Images where the original artist has been contacted

Images where the original artist has not been contacted

Unknown original artist

  • 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: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. Similarly to the previous image, this one seems so widespread it's impossible to find the original artist.
  • 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. The original image appears to be at ArtStation, as all pinterest posts link there, but it was deleted.
  • File:Pickaxe_transparent.png (photo) claims Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, yet doesn't attribute anyone. The image appears a lot on different websites, at least as early as 2012, but no author is seemingly ever credited.
  • 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.
  • File:Magma_flow.gif (animated), used in magma. Claimed license is Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0, but no-one is attributed. Oldest use of the file on the Internet seems to be from user ineedtostealthis on microblogging website soup.io. Unfortunately, the website shut down on 20 July 2020, so this can't be verified, and it's possible that they aren't the author either.
  • File:Gold_bars_old.jpg (photo), used in gold. Claimed as a non-free web screenshot. Oldest hits on reverse search engine link to Mining Journal, and based on the file name, this article might be where the image originally appeared. However, it is behind a paywall.
  • File:Dwarf crossbow.jpg, used in crossbowman. Claimed as Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, but no-one is credited.
  • File:Giant_echidna.jpg, claimed license is Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 with no attribution. The image has been on Animal Pictures Archive from 16 September 2005, but the website says that the copyright belongs to the artist. However, the website rather unhelpfully states that the author is unknown.
  • File:Vermin-BloodGnat.jpg: No license claimed. The image appears on Chronicles of Arn wiki. However, the wiki itself states that "This Wikia uses a number of images and concept art found all over the internet."
  • File:Rats2.jpg (photo): The Telegraph credits Alamy. However, there's thousands of rat photos on Alamy, and this one couldn't be found. Claimed license is Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, but no-one is attributed.
  • File:Giant octopus.jpg (photo): claimed license is Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, but no-one is attributed. The image has been posted a lot on pinterest etc. during the last few years, but the image is at least five years old. No author was found.
  • File:Leather types.jpg (photo) is a very widespread image on the Internet, but there are no mentions of whence it originates. Claimed license is Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, but no-one is attributed.
  • File:Giant aardvark.jpg: unused photo, previously used on Giant aardvark. Oldest found instance of this photo is a modified image from 2007 on Stupidedia (German counterpart to Uncyclopedia), which was later marked as a copyright violation. Claimed on this wiki as Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 with no attribution.
  • File:Gypsum plaster.jpg: claimed license is Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 yet no-one is attributed. Appears on many Turkish websites from 2016 onwards, but no clear origin could be found.
  • File:Quicklime.jpeg might be from a photo from Shinde Lime Chemicals' Indiamart page. Claimed on this wiki as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 with no attribution.
  • File:Farm_view.jpg, used in farming. Claimed to be public domain as a work of a U.S. Government Agency. No hits on reverse image searches.
  • File:Wool texture.png: based on reverse image searches, probably originates from Miss Amara, although the website doesn't use the image anymore. On this wiki, claimed as a Non-Free Web Screenshot.
  • File:Hair2.jpg might be from DNAlegal, though it seems like a stock photo. Claimed on this wiki as Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 with no attribution.
  • File:Loon women.png, used in loon man. No hits on reverse image searches. (As a side note, neither creature is a loon woman. One of them is a whooper swan and the other is a barnacle goose). Claimed on this wiki as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 with no attribution.
  • File:Narwhal man.jpg. No results on reverse image searches. Claimed on this wiki as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 with no attribution.

  • File:Parakeet man.png. No results on reverse image searches. Claimed on this wiki as Creative Commons Attribution with no attribution.
  • File:Firefly man.png. Appears on Pinterest with a dead link. Claimed on this wiki as Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 with no attribution.
  • File:Rope.png, used in chain, appears on Png Valor, uploaded by user Pixel. Pixel claims that the image is free to use as long as attribution is given, but they have also uploaded clearly copyright infringing images, so the origins and the license of the image remains unknown. On this wiki, claimed as a Non-Free Web Screenshot.
  • File:Metal types.jpg, used in metal, might be originally from clipart.com, but it has been removed from there by now. On this wiki, claimed as a Non-Free Web Screenshot.
  • File:Giant turtle.jpg (unused, previously used in gigantic tortoise). Claimed to be public domain as a work of a U.S. Government Agency. Reverse image searches mostly find Pinterest links.
  • File:Kangaroo man.jpg. No results on reverse image searches. Claimed license on this wiki is Non-commercial.
  • File:Coyote man.jpg: credits orf, but neither this person or the source of this picture could be found. Claimed license on this wiki is Non-commercial.

Claimed license on this wiki is Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 (with no attribution).

Probably fine

In following cases, the original artist is likely happy with having their art on DF wiki under certain conditions. They should still be contacted.

Fixed

The following files previously appeared on one of the lists above, but their licencing issues have been fixed.
