Proper Painted Variants
Hey there, I just thought I'd let you know that the wiki has a very particular style about how to do painted variants. Try to only show the item you want to paint in your images, with character model details (like a head or legs or a torso) showing if it's absolutely necessary; and only those details. If you need to show a torso for a shot of a jacket to make visual sense, then add the torso, and the torso only. If it's a shoulder animal, try to only show the animal. The fact that it goes on the character's shoulder is already conveyed in the infobox image at the top-right of the screen. To get a feel for how the wiki showcases its painted variant images, try looking at how pages of similar items showcase their painted variants, and see if you can copy how they did it. If you need special files to paint an item (like models of only character sections), they'll usually be listed in the Paint Rotations page -- and for more general help with painted variants, stop on by the Tutorial page. -MarioMaster2008 (talk) 01:16, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
