In their own words
CraftPix
CraftPix is a web-based catalog for finding 2D game art, with free downloads and paid assets. Its range includes sprites, characters, animated objects and enemies, backgrounds, tilesets, interface elements, isometric art, pixel art, game kits, 3D models and text effects. Game developers, indie studios and hobbyists are its stated audience. Assets can be integrated into Unity, Unreal Engine, Buildbox, Construct 2 and GameSalad. Freebie assets may be modified and used in personal or commercial projects without attribution. Purchased assets can be used in unlimited free and commercial projects without royalties, and remain usable after a subscription ends. The license bars redistributing source art, including slightly altered versions, so another end user can use it; it also bars using licensed art or derivatives to train, test, validate or improve AI systems. CraftPix lists a free plan and paid options from $4.50. Memberships include unlimited downloads, with higher-priority support listed for members.
GameArt2D
GameArt2D is a marketplace for royalty-free 2D game art assets, with more than 100 items. The catalog includes platformer and top-down tilesets, character spritesheets, game GUI, space-shooter assets, backgrounds, icons, and other graphics. Free assets are available for Unity, Godot, Unreal, and other game engines. Paid items include single assets and bundles: the Nature Platformer Tileset Bundle contains 12 packs, and the Spec-Ops pack has four animated characters, each with 22 animation states and 10 frames per animation. Spec-Ops supports several 2D engines, including Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine Paper2D, GameMaker Studio, Construct, and Cocos2d, and includes PNG animation sequences, Spriter SCML, and vector source files.
Purchased assets can be used in personal or commercial projects, including paid, freemium, and ad-supported games. The license allows unlimited copies, sales, or downloads of games made with the assets, but prohibits reselling or redistributing the assets themselves. Freebies are offered under Creative Commons Zero or public-domain terms. Free assets cost nothing; the listed 4 Directional Sprite costs $18, paid once, and the Nature bundle costs $29.99, paid once.
