Anyone know of a secret place to find free art?

closed account (3qX21hU5)
Been scouring Google lately for some nice sprites since I am at the point where just normal placeholder images aren't really working anymore. Though sadly Google isn't being to helpful, mainly because you can't find what the license for a certain image is and/or there isn't a full set of sprites to use so every image varies in design.

So I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to find some free sprites (Preferably a whole set). What I am working on is currently a vertical shoot em up game (IE a plane/spacecraft flying vertically shooting everything in its path) and don't really care to much about the setting (It could be planes flying around the world or A spaceship around space or even a underwater craft scouring the ocean) and I'm not to pick on the art style either.

Anyways just thought I would see if anyone knew of a reliable site to look for them at or even if anyone with artistic abilities is looking for something to do ;p.

Have a few wanted posters out on the net for a artist right now but not looking to promising since it is just a little project and most likely won't be released for money or anything.

It wouldn't be a secret if I told you...

But I've gotten decent mileage out of Charas.

Googling for "royalty free sprite sets" I found these...

SpriteLib
http://www.widgetworx.com/widgetworx/portfolio/spritelib.html
SpriteLib is officially under the terms of the Common Public License. It is free for any use (e.g. shareware or commercial applications, including iOS and Android games).

SpriteLand
http://www.spriteland.com/sprites/index.htm

And apparently there are free sprite sets here

(My google search also got a number of hits on people asking the same question, so you could follow up on the response they got, too. e.g.
