*head desk* Art/icon theives suck, seriously. I often feel like saying:
"Yes, let me spend two hours figuring out how to make twenty layers of gradients, textures,patterns and images work together, as well as designing new a while new design which takes another five hours considering I only have 100x100 pixels to work with and my idea wants 3000x3000, just so you can run off and claim it as your own. Really, I don't mind."
While most of my icons are free for the taking (with credit) since I make between 5 and 20 a week, it's still bloody annoying to see them changed/un-credited and it's doubly annoying to see my larger graphics stolen when I only have them in public view as a reference to what I can do for someone's request (such as colouring a manga image or original artwork).
Thankfully, no one's tried knicking my fanart, but then again, it's only viewable in two places.
