File:ON-quest-The Tower Sentinels 02.jpg

A really great depiction of how far ESO has come in its character animations. This isn't even the main focus of any scene in the related quest, it's a small gem that the devs decided to put in as a way of building up the overall atmosphere of the situation. The scene itself is frightening, the Daedra are choking a sapiarch as he's hanging off the edge of a balcony to an endless abyss below, moments away from death; it's just an overall great shot.

• Support: As nominator. —The Rim of the Sky (talk) 19:07, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose: I can see the appeal of this picture, but for me the dull lighting and smallness of the main subject make me hesitant to support. Also, is it just me or does the angle make the bench and banner look very isometric/out of place? —Dillonn241 (talk) 09:09, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose: Good image, but an angle a little bit closer to the action might be better, though I don't know whether or not that is feasible. I agree with the previous opposition as well on the lighting. Forfeit (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2019 (GMT)
• Oppose: Too dark and hard to look at for me when it's a thumbnail. That makes it very hard for me to want to show this off on the main page where most people will see it as a thumbnail. -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 18:28, 29 February 2020 (GMT)
• Oppose: Too hard to make out what is going on in the scene. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 16:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Consensus: Oppose. Opposed by four out five particpants. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 16:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

File:ON-creature-Hulking Werewolf.jpg

A very large enemy captured completely in frame, which can be pretty difficult in dungeons, as not many people get the chance to photograph enemies like this without spell effects or combat cues getting in the way. This Big Chungus is making his way down town, walking fast, straight into your heart.

File:ON-quest-God of Schemes.jpg

This is a shot I could never dream of getting. The scene this was taken during moves quickly. This screenshot was taken in mid-air and while in motion, but the artist manages to maintain the perfect camera angle to bring us a shot that isn't angled too high or too low. That alone is impressive, but the sky is the perfect color to complement the subject without distracting from it, the figures contrast in color to give your eyes a treat, and there's no noise to take away from the primary subject matter. This is an example of an exceptionally balanced image, and an action shot, no less. Both figures are entirely in frame. Not a single pixel of screen real estate is wasted; both Molag Bal and the player character are placed in a way that balances the left and right side of the image perfectly, ensuring that no space in the composition is wasted.

Molag Bal is a massive figure, but he's further in the background, allowing whoever took it to get a full shot. He's in motion, making him a more interesting subject to look at and granting him more of that artistic "weight". The player character is red, in stark contrast to the blues of Coldharbour and the antagonist. Furthermore, the protagonist's closer proximity to the camera grants them extra weight, allowing them enough prominence in the image to keep Molag Bal from stealing the spotlight entirely. The sky in the top left gives your eyes a break, and is one aspect that ensures that there's no background noise to distract your brain with. The empty space around the subject in the top left adds to the harmony; there's something important going on here, but the shot isn't cluttered.

This is a stunning composition, and one that must have been very difficult to get. There's no way I could have gotten both the protagonist and the Daedric Prince perfectly in frame on my first try, while in motion, no less. Next, The Rim of the Sky is going to get a shot of an important character's death in some quest line that unironically looks like a Renaissance painting.

• Support: As nominator. --MolagBallet (talk) 03:29, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• Support: It tells a story and does it well. --Talyyn (talk) 05:57, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Support: I'm generally opposed to the idea of a screenshot representing the player and all of their kit, looks, etc, because I'm preferential to the Bethesda take on things where the appearance of who the player is is deliberately left vague and not personified because the player can be anyone, but I appreciate that's not always possible in an MMO and in some cases like now it's advantageous to show a shot like this of the player in that final face-off, and it's certainly incredibly well composed considering all you've described went into it and it would be a shame not to show such a good image off. -Damon ^{talk ♥ edits} 16:54, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: A well-timed and perfectly serviceable image, but the Daedric shield on her back is clipping through the player model. —⁠Legoless (talk) 00:46, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
• Support: Having examined it, I don't think the clipping is too noticeable to be an issue. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 16:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Four supporting, one opposed. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 16:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

File:SR-creature-Gogh (combat).jpg

Spear of Bitter Mercy summon power.

• Support: As the nominator, I think it's quite a good shot showcasing the ability of the spear, with both looking in the same direction and at a good angle Imperialbattlespire (talk) 11:43, 11 May 2020 (GMT)
• Support: I was quite fond of the previous version of this image but the new one blows it away. The framing is perfect and being able to show the summoned atronach like that is very important for the Spear of Bitter Mercy lore article. It's on par with any other Skyrim follower combat image now, which is great to see for CC content. —Legoless (talk) 12:11, 11 May 2020 (GMT)
• Support the framing is excellent and it works so well.--Talyyn (talk) 12:45, 11 May 2020 (GMT)
• Support: The lighting is excellent, and I think it would look good as a thumbnail on the main page. – Werewolfvampirre  ^(talk)
• Support: I want to support this, assuming this is the default outfit of Gogh. The only thing that I was worried about is that it is a square image, therefore not following the existing image standards. However, I've once uploaded a 4:3 image, and was asked to crop it to 1:1 to better fit the contents of the image. Actually, I seem to have misremembered that, but I think a different AR is allowed if it better potrays the subject. So that logic would apply here, I don't think it's problematic. ~ Dwarfmp (talk) 03:58, 28 June 2020 (UTC); edited 04:12, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: Iron armour and skull helmet is his default, yes. —⁠Legoless (talk) 18:47, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Unanimous. —⁠Legoless (talk) 15:53, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

File:SR-creature-Ice Wolf.jpg

Depicts a wolf howling with a beautiful background, pretty self explanatory really.

• Support: As nominator. Zebendal (talk) 07:10, 11 January 2020 (GMT)
• Weak Oppose: Not because it is a bad image, but we have had several featured images of wolves and werewolves howling by moonlight, including one very similar to this proposal. However, it is only a weak oppose as they are all still different enough that I wouldn't be mad if this proposal passed. --Ilaro (talk) 13:35, 11 January 2020 (GMT)
• Support: Whilst we have had similar images in the past, this is still a good image and we haven't had a featured image similar in a number of years so I wouldn't consider that an issue. Kiz^{(email - talk)} 16:38, 11 January 2020 (GMT)
• Support: Owoooooooo! Forfeit (talk) 02:13, 26 January 2020 (GMT)
• Oppose Per the above, this image is far too similar to File:SR-creature-Pack Member 02.jpg which was previously featured, and ranks below it by my comparison. Good image - but it doesn't wow me. —Legoless (talk) 02:18, 26 January 2020 (GMT)
• Oppose: I agree with Legoless to a degree. I'm not opposed to featuring a similar image, I nominated an image similar to an older one once myself and saw it pass the nomination, but it was of a reasonably different subject and was, in my opinion, better than the original that I had nominated. This one is too similar to other ones of a similar style of picture, and it's subject is not even particularly bright or pleasing to look at, in my opinion and isn't good enough for the front page. -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 18:28, 29 February 2020 (GMT)

Consensus: No consensus. 3-3 —⁠Legoless (talk) 15:49, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Celestials.jpg

Depicts the warrior, mage, and thief constellations, pretty important in lore. Plus its a trial image which is annoying to take screenshots in. Take into account the fact that 11 other players could ruin a well timed screenshot, this image is nice to consider with that in mind.

• Support: As nominator. Zebendal (talk) 01:30, 29 February 2020 (GMT)
• Support: Excellent depiction and a difficult shot to get. —Legoless (talk) 18:26, 29 February 2020 (GMT)
• Support: Love it, looks great, set up great! Definitely has the potential to be an FI! -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 18:28, 29 February 2020 (GMT)
• Support: Looks good! Forfeit (talk) 05:26, 8 March 2020 (GMT)
• Support: The Celestials are well centered, and the image has a pleasing arrangement of color. --MolagBallet (talk) 02:41, 27 April 2020 (GMT)
• Support: This is a wonderful image! Tib (talk) 10:27, 27 April 2020 (GMT)

Consensus: Support. Unanimous. —Legoless (talk) 22:59, 27 April 2020 (GMT)

File:ON-place-Volendrung.jpg

Great colours on this one, plus it captures a rare in-game event. This image depicts the Artifact PvP mechanic in ESO's Cyrodiil. Obviously these highly sought-after items and don't tend to stick around at their initial spawn point for long.

• Support: As nominator. —Legoless (talk) 02:00, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Without us being given server access, I can't imagine us getting a better image of this. It's amazing and a testament to the hard work Zeb has constantly put into UESP. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 06:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Neat! Forfeit (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2019 (GMT)
• Support: Very nice and appealing visual effect. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 21:36, 8 November 2019 (GMT)
• Support: Very nice capture of an in-game event. Kiz^{(email - talk)} 06:59, 16 November 2019 (GMT)
• Support: Great image for a PvP zone! —Dillonn241 (talk) 05:34, 17 November 2019 (GMT)

Consensus: Support. Full support. —Dillonn241 (talk) 05:34, 17 November 2019 (GMT)

File:SR-creature-Wispmother.jpg

A very neat candid shot, I find it intriguing how it seems like the wispmother is one with the wind in the air. The picture is very old (being uploaded just 7 days after Skyrim was released) so I'm sure this picture could recreated with better graphics in the special edition, but it still holds up very well.

• Support: As nominator. —The Rim of the Sky (talk) 19:07, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Clear visual effects + creature that I don't see too often. I agree that the graphics are just fine even for a 2011 image. —Dillonn241 (talk) 09:09, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Good stuff! Forfeit (talk) 04:32, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Thought it was Legends image when I first glanced at it.--Talyyn (talk) 06:02, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support: -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 01:58, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Clear support across the board. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 08:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Molag Bal 03.jpg

A nice picture of one of the most cinematic scenes in the game, with Molag Bal looking very menacing in his colossal initial form.

• Support: As nominator. --SMcM (talk) 18:08, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose: With half of his head cut off and with blurry textures he's not very menacing. From another angle and in a different pose this character could look lot better, but for now, oppose. Phoenix Neko (talk) 05:40, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: I suppose you are right, I concede that a picture of this same scene with his head fully in view and with the blurry back of his hand less in focus would be better. SMcM (talk) 21:15, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose: It's not bad, but I can't really tell what's going on without looking closely at the picture. Having a player character in the picture is also a minus for me, even if it's necessary in this case. —Dillonn241 (talk) 18:56, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
• Neutral: It's a very great scene, I don't know if this picture captures it the best way, but maybe retaking it from an alternate angle or different timing would help. —The Rim of the Sky (talk) 19:07, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose: Per above -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 01:58, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Consensus: No Clear Consensus. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 08:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Severin Charnis.jpg

Amazing lighting, high graphics settings, excellent framing; this is an excellent action shot of an enemy necromancer.

• Support: As nominator. —Legoless (talk) 20:06, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
• Support: This is something I would like to see in the lore:necromancy name space too. support Zebendal (talk) 21:51, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
• Support: On the fence on this one, but I like it. Forfeit (talk) 03:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Blue flame on reddish background looks good and the image is high quality. The main downside I think is that this is the same pose that most humanoid enemies seem to make so the particular action isn't noteworthy. That said, I'll support it. —Dillonn241 (talk) 18:56, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Per above -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 01:58, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Supported by all participants. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 08:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

File:ON-creature-Mad Architect 02.jpg

A really nice action shot of the Mad Architect using Obliterate during his boss fight. I like the colour scheme as well as how the image captures all those glass shards in mid flight.

• Support: As nominator.--Talyyn (talk) 20:55, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Whoa! -- SarthesArai ^Talk 21:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Unanimous —Dillonn241 (talk) 18:48, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

File:SI-quest-Through_the_Fringe_of_Madness.jpg

A really cool action shot of the Gatekeeper making short work of the adventurers, having just knocked one of them into the air.

• Support: As nominator. SMcM (talk) 00:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Great ragdoll. —Legoless (talk) 01:19, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

• Support: This looks really cool. Tib (talk) 06:36, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Unanimous —Dillonn241 (talk) 00:59, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

File:ON-pet-Netches.jpg

A high-quality screenshot showing all three netch pets together. The reason this is significant is because this requires purchasing all of these limited-time Crown Store pets for use as furnishings. This image resembles the kind of work done in other gamespaces with the use of console manipulation, except here it was done entirely in-game using the furnishing system and cash transactions. It's great to be able to have ESO images like this, and this one is just particularly picturesque.

• Support: As nominator. —Legoless (talk) 20:41, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Good work getting them all together! —Dillonn241 (talk) 06:21, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support: The colors are pleasing and the layout is nice. As mentioned, nice work on getting them positioned. --Talyyn (talk) 12:12, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Netchies! -- SarthesArai ^Talk 21:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Kassandra 04.jpg

This is a very cool image depicting the antagonist of Murkmire ESO DLC and it comes from the last encounter with her. Since this is basically taken during the fight, it is quite an achievement to manage to take this image. Kassandra is normally hidden inside this miregaunt guardian, so it takes some luck (or patience) to capture her in this cool pose. I should know, because I was there and tried! Besides that, the image also has good quality and sharpness. This is definitely one of the more unique ESO images that we have here on UESP.

• Support: As nominator. --Tib (talk) 14:11, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
• Support: A nice image, captures the character in a unique pose and position atop the Miregaunt that makes this stand out. I like the glow of the magic effects from her staff contrasting with the darkness in the background also. --SMcM (talk) 11:33, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Great shot. --Jimeee (talk) 12:44, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support: I'm a little concerned that the color scheme is almost the same as the recently queued Tsofeer Cavern image, but ignoring that this is a well-timed shot and I agree with the other comments. —Dillonn241 (talk) 06:21, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
• Support: Finally some good use for the cavity of the Miregaunts! -- SarthesArai ^Talk 21:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

File:SR-quest-The_Staff_of_Magnus.jpg

This is just an excellent shot. It comes off as eerie and forbidding, and the angle is just perfect.

File:ON-flora-Static Pitcher.jpg

A fantastic closeup of one of the new types of dangerous flora in Murkmire. It's detailed, rich in colour, and makes for a great thumbnail.

• Support: As nominator. —Legoless (talk) 13:51, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support: Great creature/flora image. —Dillonn241 (talk) 13:58, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose: Based on the clipping issue Rim of the Sky brought up, I think this needs to be retaken to be FI-worthy, especially since we have so many at the moment already in line. I don't agree on the lighting aspect, but he also has a point with it blending with the background, which is always something to look out for in these. —Dillonn241 (talk) 05:30, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: There's a lot wrong with this image being an FI. It's fine as an image of its subject matter, but there is quite evidently clipping between the grass textures on the floor and the plant's model. The saturation and lighting are also a bit off, and the closeup view makes it feel like everything in the image blends in. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 05:23, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: It's a decent image for wiki purposes, but the clipping and the overal image composition doesn't make it FI-worthy -- SarthesArai ^Talk 21:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose: This is a solid image but it doesn't seem to be quite worthy of an FI as per the above opposition. Forfeit (talk) 03:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Consensus: Oppose. 4:1 —Legoless (talk) 16:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

File:ON-place-Tsofeer Cavern 03.jpg

I thought this was a loading screen, i.e. something an artist spent hours drawing, but this is actually an in-game screenshot, thanks to Talyyn. With Murkmire just released, I think it's an excellent candidate. I'd go so far as to say we should expedite this one so it's timely, but I'm not sure if there's any precedent for that. If the voters decide that it's appropriate though, we should go ahead and do it.

Just to clarify, by expedite I mean make this the next featured image on 4 November.

• Support: As nominator. —Dillonn241 (talk) 14:01, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support: This looks great! There is precedent to hurry this along if enough support is thrown its way. Forfeit (talk) 04:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
• Support: Fantastic image. Limited by the outdated 4:3 aspect ratio rule of course (like every image) but still worthy of a feature. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 05:23, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

File:SR-creature-Arachnia 03.jpg

A great image from the Creation Club. This one depicts one of unique attacks of Arachnia, a pet from the Pets of Skyrim Creation.

• Support: As nominator. --Ilaro (talk) 20:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: As much as I'd like to see a Creation Club image featured, I don't think this one works well. The whole image is either white or light gray and it's hard to tell what the subject is. The subject itself isn't particularly interesting either. If it has to be from Pets of Skyrim, I'd definitely prefer File:SR-creature-Arachnia 02.jpg, though I think some of Myrwatch's are the best so far. —Dillonn241 (talk) 09:36, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: The image could benefit from being taken again in better weather conditions if possible. As is, while it's a well captured image, it's a bit too dull and void of color to put on the front page. Forfeit (talk) 04:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose: I really respect the scenario going on in the image and I like the timing of the capture, but overall the image isn't very aesthetic or better looking than a lot of other images on the wiki. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 05:23, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

File:ON-place-Clockwork Basilica.jpg

Really nice image of the Clockwork Basilica showing the gears in the sky during dusk or dawn. We never really had an image of Clockwork City and I think this one would be a great way to showcase its beauty.

• Support: As nominator. --Ilaro (talk) 00:17, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

• Support: Beautiful. --Talyyn (talk) 14:02, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support: I like it! This angle does a great job of producing that feeling of looking up at a really tall building. Forfeit (talk) 04:59, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
• Neutral: The building in the image is great to look at and has a super interesting design, but I feel like it needs a better angle than the one given. I know the Brass Fortress isn't an easy place to take pictures in but I still feel like this image isn't the best it has the potential to be. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 05:23, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Overall support (6 support, 1 neutral). —Dillonn241 (talk) 05:35, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

File:ON-quest-The Dreaming Cave 02.jpg

This is an image captured by Vyraesi, our currently most active ESO photographer with lots of beautiful images in her portfolio. Although the story behind this image is also interesting, the reason I'm nominating it is because it has a really unique cinematic effect - just look at Valsirenn's posture and face! There's not a lot of ESO images that have this. Moving on, this image is from Summerset's main story quest line. In this particular quest we venture deep into Spiral Skein with Valsirenn, to find and rescue one very significant character in ESO - needless to say quite an epic adventure. This image deserves to be shown on the main page.

• Support: I'm not sure how this image was even taken. Everything is crystal clear and lined up perfectly. All sorts of things to look at when you see it up close too. —Dillonn241 (talk) 19:09, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support: This is an incredibly cinematic screenshot!--FioFioFio (talk) 19:38, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support: Yep, Vyraesi's images could really get some love. --Ilaro (talk) 20:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
• Support: Are you sure this isn't a promotional image render from ZOS? :-D -- SarthesArai ^Talk 17:12, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

File:OB-place-Aleswell.jpg

A picturesque scene. A pretty countryside village in the foreground with the mountains, Lake Rumare and the Imperial City making an impressive backdrop.

• Support: Super image. A good overview of the town is still captured along with showing one of many great views you can see from that town. Forfeit (talk) 16:22, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support: The lighting is better than a lot of Oblivion images. Definitely worth having on the main page for a while. —Dillonn241 (talk) 00:08, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support: I'm biased. I see Oblivion, I support. —Legoless (talk) 00:29, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support: A nice shot of the village, showing the scale of the world. And as a bonus, no visible NPCs! Echo (talk) 18:54, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: Actually if you squint you can see a farmer (which is actually quite unusual for Aleswell!). —Legoless (talk) 14:32, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
• Support: Pretty good landscape pic for Oblivion. --FioFioFio (talk) 00:21, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Malisu.jpg

An awesome image showing the transformation from True Cat to dro-m'Athra. It's a great companion image for our new Lore:Dro-m'Athra article, but I feel the quality is so good it ought to be featured. If you compare it to the older version of the file (taken by yours truly), you can tell that this image manages to capture the NPC in an interesting pose, and shows off the transformation very well.

• Support: I had no idea what was going on in this image before reading the article, but even without context it was intriguingly creepy. Echo (talk) 17:32, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
• Support: This is the first NPC image in a long while (looks like since 2015 and that was a ghost) and it works! I think for an NPC image to stand out among the thousands there are for ESO, something needs to be happening. And what's happening here hasn't been seen in a previous game: sort of like transforming into a werewolf or vampire lord if I understand correctly. —Dillonn241 (talk) 11:19, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
• Support: I agree with the nominator's words, I remember when I was there exploring the first time and thought that this scene would be a good FI. Also, agree with what Dillonn says (except you're wrong in that we do in fact have a ESO NPC image as current FI :P). Tib (talk) 11:36, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: Oh, I was sure that was a quest image because of the aspect ratio, but you're right that it's categorized under NPC. In that case, we haven't had a 1:1 NPC image in a long time! —Dillonn241 (talk) 12:55, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
• Support: I don't have a lot to say but cool image. Shows emotion that you rarely see from NPCs.--FioFioFio (talk) 00:21, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
