Images where the original artist has not been contacted

• File:Tapir_man.jpg: credits bionictoast, the source is seemingly this reddit post.

Unknown original artist

• File:Mouse_man.jpg, used in rodent man. No artist credited.
• File:Animal_people_prev.jpg, used in animal people. No artist credited. The image is spread across the Internet, and other people outside this wiki also mention the fact that the original artist can't be found.
• File:Large_rat.png, used in large rat. No artist attributed, even though it is uploaded with Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 license.
• File:Gray_parrot_man.jpg, previously used on grey parrot man, and credited Kitty Eva'ros, though this track seemingly only leads to a Pinterest user of the same name with a bird-person album, and Pinterest accounts are seldom sources. The image does not appear on tineye reverse search engine.
• File:Recluse_spider_man.jpg: credits Jim-Cacclabando-Jr, but neither this person or the source of this picture could be found.
• File:Dwarf_temple.jpg, found in temple: credits Kim Sung Min. The only thing I could find on this was this Pinterest post, by image searching "dwarf temple". Kim Sung Min may or may not be the name of the original artist, it also being the name of an actor makes the search difficult.

• File:Sedimentary_layer.jpg (photo) Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0, yet doesn't attribute anyone. Reverse image searches find results on stock photo websites, but all links appear dead. The photo is taken from a well-known sandstone formation, so finding a replacement picture from Wikimedia Commons would be an easy task.
• File:Dwarf_magic.jpg. Unused image. Claimed license Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, but there is no attribution.
• File:Dwarf_book.jpg might be from Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Book of Grudges (3rd edition), based on Warhammer wiki. Claimed as a videogame screenshot.
