please credit artists if you plan to use their work for avatars/signatures :^) ive been seeing people using art such as retark's for their avvies without giving proper credit. always be sure to leave a small message or a link or something to whoever made your stuff, and that the art your using is free to the public in the first place. being on the receiving end of theft accusations probably isn't the most exciting thing.

Agreed
I don't like it when people don't credit the artist, especially if one of their conditions of use is that you give credit

Guys: Official art should be fine. Considering how widespread OA is, I doubt the creator would mind you using their art.
On the other hand, fanart should only be used with credit! Retark's icons, for example, are for free use wherever WITH CREDIT. If an artist also doesn't make it known that their art is okay to use as an icon or w/e, ASK THEM.

kinkajou you should be able to search the image again, click 'View Page' and see the artist, esp if it's from Deviantart. Photography edits should also be credited as well, unless you don't know who took the pictures. people often don't realize that just because someone made art that you like, that it isnt free to use. That's why I am extremely reluctant to post my art here. No offense but I don't trust anybody here to not post it offsite claiming it as theirs.

thank you for posting this because honestly it's really rude to take images that aren't yours, even if you're not claiming them as yours, and use them as your avatar and such. also people shouldn't be using any art that specifically says "not for free use" or something along those lines. if the artist doesn't want you to use the art then DON'T. especially especially!! if it was a commissioned piece of work because somebody else PAID the artist for that and you don't have any right to use it anywhere.

I agree 100% w/ this thread. Hopefully others can see it and credit the artist in their siggies/avatars if they haven't already

Sometimes, but I do stuff like pixel art, which I'm not really fond of putting watermarks on so I just keep all my art to my dA.
