25. While I'm not saying that icon-maker's rules can be worded better (that did come off as quiet callous), I never really understood the hypocrisy of the whole thing; what's the difference between iconmakers using official art and fanart? In a way, both times artwork is being used to create new forms of "artwork" (because yes, some people consider icons a form of graphic art; I'm not saying I'm one of them, but I digress), not to mention the fanartists are using the original artwork to create their own, which kind of mirrors the dilemma between the icon maker and fanartist I believe. The thing is, I understand fanartists might be upset of the ways their work is being used, but the fact of the matter is, it seems hypocritical just to "respect" the fanartists and not using their artwork without permission while turning a blind eye to the original artist, if that makes any sense. Sure, it's common courtesy in the end, but again, icons and fanart aren't taken that serious to most.
39. This is why I usually use icons made from stock photos. It's a little harder to find people that look similar, but at least I don't have a Vogue cover for an average joe.
43. The eyes creep the fuck out of me. I like dolls, but seriously. T_T
