If you're going to go around removing my images, could you either find and replace them with better quality free-for-use images, or make constructive criticisms on the respective talkpages to improve them? Simply removing them and giving unhelpfully vague explanations that sound too much like personal opinions are not helpful, nor constructive, especially when there are not too many free-for-use images of obscure prehistoric organisms available.--Mr Fink (talk) 02:24, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- Despite the obvious fact that I could have had no idea that you created the images, I am more than happy to at least attempt to oblige your request for elaboration. The images I tried to remove are cartoonish drawings that appear to have come from a child’s coloring book rather than a depository of quality illustrations by a serious natural historian and fit for presentation in an encyclopedia. If you are the person who created these drawings - as it appears you are by looking at your user page - I’m afraid that I can offer little in the way of “constructive” criticism, as none of your works have any redeeming value in the way of either realism or simple aesthetics. I believe the articles are overshadowed by - and better without - what appears to be your attempt to feature yourself at the expense of content. I hope this helps. Cheers!

- I will just leave this here, on my own talk page, since you’ve already made your combative mentality and perceived ownership of articles apparent in your rapid-fire reversions of my edits. It’s something other editors may be interested to know: Apokryltaros advertises his drawings for sale off-Wikipedia and may be plugging his drawings into Wikipedia articles as a means of self-promotion
