I'm not entirely sure where this comes from. I found it on Pinterest and then imaged-searched for a source and found nothing. I've found it in Google Images, but that just leads back to Pinterest. Its too well made to just have come from nowhere, but its source is not immediately available. I imagine its apart of the public domain (mostly because I have no other idea where it could have come from), but I don't know for sure. --Belial (talk) 05:56, 9 December 2021 (MST)

Public domain means the author has either died for more than 70 years or it is something that is utterly generic, like shapes. I highly doubt this to be either considering it looks like digital art made maybe from a game or something. Unfortunately, pinterest is a trove of stolen and unsourced pictures. I recommend finding something sourced as the wiki is trying to crack down on copywritten pictures that were erroneously uploaded without permissions.--Yanied (talk) 08:21, 9 December 2021 (MST)
It would be better to find a new image with a source you know and then use an external image holder (provided on the class preload) rather than upload it. I can't make heads or tails of this image origin so it will be deleted with other unattributed uploads eventually.--Yanied (talk) 13:57, 15 December 2021 (MST)
I did a little more searching and found out where it comes from. Apparently its a unit from a mobile game called Heroes of Camelot. I don't know the wiki's image usage rules off the top of my head, so if I just provide a source to where the image comes from is that fine? If its not I'll just find a new one. --Belial (talk) 05:56, 16 December 2021 (MST)
Alright that falls under fair use then (phew). Next time just take care not to use unsourced images that are copyright. If the art is held by an individual artist, in particular, it is better to use the external image holder in general. --Yanied (talk) 07:00, 16 December 2021 (MST)
