I’ve been wondering, as a lone game developer, or to say a part of team which has only got programmers and people who like to play games… How do I manage the void created by lack of artists (sprites/tiles/animations) in such a situation???
What do you do in that case? and suppose I am a student, with no money to hire artists, is there a place where I can get these resources legally & free ?
For images there is also several sites like freespace pointed out for instance http://commons.wikimedia.org/ another great resource for getting artwork/images for your projects is to reach out to art schools or other locations that you know artists frequent and permit them to sign or get credit for any creation you use.
