The US generally does not recognize moral rights. In this case though VARA might apply: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Artists_Rights_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Artists_Rights_Act The artist has the: * right to prevent the use of one's name on any work the author did not create * right to prevent use of one's name on any work that has been distorted, mutilated, or modified in a way that would be prejudicial to the author's honor or reputation * right to prevent distortion, mutilation, or modification that would prejudice the author's honor or reputation In this case, since they're keeping close to the original vision I doubt there's a VARA claim. Today, most places that would commission a piece like this would make artists sign a VARA waiver. Edit: also, I'm not a lawyer. I just play one on the internet.
