Affordable art resources

<< < (2/2)

Selene Tan:
flickr is a photography site where anyone can register for an account and upload pictures for other people to view. It's useful as an art resource because people can easily specify a Creative Commons license for their pictures. CC-BY is the same as "Creative Commons Attribution only", i.e. you can use the photo however you like as long as you credit the photographer. Even if a photo isn't explicitly licensed for re-use, you can contact the user and ask them about it.

If you're interested in more Creative Commons works, Google and Yahoo both have options in their Advanced Search pages to restrict the source to Creative Commons-licensed pages.

BibliOddyssey has scans of art from old manuscripts; many of their images are available (via flickr) under CC-BY. Not sure how much use they'll be for your modern game, but an amazing resource.

Another source, illodelli, got mentioned in a thread on the Connections subforum. It's a site where some artists got together and put up spare pieces they had lying around for one-use non-exclusive licensing at low prices.
