[As noted elsewhere](/linklists/pd_comics.html), my total inability to draw has often hindered my creative processes, forcing me to rely on overlong text descriptions or poorly-drawn sketches. While researching other possible graphic sources, I came across several sites brimming with resources for game developers like myself, who wish to use <abbr title="Creative Commons">CC</abbr> and <abbr title="Public Domain">PD</abbr> art to make new games.

Below are links to some of the sources I've been using, compiled as of March 10, 2014. The links were last updated and verified on January 02, 2024.
