File talk:Nico Robin Portrait.png

The new Pic
It looks like a fanart

Of course you know, this is an image war.
They're both good portrait pictures, so let's just ignore the eye color and go for whichever one is better as a portrait. After all, they're both right. Ryuzakiforever 04:54, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Age difference
This new portrait is fine, but there's something that bothers me. This is her 18-year old self from Film Z, yet she is normally 30. I don't mean to nitpick, and I know the differences aren't obvious unless you pay close attention, but still, isn't that a little misleading ? I would be in favor of reverting to the portrait from chapter 699, or using a portrait of her 30-year old self from Film Z. What do you think ?Totoofze47 (talk) 18:16, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Manga until we get 30 year old anime. 18:26, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

OK, I'll try to find a suitable image from the anime. In the meantime, I'll revert to the portrait from chapter 699. Totoofze47 (talk) 18:31, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

I just found a more suitable image from Film Z, I'm uploading it as I speak. Totoofze47 (talk) 18:36, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

You can't tell the difference. 18:47, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

As I said on your user page, yes, you can tell the difference. They're subtle, but they're still there, and they are misleading to those who can notice them. That would be like using a portrait of pre-timeskip Luffy on the Corrida Colosseum template, it doesn't represent the character well. I know I sound picky, but I just don't see why we can't shift to a more accurate image.Totoofze47 (talk) 19:07, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

I got a better image so ok. 20:08, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Edit War
Keep the appearance up to date. The eye color is not important. Genocyber (talk) 03:48, June 17, 2013 (UTC)

"Once again an astounding logic from Genocyber! I just hope he can keep up like this."

And one again, stupid comments with Sewil acting like he owns the place! Genocyber (talk) 03:25, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Sewil does not act like he owns the place but he does abide by our rules... MasterDeva (talk) 08:54, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Sure Deva, he's a real class act. I make a reason why the anime is better, and I get stupid attitude in response. Keep up the good work on being biased!. Genocyber (talk) 10:03, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Instead of keeping the default version during an edit war you keep reverting! Are you mental or simply oblivious to that fact? As for the being biased part, remember this? That's as biased as it can get. MasterDeva (talk) 10:26, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, you were serious, sorry.

Well, the manga image is after the time-skip, so it is her latest appearance. The eye colour is important, since it's either canon or not canon. You wouldn't use Luffy if his hair was white in the anime, now would you?

Or maybe you would... Yes, you probably would.

Deva: I had good reason on that. I personally found that one you linked to just look much prettier with the fishes. Added more to her dancing, but that was just me I guess...and it seems most of the time unless I revert, nobody will pay attention to something I will bring up in a talk page.

Sewil: Remember when Kuma was orange? Colors change. Sometimes they're worth noting, other times its so minor a detail that its not worth it. Robin has different colored eyes on the colorspreads...but yet they are black in the comic, so that must mean we should just use black/white since its the original right? Use some common sense. If something is changed in the anime, its not a mistake. Would it really kill you to just write in her appearance back they are a different color in the manga? Genocyber (talk) 23:20, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

Her major eye color on the spreads/color walks/other stuff is brown. Don't know why you're dragging the manga chapters which are black & white into this but I guess that's to be expected from you. So basically your logic is that we shouldn't use he real eye color because it's a minor detail? What? It looks better in the manga. Better depth, higher detail, correct eye color. But you wanna use the anime because... why, exactly? Oh, that's right. You're biased.

What do you mean REAL color??? We've had 600+ episodes, 11 movies of the show and yet somehow your saying that this is all some elaborate mistake, that the colorists have been doing all this time and the eye color is still wrong...because its done differently in a few colorspreads? This better depth you keep saying...the show is in color! Color....with shadow and lighting! Ooohhh...what more do you want? Genocyber (talk) 02:56, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

To be fair, Oda originally had Robin's eyes colored blue. That's why they're blue in the anime. However, later he changed it to brown and stuck with it. Every colored image by Oda from the Jaya Arc and on, including movies, depicted Robin with brown eyes. So the brown eye seems to be her more official color scheme. However, I don't think her portrait needs to be "official", as it's specifically used for recognition. Her anime portrait is still a portrait of Robin. It's still the same character, and it looks much better than the manga's tilted angle and sketchy quality. I'm for the anime. 04:42, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

It's not a sketch and it's not titled, she's just not looking forward, her head is frontal at least 90%. How can you seriously say the quality is sketchy? Have you ever seen a drawing ever? There's a difference between hand drawings and computer drawings.

@Genocyber: I just noticed your response to me. It's one thing to upload an image because you think it's pretty but it's another to senselessly revert to said picture THREE times for no good reason. Especially after it has been specifically pointed out to you that the illustrated person in question is hardly visible at all! How can you call that "good reason" is beyond me. This has happened multiple times already. Most of the "arguments" you give only serve to insult people's intelligence. Either you believe that we must be really stupid or you just never learn and it looks like banning you did nothing to correct that behaviour either. I'm aware that "common sense is not so common" but this is ridiculous. Whether you do it on purpose or not whichever option we choose from it still is a lose-lose situation. MasterDeva (talk) 17:24, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

I don't even know why your bringing that up now when its irrelivant. I'm not touching that picture anymore, and that was a good while ago. I am trying to make my case here, which seems that no matter what reasons I have, I just get ignored and called an idiot around here. Genocyber (talk) 21:52, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

Since you do not understand why I brought it up I'll elaborate to help you undertand. I wouldn't have posted the above if you hadn't written "good reason" but wrote "reason" instead. Most of the time you give no "reasons" when you argue with people, but simply ignore the arguments of others and present your opinion as fact. If you think people are treating you like an idiot, maybe you shouldn't act like one and maybe stop giving them an excuse to do so in the first place. In place of attacking the person try to attack the argument instead, not the other way around. MasterDeva (talk) 10:33, June 23, 2013 (UTC)

You're going off topic. This is about the picture here, not any others. Are people around here so stubborn that something so fickle as eye color will effect the avatars picked? I said it before and said it again. Just write in the color differences in her appearance bio, because this isn't important to keep dragging on time and time again. The manga picture makes it look out of date when the anime is going strong, and she's kept up the appearances without major change. I want to call a vote to decide this, since this is what we need and has not been done. Genocyber (talk) 11:27, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

How is it off topic when you started talking about getting ignored? Did you not want a response to that?

>genologic

It's not out of date since she didn't change appearance, we went over this already. The manga is far more detailed and with the correct eyecolor but you just wont accept it since you don't read comics apparently, so sure, have a poll. Glhf.

If you want to make a poll, do it correctly. State exactly when the poll will close, add the category, say that people must have 300 edits and be registedred for 3 months etc. 16:07, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

It's closed one week after it is opened, the timecode will be given whenever it opens (then you just use math). The category is not to be added UNTIL it opens, but I'll add the 300 edits 3 months stuff.

Actually, image polls usually last 5 days.

Anyways, I don't think we need a poll. A lot of people have said they support the manga version, and it seems to clearly outnumber the anime supporters. To those who want anime, why not try to find a suitable Film Z image? (I'm going to attempt to do so.) Most of the manga people support it because of the eye color, but I'd support a Film Z image if it had good quality. 22:36, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Not that many stated it anywhere. The eye color really doesn't matter that much. Just stupid manga vs anime crap all over again. SeaTerror (talk) 02:01, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

It's canon color scheme vs. non-canon actually. 02:22, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I think most of the anime people could be waiting for the Manga vs. Anime forum to finish. 18:02, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Let's just open the poll and get this over with. 13:39, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

I say hold back on the poll. I think finishing Forum:Manga vs. Anime for portraits should be what decides what we do for this image. This image is central to some of the arguments in that forum, and deciding to poll it separately undercuts the value of the forum. We need a wide-reaching decision from the forum, so if people want to do something about this image, we should force them to actually post in the forum. We should cancel this poll ASAP. 14:17, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Poll
This poll will decide which image to use. The poll opened on June 27 at 14:00 UTC and will close at July 2 at 14:00 UTC. To vote you must have at least 300 edits and you must have been registered here for at least 3 months.

Use the anime image Use the manga image
