A thought occurred to me that the early days of the internet had a lot of stuff like this. Illustration, music, animation, comics, etc.
Are there places like this these days that I’m not aware of?
Lots of musicians share their music for “Name your price” on Bandcamp and 0 Dollars is an option.
Remember when the Internet was about collaborating instead of making money and getting famous. I think we will never see that again
www.pixiv.net/en/ artists post all kinds of works and the ones that want donations typically have a fanbox or something similar in their bio.
I know of opengameart.org
It might fit the bill.
As with all lemmy, the volume is low, but we do have c/artshare here with some frequent callers. Here on World, I think
Free music archive freemusicarchive.org has a lot of music licensef under the various creative commons licences
For photography, maybe unsplash.com ? The site is commercial and many people upload stuff for self promotion reasons, but still, most photos are available for free and under a rather permissive licence
I find Blue Sky gained a lot of the artists that left Twitter. Many post freely, post commissioned works, or have a donation or subscription based platform to share work on. Discovery is ass, but many repost or comment on other artists so you can find a lot of similarly interesting creators that way.
Presumably they'd just upload it on their social media platform of choice nowadays?
Itch.oi is like the old flash games sites like Kongregate
Looking for art that has a Creative Commons licence, is a way to find this kind of free art. eg. Search for: ‘creative commons pictures’
Here are a few links:
Pictures

Music

creativecommons.org/legalmusicforvideos/
Comics

There are many more out there, you can use the search method above.

Check out Pixelfed. Just subscribe to hashtags that interest you and it will pull in art from across the Fediverse.
Pixelfed is one of the best things on the internet IMO.
