>>33325147Here is a collage of OP images that I have made. I've only made a thread one time and I didn't use my own OC for it, but I'm happy seeing my own stuff used.
I think the unwritten rule of using thread OC is a great thing and should continue.
But I also don't see the problem in, every once in awhile, using a very high quality art piece as an OP. Especially so when that art piece contains 5 thread-relevant liggers and its obvious that the person who did it had no ill intentions. It's an exception for a reason, and making a huge deal out of it like we're doing right now is only going to incite people to do it out of spite.
Just my two cents, I won't reply further.
