Honorable Mentions
The World Anvil blog has an article called "How to find free Art for your Worldbuilding". I have too many of these to list them all individually, and hardly a week goes by where I don't use one of these sites at least once.
Basically, I can pull art from "creative commons" websites as long as I credit the artist with a hyperlink to their site.
Any art made before January 1st 1928 is in the public domain and I sometimes use this art and credit it as best I can. Obviously the artists of yesteryear do not have websites.
I sometimes find just what I'm looking for on a museum's website.

An online friend of mine, Pendrake was nice enough to come up with an icon for the Nine collectively and he gave it to me as a gift. I use this image a lot. It's sort of my generic article header but it is also marks a lot of articles or subsections talking about Scarterran religious practices in general. He also made a nice map of the Border Baronies that I could use to move map pins around.
And he made a good picture of a Scarterran "hot" mine and a sketch of the "Barony of the Dead"
Another friend online, Warden upscaled my original mediocre MS Paint Imperial Stingray into a much better handdrawn one.

Art used with direct permission
The art below is modern art that I have contacted online and asked for permission to use their work and have been given permission to do so.
Fair Use
Below are things I do not written permission to use, but they are used and posted practically EVERYWHERE on the internet and no one is challenged. If it becomes a problem with the World Anvil Team or anyone else has a problem with it, I can remove any or all of these. Many of them are memes.

Below are cases where I used a meme generator website to put my chosen text on a "standard" meme template. I'm not sure what the rules on World Anvil are for this sort of thing, but if it becomes a problem, I can remove. them.
