{{Byzantinefire Talk|normal= But it gives me an excuse to make the images my own.}}

{{EO|time=18:28, 14 June 2014 (UTC)|talktext=But these images are '''not''' yours. I personally feel like taking all this artwork and making it transparent detracts from the "officialism" and original glory of the pieces in question. Making renders and sprites transparent is one thing. Doing it to artwork, however? I don't find it at all necessary. I guess it's because when one makes a render or something extracted from a game transparent for use on the Wiki, that's one thing, because the game is pretty much available to everyone; anyone can take a render of Donald Duck out of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and pose it to create their own render. But a piece of artwork '''belongs''' to someone. What you're doing here, to me, is equivalent to taking Vincent Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'' and removing the background so you can only and more clearly see the stars and landscape he painted. Maybe the Keyhole and Disney Wiki want the ''Kingdom Hearts'' artwork transparent, but I personally find our images to be fine. I see nothing wrong with leaving the artwork the way it is, since that's how it was released to the world: in its original, non-transparent form.}}
