Note, several links might be outdated.
This is just a simple copy of the first post:

This is just a simple copy of the first post:
First off, I'm not sure if this is the right thread, bit it'll help people making sets, so I put it here.
Second off, always give the artist credit. If you can't find the artist (don't forget to look at the art for a signature) at least put the website it's from.
Third off, I hope this helps people in making their cards. Onto the list, feel free to add, I'll update this first post with everyone else's sites just to keep them all in one place for us.
Search Engines
images.google.com/imghp?tab=wi - Good old Google image search, gets anything you need almost instantly
www.epilogue.net/index.php - Has almost any kind of art you can think of, fantasy, sci-fi, anime and sculptures are the main ones though. You can find almost anything here.
Landscapes
www.Digitalblasphemy.com - Using the free gallery you can get some good scenery for lands, and I expect the members gallery to be amazing. All art is done by Ryan Bliss, and there is a user gallery with links to individual artist sites.
www.scorpyan.at - German, kind of hard to look around but has some cool futuristic art
www.begann.de - MANY MANY MANY LANDSCAPES!!! if you can't find pictures for land here, then I feel bad for you. Also in a foreign language though, so click the links on the side till you find the art.

I like this because not only does it supply art for most of it's subjects, it also gives storylines which can then be tweaked for our own personal use and card ideas. 5 out of 5 for sure.
