Description

A two-dimensional black-and-white line illustration depicting a fictional Veritech Alpha Fighter in "battloid" mode from The Robotech Role-Playing Game Book Five: The Invid Invasion, part of the original Robotech role-playing game series published by Palladium Books. The artist credited for this illustration is Kevin Long (his identifying signature, "Long", appears in the lower left corner of the illustration). The illustration copyright is believed to belong to Kevin Siembieda and Palladium Books (May 1988); and Harmony Gold USA, Inc./Tatsunoko Production Co., Ltd. (1985).

The image is derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the artwork taken from the original source wherein it appears. The creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images, whether appearing here – in the manner and for the purpose described below – or elsewhere, is still held by the same party, that being the original owner, artist, or publisher. Claimed as fair use regardless.

Portion used

The entire illustration, originally measuring 8.75 in (22.23 cm) width by 9.75 in (24.77 cm) height (corresponding digital capture measured 840 px by 936 px scanned at 96 dpi), comprising a relatively small portion of the commercial product as a whole.

Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for identification and commentary but lower resolution than the original illustration. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.

Other information

Use of the illustration in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. Use of the illustration will not affect the value of the original work or the body of work to which it belongs, neither will it infringe upon the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies of this image could not be used to produce or distribute illegal copies of the source's primary content in part or whole, whether for personal use or purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, to the detriment of the original copyright holder.

Purpose of use

The image serves as a representative example of the artwork created by illustrator Kevin Long for the Robotech role-playing game series from Palladium Books, in the context of critical commentary about the artist and his work. The image makes a significant contribution to users' understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original work, namely the artist's ability to provide and be compensated for illustration services and the publisher's ability to market books and other media featuring these illustrations to the public.

Replaceable?

The image is not replaceable by free content; any equivalent image would also be under copyright, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
