Hey guys. As you know we do not allow images that are copyrighted to be used on this site. But you may ask yourself how do you know what is copywriter and what isn't. Here are some tips and tricks to avoid these images.
1. DO NOT google images. Most sites have copyright rules covering their images. 99% of the time, you will only find copyrighted images.
2. Use sites such as DeviantArt and Flickr to find Stock and Creative Commons images. Below are guides on how to properly use these sites.
And that's the easiest way to find proper images! Feel free to comment.

DeviantArt
DA is very simple to use. This Link will take you to the stock section of the site. All you'll have to do is put what you're searching for in the search bar and off you go. It's sometimes best to put "wolf" instead of "white wolf". Breed usually works best.
Flickr
Flickr is a little bit more difficult to use at first if you're not used to it. Click the numbers to get an image of what I'm talking about for that step.
Number 1 - Load up www.flickr.com/ and enter your search term in the search bar. Once again, slightly vauge is sometimes good.
Number 2 - Click Advanced Search
Number 3 - Scroll down and click on the box that says "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content " (You don't have to click the second one if you're not going to manipulate the image). Hit search again down on the bottom and you're good to go!
And that's the easiest way to find proper images! Feel free to comment.
