I make icons an' $#@% all the time, but I don't bother askin' for credit. Well, I mean, since I just doctored the CRAP out of an existing image anyways... (I guess if I DREW it myself, then that's another story. But even then, I don't care what the hell you use it for as long as you didn't say that YOU drew it, you know?) When it comes to icons, credit's a pain in the ass, and I hate putting people through that. I DO however like the fact that friends know that I love to make icons, will spend hours on a request, and know that they can ask me for just about anything because I'm friggin' BEASTLY like that. ... 'Sup. XD

Yeah, that's exactly where I'm comin from too. Credit is a pain in the ass. Especially if you're zipping through a site and not uploading the icons right away. Besides, does it really matter? And why should I comment if I take an icon? Is this a whole 'big brother' thing?

I can see getting pissed if someone steals something you've drawn yourself. That's your property to begin with. But stuff you've ripped off and edited. Sorry...got no moral grounds to bitch.

BTW, I love your icons! They're so pretty! :P

I hate to play the devil's advocate, but I can understand why people would want credit for their work. Even if it was something that already existed like anime art or a manga, they still put effort into creating an icon from it. I guess it's just the principle of the matter. I draw pictures and such, and if someone took my work without asking I would be furious (I'm paranoid about people claiming my work as their's and such), and while it's not the same thing I do understand the icon maker's point.

I stopped making sense in the second sentence there, I think....

LOL No, you made sense. Devil's advocate is always welcome here!

That's good, because I tend to play one! I always take the other side if I think they have a valid point, which means I tend to argue for my teachers and such. It annoys my friends sometimes because I point out that the teacher was right in saying such-and-such.
