Where can I download Royalty Free Fantasy images?

Does anyone know of any good sites I can go to that offer Royalty
Free fantasy images?

Because although I'm teaching myself how to draw realistic fantasy
art, its going to be awhile until its actually good enough to put in
one of my games.

So for now, it might be nice if I had another source of images to
use.(Even if I have to pay for them)

If anyone knows of any good websites that offer Royalty free images,
it would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks!

What kind of images? sprites? animated?

Isometric? Top-down? Side-view? Portraits? Characters? Tilesets?

if you're talking about Larry Elmore type stuff


probably not,

You could use Poser
you would also have to buy some models for a hundred bucks or so

I need character portraits, and top down view sprites.
although sprites with any view would work fine most likely.

Not sure if what you want is in here:-

But never presume you can just download free things without a relative license...

Maybe bookmark the links inside the above link for future references when using placeholders, if required.

If you go to your local Barnes & Nobles, and look near the art section, they usually have a bunch of clip-art books on a rack. They're like $20 a book, and there are ones called Fantasy, Dragons & Wizards, Gnomes & Faeries, and a few others. They usually have about 150 pictures in each book. You might be able to find some portrait-type images in there. They're black and white line drawings, so you can color them however you want. Keep in mind that you can only use 10 from each book in any given publication, though.

Also, in my little game Armand and the Foppish Hat, I used some tiles from molotov.nu, the Lorestrome Pixel Archive, and a few others.

Thanks a bunch everyone!

I should be able to find what I'm looking for with these links.
