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)
