└── README.org /README.org: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | * Awesome Open Assets 2 | 3 | AOA is a repo with links to amazing places on the internet where you can get assets for your creative projects. They are sites that have been identified to have at least some public domain/cc0/creative commons licensed materials. 4 | 5 | Some of these may seem like an odd inclusion at first, but, I do "cutout/collage" style art and animation, so maybe that will explain it. 6 | 7 | *Please Note!! Disclaimer!* Not all of these sites host *only* public domain / cc0 imagery. They made the list because they at least host _some_. While many are fully open, the media they host may be under several types of licenses, such as [[https://creativecommons.org/]]. I've done my best to try to auto apply filters to free/open/public domain/cc0 licenses for you, but treat the links as a starting point and always confirm with the sites media filters and license descriptions. Enjoy! 8 | 9 | If you like the project, consider [[https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=MCQ4ADZ6BKSD2&no_recurring=0&item_name=Thanks+for+donating%2C+this+allows+me+to+keep+working+on+the+system+and+still+feed+my+family.+¤cy_code=USD][donating <3]]! 10 | 11 | ** Music / Sound Effects 12 | - [[https://github.com/Blasphemer][Blasphemer]] (has sfx and music) 13 | - [[https://www.bluezone-corporation.com/free-sound-effects][Bluezone Corp Free Sound]] 14 | - [[https://www.classicals.de/][Classical.de]] 15 | - [[https://comicbookplus.com/][Comic Books+]] (They have radio shows) 16 | - [[https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom][Freedoom]] (has sfx and music) 17 | - [[https://freemusicarchive.org/][Free Music Archive]] 18 | - [[https://freepd.com/][FreePD]] 19 | - [[https://freesound.org/][Free Sound]] 20 | - [[https://musopen.org/][MuseOpen]] 21 | - [[https://opengameart.org/][Open Game Art]] 22 | - [[https://archive.org/details/OldRunescapeSoundtrack][Old School RuneScape Music]] (Jagex confirmed its copyright free, [[https://x.com/RuneScape/status/1270839410469339137?lang=en][proof]]) 23 | - [[https://publicdomainreview.org/][Public Domain Review]] 24 | - [[https://soundimage.org/][Sound Image]] 25 | - [[https://teknoaxe.com/][Tekno Axe]] 26 | - [[https://whitebataudio.com/][White Bat Audio]] 27 | - [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page][Wikimedia Commons]] 28 | 29 | ** Art 2d & 3d 30 | - [[https://artvee.com/collections/][Artvee]] 31 | - [[https://www.authorama.com/][Authorama]] 32 | - [[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/][Biodiversity Heritage Library]] 33 | - [[https://github.com/Blasphemer][Blasphemer]] 34 | - [[https://cc0-textures.com/][CC0 Textures]] 35 | - [[https://comicbookplus.com/][Comic Books+]] 36 | - [[https://www.comicstriplibrary.org/][Comic Strip Library]] 37 | - [[https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/][Digital Comic Museum]] 38 | - [[https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/][E-Manuscripta]] 39 | - [[https://www.europeana.eu/en/collections][Europeana Collection]] 40 | - [[https://www.flickr.com/commons][Flickr Commons]] 41 | - [[https://www.fromoldbooks.org][FOBO: Pictures From Old Books dot Org]] 42 | - [[https://github.com/freedoom/freedoom][Freedoom]] 43 | - [[https://www.gameart2d.com/freebies.html][Game Art 2d]] 44 | - [[https://game-icons.net][Game-icons.net]] 45 | - [[https://www.freeimages.com/][Getty Free Images]] 46 | - [[https://sites.google.com/view/goofbox/][GoofBox]] (I rotoscope old cartoons) 47 | - [[https://www.google.com/webhp?tbo=p&tbm=bks&tbs=,bkv:f,cdr:1,cd_max:Dec+31_2+1926&num=10&zx=1763521442662&no_sw_cr=1][Google Books with Special Filter For Release before 1927]] 48 | - [[https://www.hathitrust.org/][HathiTrust]] 49 | - [[https://archive.org/][Internet Archive]] 50 | - [[https://itch.io/game-assets/free][Itch.io Free Assets]] 51 | - [[https://www.kenney.nl/][Kenney]] 52 | - [[https://www.loc.gov/collections/][Library of Congress]] 53 | - [[https://www.lotpixel.com/][Lot Pixel]] 54 | - [[https://morguefile.com/][MorgueFile]] 55 | - [[https://www.nga.gov/artworks/free-images-and-open-access][National Gallery of Art]] 56 | - [[https://digitalcollections.nypl.org][NYPL Digital Collections]] 57 | - [[https://www.metmuseum.org/about-the-met/policies-and-documents/open-access][Open Access at The Met]] 58 | - [[https://openclipart.org][Openclipart]] 59 | - [[https://opengameart.org/][Open Game Art]] 60 | - [[https://trilarion.github.io/opensourcegames/][Open Source Games List]] (Open source games include usable music, code and art.) 61 | - [[https://orka.bibliothek.uni-kassel.de/viewer/index/][Orka Open Repository Kassel]] 62 | - [[https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/fonts/index.html][Pepper and Carrot Fonts]] 63 | - [[https://pixabay.com/images/search/public%20domain/][Pixabay]] 64 | - [[https://poly.pizza/][Poly Pizza]] 65 | - [[https://www.gutenberg.org/][Project Gutenberg]] (I scrape the images from the books!) 66 | - [[https://www.publicdomainpictures.net/en/][Public Domain Pictures.Net]] 67 | - [[https://publicdomainreview.org/][Public Domain Review]] (god damn, the sources sites need put into this list. ) 68 | - [[https://pdimagearchive.org/][Public Domain Review Image Archive]] 69 | - [[https://quaternius.com/index.html][Quaternius]] 70 | - [[https://www.rawpixel.com/public-domain][Raw Pixel Public Domain]] 71 | - [[https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection][Rijksmuseum.nl]] 72 | - [[https://screamingbrainstudios.itch.io/][Screaming Brain Studio]] 73 | - [[https://sketchfab.com/features/free-3d-models][Sketchfab Free Filtered]] 74 | - [[https://librariesarchives.si.edu/][Smithsonian Libraries and Archives]] 75 | - [[https://soundimage.org/][Sound Image]] 76 | - [[https://wellcomecollection.org/][Wellcome Collection]] 77 | - [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page][Wikimedia Commons]] 78 | - [[https://www.wikipedia.org/][Wikipedia]] 79 | 80 | ** Caution!
