Dear artist,
do I understand this right that you painted the picture, and have the regular rights to it? If so, I would like to inform you that somebody sells this picture as part of a stock art bundle at drivethrurpg.com
drivethrurpg.com/product/24669…
The vendor operates under the name of "Arcana Stock Art". I would like to request if you gave this vendor the rights to sell this picture.
Kind regards
Kai P.

Well, you should get into contact with wikipedia.org as well. It lists this very picture of yours under a kinda "open source" license. I think somebody got "smart" and tried to collect pictures from wikipedia to "sell" them as stockart on drivethrurpg.com. Please get into contact with drivethrurpg.com and wikipedia.org. I hope they will clarify this mistake -quickly-.
oh, and by-the-by: please CONSIDER to sell your pictures yourself as stockart (perhaps on drivethrurpg.com). You artwork looks good, why shouldn´t YOU make money with it by selling "non-exclusive usage rights" to indie publishers?

Wikipedia contacted me to use this image and I gave my permission. The image can be used but not for profit. I will consider selling my illustrations as stockart. Thanks for the suggestion.
