Talk:The Magician

?

Is it just a coincidence that Alesmansay is Pig Latin for 'Salesman'? Like the Grolgoth salesman perhaps? --iHeckler9 16:55, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

He grants Electoons and bonus levels for payment in Lums and Tings. I'm pretty sure that's what makes him a salesman. —Spiraldoor 17:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the new image of the Magician that Spanex recently created – should we start removing the backgrounds from all character template pictures like this? I think the previous image with the Magician against the dark background and pink floor was better, but I figured it would be interesting to hear what everyone else has to say about it. Which style of picture is better for the templates – this or this? —Spiraldoor 15:41, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Wouldn't the new kind of picture be considered as cropped? Also, MarioWiki does not seem to "cut" the background in their pictures so I would stay with the backgrounds. --Haruka 16:10, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure how the image was created; you'd have to ask Spanex. I suppose it's sort of a slippery slope when you start allowing people to construct semi-official images from sprite-sheets. —Spiraldoor 16:14, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, the artworks made with droolie's templates aren't official at all, but we're trying to create them based on screenshots to make them look as exact as possible. However, I can't dare to create a "semi-official" artwork for the Magician without asking first, because he's a really important character, but at the same time requires an updated picture for the profile template. By the way, the cropped picture looks great, but I think the original is better.--Sergiomonty 17:26, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Another thing is that Rayfan's been claiming that the picture of the Magician we've been using this whole time is stretched. Is this correct? He's always looked that way in my copies of the game. —Spiraldoor 17:29, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
