Public Domain and Creative Commons

Pexels

Pexels is a very efficient search engine that can show you hundreds of different public domain images. The website is very easy to use, as all it takes to use it is to search keywords for the type of image you need. From the images I've seen on the website, they are very good quality, as opposed to some of the lower quality stuff you see. Another good thing about the website is that on each image they clearly state what kind of license is on the image. This is useful because there is no confusion on what you can do with each image.

Creative Commons

The creative commons search engine is very useful. The search engine has a lot of options to narrow your search, and you can also specify whether you are going to modify the image or not. This is very useful because you are not at any risk for accidentally causing trouble with the content creator. The thing I really enjoy about the site is that you can choose which site you wanna search for an image. I like this because it can show you a lot of variety with the images you are looking for.

Public Domain Project

The Public Domain Project has a lot of content to search with. You can specify whether you're searching for images, videos, or audio. Then you can search a keyword and find all sorts of media that may relate to your project. The website is very straightforward, which makes it very easy to use.

They don't take a very realistic approach, which is a trait that I enjoy because it's fun to be transported to a world that is not your own. The artist has a very good understanding of contrast and how to use it to make the piece stand out. Concept Art by Artur Sadlos  My second example is concept art that was illustrated by the Tokyo-based concept artist, Artur Sadlos. This artist makes concepts for video games, film, and animations, which are all things I am very interested in so it's cool to see the artwork that is behind them. The artist is very talented at drawing terrain and is also very good at depicting size, as a lot of his pieces include monsters that are the height of skyscra
