A cropped image of the character Princess Serenity, as drawn and copyrighted by Naoko Takeuchi. It was published in her Original Picture Collection Volume II and was found at Manga Style!.

This image is being linked here. Though the picture is subject to copyright, I, Masamage, feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low-resolution scan from a Sailor Moon art book;
• it does not limit the copyright owners' rights to sell the wider copyrighted work in any way;
• it provides an illustration of this character (Princess Serenity, a past-life form of Usagi Tsukino) in the series, and is to be used solely for this purpose.

This image is an illustration of a character or characters in a comic book, video game, or animated television program or film. The copyright for it is most likely held by either the publisher/producer and/or artist(s) producing the work in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of character artwork: for commentary on the character or characters in question, where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag should only be used for character images. Do not use it for other purposes. To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template. Fair use true
