Cropping sections of an image

Sometimes official artwork of an article subject in a certain game appearance may only be known to exist within a group artwork or promotional image, rather than an official solo artwork. For example File:SMA3-Japanese Flyer.jpg contains unique artwork of many different characters arranged together as a scene. In such cases, users may have the incentive to crop the desired section of the full image to focus on a single subject, and then upload it as a separate character artwork. This is strongly discouraged. The reason being that it's not a good look when we have the full image being split up like a jigsaw puzzle and placed on pages as separate images. Unless the artwork can be properly and professionally edited to look like a solo artwork, then it cannot be used as an image separate to the scene it came from. For example, the Beanie that appears in Yoshi's New Island was not given an official individual artwork. However, it is shown in the Big Beanie character artwork. Because the background to the image was already blank, and because the Beanie was edited without affecting the original image, then it is acceptable to be uploaded as an individual character artwork.

In contrast, cropping an image is not allowed when the subject is the main or part of the main focus of the image. An example of this is the artwork of King Boo from Luigi's Mansion. Even though a Bowser suit can be seen behind King Boo, cropping the image to only show King Boo is not acceptable, as the image is already focused on this character.
