| I see some mangakas don't have a photo here, instead it's a picture of some drawn character. What kind of pictures can be submitted? Would a Twitter avatar be ok? How about a picture from "about me" section like this one? -> https://i.imgur.com/gm4U5oF.png Or when the author represents himself with some chibi character in the afterword, can it be used here? Also for one person all I could find was a photo with their hand in it, haha (taken during some interview). Would that be accepted? |
| Yeah, a lot of mangaka do not have pictures; this is why we allow self-portrait (drawn characters). If the twitter avatar is a self-portrait, it should be fine, as well as chibi representation of himself. But there are times wherein the mangaka simply draws a character from any of his or her series – which we do not allow, so just watch out for that. kuchitsu said: Like literally just a hand, or we can see a glimpse of the person? If it's the former, I'd rather not, haha. x_xAlso for one person all I could find was a photo with their hand in it, haha (taken during some interview). Would that be accepted? |
| But will those non-RL pictures be added if the author already have the RL one? I remember trying to add a "self-portrait" of http://myanimelist.net/people/6579/Shuuzou_Oshimi which he used in manga and it had colored version in the anime at the ending credits, but seems it was either buried in submissions or silently denied. |
| It was denied by another moderator. I don't see a point in keeping self-portraits if pictures of the people themselves are made available except for special circumstances, e.g., Hiro Fujiwara's and Takashi Nishikawa's. |
| Hmm. From a slightly philosophical point of view, the way an artist portrays himself can be just as, if not more interesting than the way he actually looks. It reveals a bit of personality. I feel like such things might be worth accepting, at least when the picture limit is not reached yet so it's not like we're losing anything. |
| There are plenty of people who do not have IRL pictures. Hatsune Miku has to have an anime picture since she isn't a human anyway (her seiyuu has her own page) and siro has a picture of one of his characters in front of his face in his main picture. |
