Summary edit

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A comparison between Ron Cobb's concept artwork for the video game The Space Bar, and the final visuals used in the game.
Author or copyright owner	Boffo Games
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	An article by Steve Meretzky on character development, in a section dedicated to graphics production on The Space Bar
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	The Space Bar
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The contribution of concept artist Ron Cobb and how it converted to The Space Bar's final graphics. Cobb's input was a main selling point for the game, and Boffo Games made major business decisions (such as signing with publisher Rocket Science Games) specifically to secure his help. The comparison between the concept art and final graphics serves to illustrate both how Cobb's art infuenced the game, and how Boffo's subcontractors (also discussed in the article body) interpreted Cobb's designs.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	n.a.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	Cobb's contribution came via a visual medium, and existing textual sources that describe this contribution are not detailed enough to allow in-depth commentary in the article.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image is extremely small and low-resolution; it is useless for printing or other illegal reproduction. It is the only example of Ron Cobb's work in the article, and consists of a single piece of concept art he produced, out of potentially hundreds. The single frame of The Space Bar beside it derives from a game that can output many hundreds of frames per minute, and is not even a complete screenshot: the interface and other in-game elements have been cropped away.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	n.a.
