File talk:Arlong Portrait.png

Which One?
So, before this gets nasty we should resolve this here. MasterDeva (talk) 01:29, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. I was about to start a thread here anyways. Work it out here guys.

My Input: I like the Klobis/Genocyber version just due to the improved animation and the fact that the other one looks weird. Of course, a better one from EON can be found. 01:32, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

MasterDeva version doesn't really look like Arlong. Klobis' version is HD and simply looks so much better and detailed.

The newer one looks nicest. It has better animation and more high quality artwork. Genocyber (talk) 01:39, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

The one from episode 43 is more suitable in my opinion. We get a complete look of Arlong's head and face, including his trademark ushanka and his hair all drawn in detail and flawlessly. It looks more complete compared to the other ones. MasterDeva (talk) 01:40, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

We get a complete look of Arlong's head and face, including his trademark ushanka on the current one too.

In Genocyber's version the ushanka is cut on top and Arlong's fin is missing while the one from Rayleigh92 lacks detail and Arlong's hair. MasterDeva (talk) 01:49, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Well he seriously looks like a pedophile in that one in my opinion. Also, it looks like he is about to fight (I haven't watch Episode of Nami). MasterDeva's is original and it doesn't look as weird as that other one. If possible find a better one with a better view and position from Episode of Nami. 01:50, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

He doesn't look like a pedophile. That's just your dirty fantasy. The old one doesn't even look like Arlong. It's lazy artwork and shouldn't be used.



The old one DOES look like Arlong if we are to compare versions the one uploaded by Rayleigh92 looks like lazy artwork in contrast. Oh and I just noticed, while Calua didn't express himself very well I find it insulting to imply that it's his "dirty fantasy" or the very least rude. MasterDeva (talk) 02:12, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks MasterDeva. I was doing something else that I am just typing this now. Also, I'm a girl, lol. Anyways, Wtf? How is this a dirty fantasy of mine? That's stupid, I'm pretty sure I don't like pedophiles and that wouldn't be a fantasy of mine. Anyways, he looks like a pedophile by his position that looks like he is about to attack (kidnap?). His eyes, the way he is looking... It just seems creepy to me out... Also, his evil creepy smile, his mouth is opened as he is about to say something creepy (such as "hey little girl" as I mentioned before). Well the old the one is of course older, episode 42. It's from 2000. Not as lazy as what they are doing today, they didn't have the technology as we do today to make it look today. It's a 12 years difference. 02:19, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

His eyes are more widen in the volume cover. It's mostly the eyes I'm concerned about. And I was obviously kidding about her having a dirty fantasy. If you like the old low quality episodes so much, try to find a better one where his eyes aren't so messed up.


 * Sorry about the gender confusion Calua, it was out of habit. There aren't many female editors in our wiki and I got used to treating anyone as male. I know that you are a female but the force of habit is something difficult to deal with. MasterDeva (talk) 03:08, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

His eyes are not messed up though and if you check the archive of File:Arlong Arc.jpg you'll see that they are not so much different. As for your fallacious argument about me liking the "old low quality episodes so much" (or was it ironic?) I don't understand the point you're trying to make. About the alternatives, there is no other image in the old episodes that shows Arlong's head to this extend. Alternatives with the top of his ushanka cut and his fin missing do exist but this one gets points for being more complete. MasterDeva (talk) 02:34, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

I searched through the archive and on both the manga images his eyes are larger than the one you prefer here. Also, it's not important to show his full ushanka. It's just a hat. I'm pretty sure there are several images where his head is visible. I prefer the episode of nami one though.

Most images of Arlong's face have him not facing the front or having his hand on the side. As for the eyes, the point was that there was no faulty art for his eyes. He just narrowed them a bit because of his irritation when facing Luffy hence his expression. While I can see your point about the hat while settle for a picture less detailed? Sure his ushanka isn't that important but between two images where the difference is in the amount of details, I figured, the most detailed one would be preferable that's all.
