I respect your opinions, I really do. I'd be upset too, if someone took my art and used it as their own. Just that there's only a handful of users on this wiki who actually feel confident in their illustrations; unfortunately enough, I'm not one of them (though I wish to be.)

As bad as it may sound, we've allowed our users to take images they find and slap them on to their pages for characters, Devil Fruits, islands, and so on. Though some of us (again, stupidly enough, I'm not on of them <_<) were thoughtful enough to credit whoever made the art. In my case, I am currently trying to design original appearances for Mona and the other One Dream characters I've created. Just that due to how I started off on this wiki, and my illogical stubbornness, I ended up sticking to the habit of taking images off of Google image search and using them for my pages. I do however, only see these images as temporary placeholders for my characters' true designs (as I've envisioned them.) Once they're fully designed from head to toe, and I can get someone to draw them according to my unbelievable standards, I'll switch the current image out for the illustration I approve of.

I will apologize for pretty much stealing images and not giving credit where credit is due. Though at the moment, I'm treating this as a necessary evil, since I know the users on this wiki are going to want to find a way to easily identify my characters. I suppose in time, I'll add who the character is and who their artist was to try and make up for this. But for now, I'm just too hard-headed to go against a habit I've developed for almost 3 years straight now.
