I use fanart in icons. Fanart I found from ~*4chan*~. But you know the problem with it? Most of them are reposts of reposts of reposts so after a while, the source gets lost and no one knows anymore after so long. (Seriously, the art I end up using? Four or five years old) But you know the secret? I don't post them in icon communities. I make them for myself, and hey, if someone else wants to use it, by all means.
And, as far as icon artists demanding credit? uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh I don't? I think it'd be nice if they did so people can know where the icon came from and see what else there is, but I'm not going to throw a hissy fit if they don't.
OH HAY you know something else? I post my fanart on the interweb. And, seriously, if someone actually finds the stuff and likes it enough to make graphics from it, then that's pretty awesome. I would probably try to contact them to find out what they liked about the image, but other than that, I don't really care.
