I've been following Sakugan for a while since I first spotted it on Satelight's page, but I've noticed that the original image it had (shown above, see here it alongside the anime through the Wayback Machine) has both vanished from the anime's pics tab, and, more curiously, looks very different to the every other piece of promo art and PV for the show.

I tried searching through the database change logs for anything about it, but with the show having changed names multiple times, it was rather difficult to find anything, even after trying each version of the title.

I reverse-searched the image itself, which led instead to the deviantart page of one Masafumi Takagi, which appears to present it as original art, titled simply "Old Book."

So, the question I mean to ask is, does anyone know why the original image was posted to this title? Is it meant to be fanart of the original Sakugan Labyrinth Marker, was it a placeholder of some sort? Or just if anyone could point me toward the log showing its addition or removal, thank you.

Checked their PIXIV and twitter and looked for any linkss........none odd likely just someone saw the image and used it as a placeholder.

Kinda weird and offputting to use someones art without permission though

I'm not sure but I think that picture was drawn by Masafumi Takagi for the Anima project and not specifically as an illustration for Sakugan; when Sakugan was announced as the first Anima project winner all the various news sites simply attached that illustration to the news.

Checking the info surrounding the Anime Project seems to line up, so it looks like @Avvenirista solved it. Thanks for the help.
