Talk:Brian the Ood
Rename
Brian doesn't appear in PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times, he's only described as part of River's Dark Times Times news article. While other species and characters could be said to appear as part of these historical accounts, Brian's entry is a simple description of his character, so it's clutching a straws to claim it merits an "appearance". Hence this should be moved back to Brian (Tales of the Dark Times). Danochy ☎ 00:22, October 16, 2020 (UTC)
Infobox image
The current image... doesn't look great. Here are some suggested replacements. None of them are really ideal, but I think it's worth discussing regardless. Since Brian's face isn't exactly unique, my view would be to show as much of his body as possible. His visual uniqueness stems from his tuxedo, so it makes sense to include that. Similarly, Mr Ball is a vital aspect of Brian's identity, so it would also make sense (at least to me) to include it in the infobox as well.
From PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times. The current infobox image.
From AUDIO: He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not. Not a close up, but shows the all important "Mr Ball". Perhaps a little bright in the upper left corner.
From PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead. Could be cropped a bit better, but here's a close-up if that's preferred.
From PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead. This time a wider shot, to show "Mr Ball" and the tux.
From AUDIO: The Minds of Magnox. Looking to the left, visible tux and "Mr Ball".
A differently cropped version of the previous image.
Of course, feel free to alter the crops in the above images if anyone feels they can be improved. Danochy ☎ 00:22, October 16, 2020 (UTC)
- I've temporarily placed #2 in the infobox, as the first of the more T:GTI-compliant images. This is a temporary measure, and the final image will be decided on through discussion here.
× SOTO (☎/✍/↯) 02:28, October 16, 2020 (UTC)- I've added to the gallery an image from The Minds of Magnox that seems to me to be better than the current one, considering it's widescreen, looking to the left, and has both the tux and Mr Ball visible.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elib876 (talk • contribs) .
- It's a good source, but it seems a bit wide-shot. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:02, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
