CloseLooking for some pictures for my opening scene, and I was curious where everyone goes to get free artwork to use? It's a non-commercial game, and I need some to use during the opening story scene. I love Deviant Art, but most of that is commissioned or permission hasn't been given by the user.
Just curious if anyone knows of any good fantasy websites?

"artwork" meaning what? That doesn't mean much.
Characters / Tiles / Backgrounds / CGs
I mean you can use artwork like this for free without permission.

If you're thinking "custom assets I don't have to pay for," then that's probably not happening. Artists do not look kindly on people unwilling to pay them for work, and it is absolutely work.
If you don't have money, you're going to need to offer something else of value to the artist. ("People will see your art and your credit" is not value.) Some artists will accept a trade of services- composition, editing, webpage coding, etc. Some won't.
You might luck out and be friends with someone who will consider your relationship payment enough, or who is super enthusiastic about your idea, but that's super rare and assumes that you put in the effort already to make them interested.
Otherwise, you're unlikely to find an artist who is willing to sacrifice their time and energy for nothing in return. Either save up for a future where you can hire someone (bear in mind that this is likely to cost you in the multiple hundreds of dollars) or get used to using RTP or public domain artwork.

LOL I just now realized my post does sound like I'm asking for a hand out. :-) Sorry.
If I find something I really like, I am willing to pay. I'm doing a short storybook scene and was only curious if there was a resource out there that did offer artwork that people could use by giving credit.
After looking on Deviant Art, I did come across a few artists that give permission to use their artwork if you message them and explain what you'd be using it for. I've already had one get back with me OK with it since it's for a non-commercial project and I'd be putting his name/Deviant Art link in my credits. So that's one, I guess ;-)
However; there are a few I really like and have considered paying for them :-) I'm just looking to see if I do have other options before I pay. That's all.
Thanks for the links Grindalf. Kory... sorry, I mean artwork similar to what you posted. Just something to use during a storybook scene/the intro to my game.

You can also try googling "Creative Commons" and/or "Public Domain" artwork. There's a lot of collections, albeit most of them either older things or stock photos.
Good luck!
