Some established fantasy artists will allow use of their artwork for non-commercial purposes, provided their name (and usually link) is placed with the picture. I haven't checked for several years, but this used to include Jonathon Earl Bowser, Larry Elmore, Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Jessica Galbreth or John Howe.

Lastly, you can sometimes get surprising results by fishing for talent among your playerbase - a contest or even a call for help can land you with some amazing artwork, and it's free too!
Good luck and keep us posted on your results - it's nice to see somebody care about art copyright.  |
