Huh. Well, I haven't posted icons in a while (lol, like, two years) but when I did, this was my process:

1) find pictures I like and save them to my harddrive, usually in "themed" folders
2) when I have the time, make an icon or twenty
4) delete saved photos
3) post icons

Usually there was a space of time between each of these steps ranging from days to months. I honestly wouldn't remember where I found most of the pictures, even if I'd tried - although I did try to credit the general site I found stuff on (usually Corbis, Veer, Getty, or Flickr or fansites) and most of the icons I made were stock, not fannish.

And I can't speak for anyone but myself, but the reason I liked credit was so that other people could find my stuff. It makes sense, right? I mean, how many of us have gone to check out someone's icon page after we see an icon of theirs we like? I know I do it all the time. *shrug*

But in general, yes, I do think that if an icon maker is using art (be it fannish or pro) or screencaps or something in their work, they should credit their sources. A lot of us used to have a resource page for that kind of thing. :)

If you use fanart or even photographies, you should credit the artist, not the general site. If you don't, you don't have the right to ask for credit.

Yeah, you can't credit 'flickr'. I mean, you can, but that would be like me taking one of your icons and then crediting 'livejournal'.
