I am developing a game. To test my map engine, I need pictures of 8 directions character walking. As a programming, it is not too difficult to write program, but it is a big problem for me to draw pictures. So my question is where can I find some free pictures for game developing? Pictures should be free because I might release some demo version on internet or somewhere. Thanks.
http://www.openclipart.org/ (among the cliparts I guess you can find some cool image) http://www.deviantart.com/ (A website for artists, you can check if someone is interested in a quick project) http://pingus.seul.org/ (I am pretty sure you can either use the penguin icons, or at least contact the one who did them)
