Two weeks into this and I'm reaching towards stranger pastures, because I want to put up repeating myself as much as possible. This one is particularly strange, but equally striking. Made for the #CreativeCommons horror project, the SCP Foundation Wiki scp-wiki.wikidot.com

So today I've been at this for a week, and have finally reached the day I intended to start on - and I want to announce something. From now on, every saturday will include something that I am adding to the corpus of free art. This will be an edit, as I still can't draw.🧵

I'm starting to run low on places I know to look for #FreeFantasyArt - but I have at least a couple of days worth left. Technically this is the second source I'm linking from GitHub, but I don't think it's fair to count "GitHub" as a whole as a source - I don't know of any way to search it usefully🧵

Just one #FreeFantasyArt piece for today - it took a bit of searching to find. Which is appropriate, given it depicts an explorer searching in a dangerous wetland.

There are 145 different images in the set. Because I'm trying to draw attention to what's available, I'm going to post them piecemeal - but if you want you can go over there and just scroll through the whole set right now!

I also have another ongoing thing for this month, posting #FreeFantasyArt, while I search for some that I can make actually fit my own worldbuilding purposes (I can't draw, but I'm getting better at image editing). So if you want to illustrate your worlds and don't want to use AI, give that a look

As I indicated yesterday, today's #FreeFantasyArt batch is coming via DriveThruRPG.
Before I get into the actual drop for today though, I'd like to talk about the different types of Free you'll find on there.
DriveThruRPG has a huge amount of Stock Art that's got unique, non-standard, licenses🧵

Today it's a type of fantasy monster that I like, but I know isn't to everyone's tastes: Artistic interpretations of ancient animals!
Accurate or inaccurate, they're definitely not things people will have actually encountered, and that's enough for me to count T-Rex as fantasy.🧵
