Well, I think if a fanartist posts their work online or some other venue, I think the purpose is to share with the community on a whole (and maybe get recognized for their efforts, but this isn't always the case). Because if you think about it, if they just wanted to create it for themselves or friends, why post it on a public website or forum? True, sometimes art is leaked that wasn't intended to be, but most of the time fanart is on 4chan because one time or another the fanartist uploaded it to showcase.

Does this mean it belongs to them any less? No, of course not. But a thing to consider is that again, these are icons (and other graphics sometimes as well) that are being discussed. They are products that aren't commercially being used, so once again it boils down to a courtesy thing. Showcasing a fanart as your own and using it make icons isn't the same thing I believe, though I do believe it is a little hypocritical when iconmakers INSIST for credit and will hunt you down if you don't do so.

I do the same thing (making icons from doujinshi I mean), and I agree with the line if an artist sells their art or not. Though sometimes I do make icons from fanart, but those are usually are personal and I'm not strict about credit if I do offer for others to use.

Exactly, this whole issue always seems so confusing to me. :c

I agree that posting a work on the internet acknowledges that it's not just for you--but is that the same as acknowledging "it's okay to create a transformative work using my art"? Should it be? I tend to think that it's not, but it doesn't really bother me if people make personal icons based on fanart, even if I'm happier when it's with permission. I do start to get bothered when people make icons of fanart and then share it for other people to use as well without asking for permission/checking for credit first. But it is a confusing issue.
