Titanimal, titanium-pony, whatever alias you prefer to use, has a long history of screwing with artists, both on deviantART and on Derpibooru.

Basically he would copy-paste vectors of spike with vectors of another character to create shipping or porn images, would credit himself as the artist, and would militantly not credit the vectorists (whether the vectors were show traces or original). By militant I mean highly hostile towards anyone commenting on the topic, to the point of hounding them on their own DA accounts and arguing that no one should care about artists. He got banned two or three times there over it (and his general abysmal attitude), and after that and a few bans here started crediting artists.

Still, his attitude was still terrible, and given his past and all got permabanned. Still ban evades and begs for people to upload here. Given he’s clearly not an artist, and the volume of stuff he pushes out is enough to be an issue, the tag was aliased to reflect something closer to reality.

The “Spike” tag won’t / will not be added here since he’s not physically in the
comic above; Spike must physically be in the comic for the tag to be added in.
Spike’s face on the T-shirt does NOT count as it defeats the “Spike” tag’s purpose.
