The Kerrigan pic change topic was made by CJayC during CBV after complaints about Kerrigan's terrible match picture for her upcoming match against Terra.
Archive of the more relevant posts in the topic (mostly the ones posting pictures).
For everybody complaining about the Kerrigan pic...[]
OMG, CJayC Topic![]
CJayC Posted 9/20/2006 7:42:58 PM message detail[]
Find me another then.
Go on.
Round 1 is body shots. There is, to my knowledge, one official Blizzard-endorsed body shot of Kerrigan. That's it.
I could be wrong. With so many people complaining, certainly you all know of some other official body shot of Kerrigan. Please tell me where it is. Surely someone knows of one.
Remember: Official, Body Shot. No unofficial fan art, not the BW head shot.
--- Once upon a time everything was lovely, but that was before I had to deal with people.

From Ikon | Posted 9/20/2006 9:53:53 PM Is anyone seriously looking? and does it have to be her Zerg form, or could it be Terran? I doubt we'll ever find one but that one... that's just bad.
I did.
Grantyed, it wasn't the longest search, but my conclusion was this.
There are 2, and only 2, pictures that fit CJayC's criteria:
1. His Picture 2. The XMas picture.

Yeah. It's Kerrigan from the Brood War ending FMV, but it's impossible to make her out.

Uhh...
Someone who isn't on a Linux machine right now (i.e. me) boot up Brood War and grab a screenshot of the race selection screen. That's a great full body shot of Kerrigan if memory serves.

I think this is a summary of what we've accomplished [reasonably] so far (Through 124 Posts)
3 Potential Pictures:
1. The original pic: [1] 2. The Christmans Pic: [2] 3. The BW Campaign Select screen: [3]
2 I think doesn't really count for it being pretty much a joke by Blizzard, but I think 3 works well.

We need a photoshop wizard to shop that onto a white background, without cutting her leg off. Then it would be perfect.

Done in about a minute or two:

It looks a bit pixelated, so it could do with a boundary pass, it'll have to be shrunk, and it could do with brightening the image too, but I'll leave the actual photoshop image manipulation to Ceej.

Guys, those pics with the white background aren't eligible - They've been photoshopped.
Its the same as if I took a pic, and photoshopped a pair of fake glasses and mustache on it, Its not a legit pic and can't be used.

Villainous M Bison Posted 9/20/2006 8:28:42 PM message detail[]
It is a legit pic. The only thing that has been done is mine is the black background has been removed and replaced with a white background. Your argument is like saying CJay isn' using official art during the sprite rounds because they've been edited out of their original backgrounds that were in when the screenshot was taken.

Changing the background is perfectly legit, given that Ceej changed the background in EVERY pic he's done so far.

MYC's picture is easily the best so far.
The only question, is if it counts under CJayC's criteria due to the amount of touching up it needed.
Villainous M Bison Posted 9/20/2006 8:32:44 PM message detail[]
I think that's about as good as we can get out of that picture...
...Not to be arrogant or anything. I just don't think there's much else we could do that metroid and I haven't tried already.

Well, congrats, Board 8, on proving me wrong. Sort of. I mean, it took a combined effort and some major touch-ups, but you guys managed to come up with a better body shot than previously existed, and for that, you should be applauded.
But you're not going to be.

Oh, and thanks MYC.....unless Kerrigan still loses, at which point...still thanks, just not an enthusiastic one.
Why so much worrying about the winner? I have Terra in my bracket, probably prefer her as a character, and yet I arguably made the second biggest contribution to the photoshop effort next to MYC (prodded people into taking a screenshot in the first place, chose the pose from the animated gif, and edited it to white).
Kerrigan. is. not. purple. Regardless of who I want to win, I didn't want to see that a second time.
