Forum:Artwork

It's been a while coming (a couple of years or so?) but I think it's time we come to a decision about some vaguely important matter since, for once, someone besides me and Joe and Triforce are working with it: artwork. Here's the facts... for all the games up to Ocarina of Time, there are several different sources for artwork, such as manuals, region-specific guidebooks, and stuff. Here's where the problem begins with choosing what to feature, and how to feature them. Here are a few options I've thought out.


 * 1) Stick with one of the sources (opting for optional resources whenever one source doesn't have the artwork we need).
 * 2) Feature all of the sources, being consistent with making sure all images from all sources are uploaded. Here arises another problem in that we obviously need to choose one of the sources to use for the infobox... however, which one?
 * 3) There was supposed to be an option #3 but I got tired and forgot about it. Hell, what am I doing thinking up all this stuff alone anyway, huh? Do I look like some kinda thinking... up... stuff machine to you? Egotistical git.

As for my own opinion, I prefer suggestion #1, and I elect the manual artwork/optionals, since it's the closest thing to official artwork there is (it might actually be; I dunno) and it's not as... incongruous with likenesses to actual in-game character design (although Marin's... incongruities are not a thing to be ignored) as the other ones. And obviously, further ideas will be promptly ignored greatly appreciated. -- Auron  Kaizer !  20:34, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
