I haven’t done any game development for a long time. However, I still stumble regularly upon great resources for game graphics; free and paid. So, I decided to curate a collection here on my blog.
Last Update: August 2017
- OpenGameArt free or open source - mixed quality but you can fine some good gems like the asset by kenny
- Kenny Great assets, vector style for various 2d games. it’s free but you should support him and buy an asset pack.
- Platformer Game Kits
- Art by fikri $, vector style, many different sets for platformers, sidescrollers and more , i.e. Rude Races or Side Scroll Character Vol 5 or Light Adventure Game
- Art by bevouliin $, vector style for platformers, sidescrollers and more, i.e. 18 Gothic Creatures Sprite Sheets
- Art by canvaskite $, vector style backgrounds for various themes, i.e. 2d Chinese Game Backgrounds
- Spaceship Game Assets $

- Art-packs by BrashMonkey $, various art-packs brought to you by the creators of Spriter

- 2D Game Art for Programmers free, paid and tutorials for creating game assets
- GSHelper free and pain, has even game templates for GameSalad
