User:GreenC, My identity has been verified via Wikimedia Commons where the art was uploaded [1], to further verify the work, here is a Link to another piece of my art (which can also be found here on my website).. on the same website, you can find the drawing of Maye here.. regards.

Alright, well I saw you were the one who added it to the article, and twice restored it after a revert. It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable because the drawing is inherently a COI. Personally I would rather see an actual photo of her interacting in real life supported by text in the article, we already have a head shot in the info box. No offense, I am no art expert, but I'm not sure this drawing is good enough for the prime real estate of the Wiki article; it has no notability; nothing supporting it in the text of the article; pictures are not supposed to merely decorate the article. Those are the con arguments. On the pro side I could see arguments that this is an open source drawing and why not. In balance I think the con arguments are stronger. -- GreenC17:43, 17 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Agreed, however, unlike a photograph, a work of art is an (abstract) language which is reflective of the artist's mind whilst studying the subject at hand, therefore, having a member of public interoperate her through the arts is important as it portrays the person in a different light.

Glad you agree. You are a disclosed named artist it's not anonymous ("member of the public"). I believe this is too COI and for other reasons will remove it. If you still disagree I am willing to have an RfC to see what others think, it's pretty simple question "Should this picture be in the article?". -- GreenC03:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Wait so you said "I could see arguments that this is an open source drawing and why not." but then turn around and removed it? why not do the other way around, leave it up and then discuss whether to keep it up? feel free to submit it.. however, the art is not named under the displayed drawing on her page which is why I left it out in the first place.
