I would be careful about looking over “stock art” as there is a smattering of AI art available on DriveThruRPG nowadays. I don’t know if DTRPG will be regulating that or not, so for the time being try to mitigate that by doing some basic research. Reach out to the artist if you are uncertain.
That’s it for today! I just wanted to get this out there because of all the discussion on AI art lately. Cheers, y’all.

Pixabay is a good source, but you have to scrutinize some of the newer images because people are uploading AI generated images. Pixabay is pretty good about marking those images when they find them. It’s Creative Commons with no attribution required but the cool thing to di is attribute the artist and link directly to their page (the html tag provided usually just takes you to the Pixabay main page.) You can also throw them some coins for for their work.
