This is the preferred way to find free graphics. There are many resources available, for those who simply look. Thanks for posting the link.

Using FOSS or CC content from other game and or project sites is also a good resource.

There is the Opensim community of content, some based off of Second Life assets, but relicensed by the owners/creators for Opensim after SL took a crap.

Linda Kellie is a name of a content creator for those platforms who release her entire collection under CC terms. Worth g00gling a name...
