SCP Headcanons

Not a Headcanon- Untitled 2004

Links below my summary are sources and more in-depth explanations, please go check them out

My summary:

So SCP 173's image- real name Untitled 2004- is a copyrighted image, and SCP 173's author Moto42 did not have permission to use it when they wrote the article.

Izumi Kato- the artist of Untitled 2004- has allowed the SCP Foundation and fanbase to use the image for non-commercial purposes.
As time goes on and the SCP Foundation grows, managing copyright gets harder and stricter, with images being removed/replaced to keep up to date with CC rules.

Now, there is discussion and voting for the removal of Untitled 2004 from the article, with no replacement image.

No agreements have been broken, nobody's forced to do this, the image just doesn't fit the wiki's CC rules, and they want to give back the image to the artist.

While no new image will be added in it's place in the article, there has been discussion of a gallery for fans to share their own interpretations of 173.

I too am going to come up with my own interpretations of 173, and try to not draw the original design as much.
Not drawing the original design isn't mandatory, last I checked, I just wanna try and come up with my own ideas for what they may look like.

I don't really know how to end this chapter besides, thank you Izumi Kato for letting us use your artwork.
Removal of Untitled 2004 is said to occur on February 13, 2022, if discussion goes well.
Either way, can't wait to see what incredible things people come up with for SCP 173.
