I've discussed it with Hazel on Discord, and I think there is a misunderstanding here, as I believe that the Volume 3 and Volume 4 profile pics are most certainly not just image manips from screenshots from the show nor the Volume 4 and 5 character artworks released by Rooster Teeth.

I'm posting my reasoning here so that it's also out in the public, so everyone can have some understanding as to why I'm putting the images back.

We have never once seen Weiss or Yang posed the way they are in the Volume 3 profile pics. If we have, then I am mistaken and would like to see where in the show they posed like that.

As for the Volume 4 profile pics, they are the same poses as RWB's Volume 4 character art and Yang's Volume 5 character art, but they are the 3D models from the show, and they also have some differences.

Ruby:


 * Character art - 2D drawing; Determined look on her face, actually grabbing hold of her cape's collar


 * JP profile pic - Ruby's 3D Maya model; Smiling, just has her fingers curled instead of grabbing her cape's collar

Weiss:


 * Character art - 2D drawing; Lips parted with her teeth showing, hair actually flows around to her other side


 * JP profile pic - Weiss' 3D Maya model; Mouth open, hair doesn't flow around to her other side

Blake:


 * Character art - 2D drawing; Wearing her bow, Gambol Shroud is sheathed in its cleaver, body completely facing forward, ribbon twirled around her with her left hand holding it


 * JP profile pic - Blake's 3D Maya model; Not wearing her bow, just Gambol Shroud's katana, body is angled, no sign of the ribbon

Blake's seems to be the most different out of the four.

Yang:


 * Character art - 2D drawing; Not wearing Ember Celica


 * JP profile pic - Yang's 3D Maya model; Wearing Ember Celica

So, overall, there was just some confusion and misunderstanding on the part of some of the staff. Hazel and I discussed it and decided to put them back.
