And that's fine—you can always ask for permission to use a copyrighted image; that's what the Copyright and Permission template is for—but it's important you understand that Public Domain was objectively wrong under these circumstances.

Additionally, I notice you've removed the PD template, which is good, but not replaced it with anything, which isn't. Unless and until you hear back from the artist, you need to find a different licensing template.
