, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Neurtal. Current one has the top of his head cut off, so that's not great. I'd prefer something from the anime has his appearance hasn't changed much, just have all of his head in it. 10:49, May 22, 2019 (UTC)

Keigo Asano (pre-timeskip)
Keigo's current image feels a bit too...small for me. We really don't need to see that much of his torso, and it's a zoomed-out shot so cropping to his head doesn't leave much detail/px flexibility. On top of that, we can probably do better for his expression. Luckily, I found this shot from the first season of the anime where he's drawn better, is more in focus, and has a better expression in addition to meeting the facing-forward and quality requirements.--Xilinoc (talk) 11:35, June 7, 2019 (UTC)

Shrieker
Shrieker's current profile image has always bothered me a bit, mainly because 1. Rukia's visible hand in the corner, 2. not being able to see much of his body clearly unlike the other Hollow articles, and 3. the angle giving him the illusion of hair on top of his mask, on top of the style just being a liiiiitle off-model. Thankfully, I came across this shot in his second and last (canon) episode where it's only him visible, you can see his entire upper torso and Hollow hole, and he's standing up straight so you can see his mask clearly and properly.--Xilinoc (talk) 12:35, July 20, 2019 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer, I support this change.--Xilinoc (talk) 12:35, July 20, 2019 (UTC)

Giselle

 * 1) How about this one? I think it fits better as a front facing shot and not with her mouth open, compared to the current one. Plus it gets her antennae hair and hat in frame too.--TodenEngel (talk) 06:07, August 4, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) We voted on this [here a while back (the original file was deleted for lacking FUR, which this one has) and decided against it for a variety of reasons, all of which stand as far as I'm concerned.--[[User:Xilinoc|Xilinoc]] (talk) 12:53, August 4, 2019 (UTC)

Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi

 * 1) This had been overlooked for a while, but I'm in support of Proposal 3 for showing everything we need to see and being wide enough to properly fit the template, though I wouldn't be opposed to Proposal 1.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:43, August 13, 2019 (UTC)

Tatsuki Arisawa (pre-timeskip)
So I've never quite been satisfied with Tatsuki's pre-timeskip profile image - while it's definitely better than what came before (no offense, Yyp), it's got that trademark Season 1 trait of the hair looking too "blank" and not quite reflecting the style evolution of later arcs/seasons, weird bloom lighting, Tatsuki herself facing at 3/4ths instead of head-on and wearing a...strange expression that isn't quite neutral enough. However, during my Bount arc combing I discovered something that improves on every aspect: here, Tatsuki's hair matches its later appearances better and has some detail, the lighting is natural, she's facing the camera directly and actually has a neutral expression. Can't think of any points against it.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:56, August 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) For reasons stated above.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:56, August 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) I agree with Xil's arguments here. The new one does look better. Timjer (talk) 07:45, August 18, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) Better picture.   22:06, August 18, 2020 (UTC)

Balgo Parks
Nothing earth-shattering, but this shows more of his head and doesn't have him blushing (in addition to showing the current version of his...choker), so I say we start using it instead.--Xilinoc (talk) 13:13, August 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 13:13, August 25, 2020 (UTC)

Bruno Bangnyfe
So while the current profile for Bruno is better than his original black-and-white shot, I'm not a fan of how...dark it is, indoor lighting and all that. But this week's color spread provided a great alternative, hand-drawn by Kubo and full of vibrant colors. Let's swap it in.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) Theres no question for each of these ones.  10:51, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed. FutureEeveeKing13 (talk) 13:52, September 14, 2020 (UTC)

Tronbone Takkinen
Finally, an upgrade for this guy. Color vs. black-and-white, clear vs. text bubble, focused and centered vs. off to the side - need I say more?--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * No, you don't; this pic is much better in almost every way. The only detracting thing is the fact that, well, Milieve's crotch is visible as well... Timjer (talk) 08:06, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Theres no question for each of these ones.  10:51, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) Absolutely an improvement. FutureEeveeKing13 (talk) 13:52, September 14, 2020 (UTC)

Sullivan Squire
Eyes open, bright, and a bit more zoomed out. Something better will definitely be available once the film releases, but for now I think this is the best we've got.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) Considering we actually get to see Sullivan's eyes in this pic, and we have a bit more color here. Timjer (talk) 08:06, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Theres no question for each of these ones.  10:51, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 4) Brighter + open eyes = agreement. FutureEeveeKing13 (talk) 13:52, September 14, 2020 (UTC)

Cinderella (pre-molting)
While I prefer to use full-body shots of non-humanoid characters where possible, e.g. Hollows, Cinderella's introductory shot in the manga has, well, Macy in the shot and Cindy herself still phasing into view, so I think it's best to use this shot from the movie that focuses on her head/neck and illustrates the color palette of our favorite serpent bone thingy.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 06:07, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) The face is the most important part of a profile image, and at least this one does not have Macy in the centre. Timjer (talk) 08:06, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Theres no question for each of these ones.  10:51, September 14, 2020 (UTC)
 * 4) I am having agreement. FutureEeveeKing13 (talk) 13:52, September 14, 2020 (UTC)

Yuzu Kurosaki (pre-timeskip)
Whoops, totally forgot to set this up after I uploaded the image. So Yuzu's current pre-timeskip profile image is, uh...kinda stuck in the quality of the anime's early days, with a super-angular jaw and ears as well as massive eyes with a small nose and mouth, on top of having the top of her head cut off and Raku (a non-canon character) partially visible - put simply, she looks like an alien. The proposal I found doesn't remedy ALL of that (namely the jaw) but it's a lot more in-line with the later character looks of the series and is proportioned better, so I'd much prefer to use it instead.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:42, September 27, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:42, September 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) Dont know how we ended up with that as her pic when she is not a rare character but it should be replaced. This will do just fine.  10:03, September 28, 2020 (UTC)
 * 3) Makes sense to me. Timjer (talk) 20:32, September 28, 2020 (UTC)

Yoshi
Yoshi's current profile image is okay, but her overall head seems a little slim compared to her normal design, and the whole thing's kinda small - that's why my proposal is a closeup with a rounder, more accurate version of her design (and with her smiling, since general character expression is a precedent for changing these and she's usually not frowning).--Xilinoc (talk) 07:15, September 28, 2020 (UTC)


 * While going through episode 82, I found an alternative that's even better: not only does it have even more detail and truly proper proportions for Yoshi's face (bye bye, large forehead), she's also got that trademark malicious smirk.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:00, September 28, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) Proposal 2, now that I've found it.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:00, September 28, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) Option 2 is better, though it was not a big deal with her old one anyway.  20:28, September 28, 2020 (UTC)

Gō Koga
While it was a step up from his original profile image, Koga's current main image has never really sat right with me, mainly due to the muted colors from being a nighttime shot (to the point where you can barely tell his non-mohawk hair is red), the top of his hair being a bit cut-off and all those shadows on his face. Now, so far I haven't found any daytime shots of this guy that would suffice for a profile image due to quality reasons, but I've found an alternative that I think makes improvements in all fields of issue; he's more brightly-lit even though it's still nighttime, his entire head is in the frame and his face only has shadows on the very edges.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:00, September 28, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:00, September 28, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) Better lighting.  20:28, September 28, 2020 (UTC)

Billy Banx Jr.
Thanks to Sccq98 for grabbing this from the livestream. Don't think I even need to go into detail on this one, it fits all the criteria and, aside from being a 3/4ths view instead of completely frontal shot, is a perfect replacement/upgrade for the manga image, imo.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:00, September 28, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:00, September 28, 2020 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree, it works much better. And if the movie does give us a better frontal shot, then we can always replace it again then. Timjer (talk) 20:32, September 28, 2020 (UTC)
