Is it me?
This image, as it appears on Ace's page... Has choppy outlines! Its not just Ace's, Vivi's is exactly the same. Please can someone confirm I'm not imagining things here. One-Winged Hawk 09:55, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Ace image
Alright, so this is pretty straightforward. original or proposal?

I'm in favour of the proposed for a few reasons. 1. It's an actual screencap from the anime, and not artwork from a credit scene of a movie. And 2. It showcases Ace's tattoo in the proper colour scheme. It's true that it doesn't show as much of his body as the original image, but the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion and it's still the best image of Ace that can be found in the anime, given that there really aren't a lot of images to choose from. --Mandon (talk) 00:12, July 27, 2015 (UTC)

Original is vastly superior due to actually showing his body, while the suggested version is only from the chest up. Also, it lacks the hat. 01:59, July 27, 2015 (UTC)

Going by the argument people used with the Sabo image discussion, those things are already shown in the gallery section. What matters most in an infobox is conveying a character's appearance accurately. In the infobox, Ace's freckles aren't present, and his tattoo is green. Ideally yeah a full body image would be preferable but unless Ace appears in flashbacks later down the line, which is unlikely - these are our only two options, and neither one is perfect.. so it all comes down to what's more important. 99.9% of infobox images on the wiki are screencaps from scenes the actual character is in, rather than a still image with a black background from the credits of a movie. For the sake of consistency I think that's another reason the proposed is a better choice.

However - if we come to an agreement that the hat, belt, and log pose aren't as important as a full body shot, I'm sure the Marineford arc would have lots of valid options too. --Mandon (talk) 03:15, July 27, 2015 (UTC)
