It seems like the "only accept canon depictions" is the rule to go, since it seems silly and arbitrary, and in any case, far less important than "only use free content". Artist depictions would be appropriate in this case, just like almost any other case where we only have fair use images to use.
WP:NOR supports the "only accept canon depictions".
We've had this discussion in the artistic depiction thread. Making an artistic depiction based on multiple images or real life is no different from writing a text description based on multiple sources. By your rationale, all Wikipedia could do would be to stitch together quotes from outside sources and claim fair use.
