Hiya! Thanks for the help, but I took matters into my own hands and dealt with the issue myself :) The image has been deleted from my wiki and I forced the site to use an image already on our wiki via the mobile home page. If the image is somehow still floating around, I think only Wikia staff can see or access it via extra settings on their end. Either way, I have email proof showing I advised them of the issue and tried to resolve it but that they looked the other way so ultimately, if an issue does come up with the Dragon Cave website or the original owners of that artwork, I can't be held legally responsible as I can demonstrate I did everything I could to rectify the situation.

Yeah, I'm very familiar with copyright laws as well as I'm also an artist, that's why I really took it on myself to get this situation fixed- frankly, it's degrading to our profession that companies like Wikia take a policy of "use it until the artist says otherwise" instead of working to help uphold copyright laws as they should be. I was going to keep pushing the issue but after talking to another friend of mine who's very familiar with Wikia, he said it wasn't worth pursuing as he sees this happen all the time across other wikis.

Always nice to meet other biologists from around the world :D I specialised in behavioural sciences, but I've always had some interest in paleo and geo sciences- have a small collection of fossils in between a large collection of crystals & rocks :P
