Stopping Hotlinking Using .htaccess

[onlinespider]

I am trying to include this code in my .htaccess file for stopping hotlinking but i am having the image angryman.jpeg, indicated below, replacing some of my images. Can you please indicate what is the problem?

Thank You for your help.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ http://www.mydomain.com/angryman.jpeg [R,L]

I'm not an .htaccess expert ...
But I did find this:

Dear Sir,

You helped me solve my problem. Thanks a lot for your support. That was a very good site for both coding and testing of hotlinking.
