     The behemoth is not from me, I have no idea where it comes from.

The behemoth is from Titan - an Avalon Hill boardgame of great joy and 
renown.
You may actually be particuarily interested in a java version of the 
game called Colossus
(
     
     http://colossus.sourceforge.net
     
     ) which is my second favorite opensource 
java application....

     All that being said, you may call me picky for pointing out

     which is still selling, and there is a big active company behind it.

Actually I dont' mind - really.  I was glad to know where the image was 
taken from.  Explains why the size and perspective is so close.  I was 
not going to use this image as initially mentioned, but I did use it to 
make an outline of the image for the shadowdragon arch and was hoping to 
use that.  The profile and the wings were tempted me into a tracing 
experiment.
I my reply was more interested in some actual feedback on what 
constituted good taste in the game as opposed to legal obligation.
I supose the roundabout way I was making this point could be considered 
defensive, but I was trying to say I am acting in good faith, not trying 
to sneak in a hot dragon picture.

     I really didn't mean to criticise your drawing skills or

     motives. You've drawn a ton of images, and most if them are great.

     I love the player animations for example.

     Please don't feel discouraged. Keep up the good work.

Actually I didn't point out those specific animations because you did 
them (I didn't look up the creators actually), but because they were 
suspect.  This is probably the best argument of all - if it looks like 
it came from somewhere else it probably did - even if it is totally ok 
rights wise - it don't really fit in.
I gratefully notice you didn't mention anything about giant rodents 
either... I do know of which you speak.
