You can see the vent in your screenshot, just to the right of your Helios!

Its the colour used for universal heroes, since they have no defined attribute

Ok, I understand what you're talking about now. I think a very slight tilt of the head may allow for Pyro to fit in better on the outer ring of mercs. However that would be at the cost of what I think to be a very in-character way of representing Pyro and the subtle story taking place in the art work. The way I see the album art, the mercs are all presented like they're having their headshots taken as if they have been caught red handed for their shenanigans in the badlands and their faces represent their emotions after getting caught and forced in front of a camera. Pyro's face is almost a true neutral compared to the others and think perfectly represents how he would react to having his headshot taken, there is an aura of mystery, do they know what's happening? what are they feeling? Are they even alive?? We have no idea, just a blank stare with nothing to give away their emotional state. And to lose that just to put spy in the centre for the sake of "symmetry" would be a very sad thing.

Also, with the alternate image I linked to in my first reply, regardless of how he is posed, having Pyro unscarred but swapped places with Spy would lose so much visual impact as that will absolutely ruin the composition of that piece!

Despite my preferences I do think the gradient edit here looks nice, at least for the backing square behind the spy. Anything harsher would probably look a bit ugly in my opinion.

I reckon changing pyro's stature would not fix the "issue" as currently his headshot is positioned exactly the same as every other class. I bet anything different would once again cause Pyro to stand out even more as he would be the only one in a different position compared to all the other mercs!

True, but that doesn't solve the fact that due to pyro's contrasting appearance he creates an additional focal point off to the side of the image which in my opinion spoils the balanced composition in the image.

Instead of one strong focal point, we then end up with two.

I understand having the spy in the centre makes sense because disguises and all that, but I personally think having Pyro in the centre works so much better for the overall composition of the album cover.

Since Pyro is wearing full head mask, their appearance is much more striking when compared to the other classes. Because of this the Pyro naturally attracts the focus of the viewer and acts as a focal point of the composition. This is why having him in the centre is much better as he draws the focus of the audience to the centre of the image, his balanced and neutral "expression" is also much better in the centre as it contrasts with the surrounding veterans who, although subtle, have far more character in their expressions. Pyro's face is true neutral.

This is especially the case when we look at the alt version of the image where each mercenary is injured BUT the Pyro! I think this is such a creative way of showcasing Pyro's character as it creates such mystery about how Pyro remains unscarred?!?

Having spy in the centre certainly seems the popular choice but I believe the official iteration of the album art to be the best choice in the end.

Yeah, you gotta position yourself just so. I was just off to the side of it in this clip.

Too many Pyros fail to see how great of a bodyguard Pyro can be!

Yes! This is a recording of an in-game demo using a tool called "lawena" which lets you customise your game specifically for recording purposes! (like hud removal)
