If Nathan wouldn't give this image a name connected with the book and if
he wouldn't mention it in the txt-file would there be room for a law
suit?
Is the similarity with an existing book enough to justify a law suit? 
This would prohibit a lot of pictures. Showing a strong barbarian hero
in my rendering, would this allow the owner of the Conan copyrights to
sue me?
If I remember my patent and copyright course there is some room left for
creativity. 
It's a term hard to grab but I think it is connected with the
originality of the idea.

Well, this is a minefield.
