Block IP from Image Hotlinking htaccess

There is this IP '192.241.234.14'. The neighborhood has about 1200 sites that are hotlinking images from me.

I don't want to block every site but ours because I do rely on google image search quite a bit... along with others.

I have tried this

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?192\.241\.234\.14 [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?myabccoolpix\.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/xxxxxxx.jpg [L]

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 192.241.234.14

But the only way I can stop it successfully is to block each domain. Is there a better way?

# allow blank referrer requests
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}     !^$

# allow all requests from your domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}     !^https?://([^.]+\.)?domain1\.   [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}     !^https?://([^.]+\.)?domain2\.   [NC]
