Along similar lines, the space section of this site could also be a useful source. Can't find details about licensing etc though from a quick look, but may be worth investigating?

And if all else fails, it has minions ;)

We got another permission:
Re: I would like to use your images
from SeanMcKinney http://seanmckinney.deviantart.com/
to Norbylite http://norbylite.deviantart.com/
No problem, since it is an open source project I give you permission to use the images.

Norbylite said the following:

Dear Sean McKinney,

I would like to ask your permission of using your beautiful images as backgrounds in upcoming free addons of an open source Elite-like space simulation game named to Oolite at http://oolite.org/.

I and some other hobby programmer in this forum: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17492 making addons under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/, so if you allow to use your images then you will get a note in the readme of addons regarding you are the author of the used images.

I especially like these:

Norby, he's deactivated his account!

Do you still have any of his images anywhere?

Sure: (warning: nice pics ahead! ;) )

This is the full archive what I collected anno for the HD background images, mostly station interiors, just I was too lazy to put them together into the next image pack, the "B" one. The pics from Sean McKinney are in the subfolder seanmckinney.devianart.com.

Apologies.

Just to say, I got nowhere with this one. Lack of e-mail did not help, granted, but I was utterly confusticated on the one hand by the disappearance of the artists from DeviantArt on the one hand, and by my profound inability to create a working version of HDBG B on the other.

If I have more success on the wider programming front I may well revisit this!


As far as I can discern, the only oxp's to use these images are (1) Docking Fees and (2) Imperial Star Destroyer (player's version).
