Over the past year the one thing I've learned that I can't believe I didn't know about was locking the transparency of a layer. It has changed the entire way I work in Photoshop.
I remember when I would post something on the main page and it would be pushed to page 2 in the first 10 minutes....I just posted a question last week and nobody responded but it was on page one for hours!
If you have paper artwork that you want to use (and it is a decent size) you can scan it at a large resolution and edit it a little in Photoshop to fit the shirt.
The key is to avoid it looking like a square picture slapped on fabric.
Yeah - it's definitely happened - but usually it is caught during voting. most rip-offs are pretty obvious - and most are not totally re-drawn so I'd imagine that even if they WERE selected that the artist responsible wouldn't be able to produce the high resolution art needed for printing.
