Oh, and I forgot to mention the main reason I started down this path in the first place. Critters are pretty awesome. And talented. It's important to me that none of them feel like we have stolen or appropriated their work, and equally important that they feel appreciated and valued for their contributions to the community. That's why I want to obtain permission and properly credit the artists, regardless of whether we could legally get away with "fair use" or not.

Pretty soon, probably this weekend, I'm going to go on a contacting blitz to reach out to all the artists currently featured on the wiki, plus the ones saved in my list, and request their blanket permission to feature their art, ask how they'd like to be credited, etc. Then I'll get started creating their artist categories, as done with  [[:Category:Art by David Rodrigues ]] and  [[:Category:Art by Jessica Huegel (@Cryptobaffling) ]].
