Guys, among all the beautiful pictures updated for Revy : https://myanimelist.net/character/458/Revy/pics
Why chosing the volume 1 manga cover :-(

This one would be perfect instead :

As a cover picture made to show the character, she's by far the best one, to be honest.

She looks more badass in the picture you want, but there is a background. The green shades (because of the neons) are not good too, and create a very bad contrast. Great for a wallpaper, but really not good for a showcase picture in a database.

They are better than the previous one, but still way worse than the current.

In the first, she's slightly sideways, with a background behind her, and there is a large gap with her shadow.
In the second, she's again slightly sideways, and her gun hides a large portion of the right. The gradiant in the background is also bothersome.
In the third, she's completely sideways, and there is a very visible blue shade.

None of these are as clear as the one of Volume 1. She faces the frame, has a visible expression, the background is black, there is a nice contrast between the background and the character, her tattoo is clearly shown, her cigarette and gun are also visible... The only bad thing is the blue shade at the outlines (and a small part of her tattoo), but it's minimal.

Well, i'm no pro of photography tho, and the cover pictures are choosen by mods. Even if there is these criterias to take into account, at the end of the day, it's the mods who choose which one they want to see displayed. Maybe one of them will agree with you rather than me.

We are talking about a picture used to showcase the character in the database here, tho. They have to show the character in the most generic way possible, while also having what physically demark them. (Just like how it's done IRL with identity documents.)
