Summary edit

Non-free rationale on Erich Kettelhut edit

1. No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the design style of the article's subject
2. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
3. The image is only used once and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
4. The image has been published outside Wikipedia; see source above.
5. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
6. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
7. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
8. The image helps show the reader the importance of Kettelhut as an art designer, the importance of his role in film and significantly improves the quality of the article.
9. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
10. The image is needed to represent the artwork and design skills of the subject, which written works would find difficult to describe.
11. The image is needed to represent the output and design style of Erich Kettelhut, of one of his most famous cinematic creations, a feat which brought him to the attention of world cinema.
12. A replaceable free image of the event is not possible as Kettelhut died in 1979 and thus free use of the image would not be applicable until 70 years after his death (2049).
13. Although near impossible to observe from the image provided, Kettelhut's signature is on this piece of work under the left hand large body of writing and above the cross-section of the dragon. This is mentioned to show that this is the work of Kettelhut and not his fellow designers Otto Hunte or Karl Vollbrecht who also worked on the film's design.
