:Overall, the two factors are the level of detail in the model and detail visible from the image. In the case of Cortana here, the two images are both equally detailed, since they are formed from the same model. However, more detail is ''VISIBLE'' from the closeup pic, since we're closer to it and thus can see it better. That's why I feel the closeup pic should be kept.

::I must correct you on the case of the Prophet of Truth: I actually added that image myself. The reason I did this was not out of obedience to any particular policy, but because it was new, and I thought that sly smile of his personified his character very well, a fact that links to my points below. | |||
::On the subject of Ripa 'Moramee; a much more detailed, close-up image can easily be obtained from a variety of cinematics within ''Halo Wars'', trumping the concept art's "detail" as it is pre-rendered, near-photo realistic CGI. Yet, the concept art remains as the main image. Why? Because it looks cool. He's got a sword and everything, it's awesome. It portrays him very well (I was also unaware it was concept art until you pointed it out to me). I cited John, Thel, Usze and Jerome because, it's like half a foot from being full body, and also, because a super close-up of these characters can be obtained very easily, but these full bodies remain the main images because they look better, they suit the characters better. | |||
::It is for the same reasons I think Cortana's main image should be that of her full avatar. I find it suits her better, it suits the article better. It says more clearly "Cortana is a computer. She represents herself like so" more than the close-up portrait. I am in the process of rewriting this entire article because I feel it does not do Cortana justice, I want her to be a featured article like John. That also extends to the main image, which I find currently does not do her as much justice as the full body one I am suggesting. | |||
::If we can't settle this through discussion, perhaps you would be more inclined to resolve the issue through a vote? - [[File:Black Mesa.jpg|28px]] [[User:Halo-343|<span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 128%;">'''Halo-343'''</span>]] [[User talk:Halo-343|<font color="green">('''Talk''')</font>]] 18:00, 21 October 2011 (EDT) | |||
