- Reason
- I've been trying for more completeness. So I did all 20 original illustrations. They're scanned at 800dpi, so might look a little weird at full resolution - one doesn't normally zoom in on ink that much - but they're high-quality and I've put a lot of work into them - as in, all of September. It's reasonably consistent - I had to tweak the crop dimensions in a few cases because the images themselves aren't entirely consistent nor rectangular, but, insofar as I could, I kept things the same size.

- Support as nominator --Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:19, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Support, solid set. The blacks are a little fuzzy because of the high DPI, but considering we can get a two meter poster out of these with good quality, rather than just a full page or so, I think that's acceptable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:15, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah. Ink looks a little weird at 800 dpi. The original size is... well, quite easily calculated, actually. 3332/800 by 5140/800, so 4.2" by 6.4", less borders, so not huge. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

- Support - a lovely set and delighted to see them completed. Andrew Gray (talk) 20:46, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
- Support - I pointed out some weird coloring on the borders that Adam fixed, so it's only fair that I follow through and support this here now that everything is all fixed up. Also, while I'm here, I feel the need to point out that the guy in slide 9 looks a lot like He-Man to me... Sven Manguard Wha? 23:19, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
