[edit] Summary

This is a reduced / cropped digital scan I made of a widespread Conan sketch / painting by artist Mark Schultz. I believe that given the reduced size of the image, web resolution colors and encyclopedic usage, this image may be utilized for Wikipedia under Fair Use. Note that this same sketch / painting, albeit at a much larger size, may be found on Google, Amazon.com and public websites promoting / illustrating the work of Mr. Schultz; in particular, his Conan illustrations for Del Rey.

After carefully browsing the Wikipedia copyright categories, I have selected "a single panel from the interior of a single issue of a comic book" as being the closest to what this image qualifies as. More correctly, this image is a panel not from a comic book, but a digital scan from The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian, an illustrated novel containing the unedited Conan stories of Robert E. Howard.

Feel free to update the licensing category I selected for this image if you believe there is a more appropriate Wikipedia copyright category.

[edit] Fair Use Rationale for The God in the Bowl

  • The image is a popular depiction of the subject matter in question.
  • The image is used here for encyclopedic purposes and in no way limits the ability of the artist(s) to market their product.
  • The image is presented as a low resolution copy of the original.
  • The image was released to the media via the internet to promote the original product in which it appeared.
  • The image is arguably significant and was created by a notable artist: Mark Schultz.
  • No free alternative can exist given that Conan and Hyboria are trademarked and thus protected.
