Starmoth is a Creative Commons project and thus most of the non-commissioned art is displayed under a Creative Commons license or, sometimes, a Public Domain license. Commissioned art is clearly identified by the mentions "made by [artist] for Starmoth", "illustration by [artist]" or #art courtesy of [artist]" without a Creative Commons licence being mentioned. This art remains under the copyright of the commissioned artist. You can learn more about the commissioned artists here.
Our main illustration sources for Creative Commons images are as follows:
- NASA pictures and concept art, often in the public domain.
- Creative Commons art from the Creative Commons content of the Eclipse Phase RPG by Posthuman studios and from the Symbiosis Creative Commons artbook by Steven Sanders. Both are licensed under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 Unported license.
- Freely licensed Shutterstock and Pexels images -- these are not covered by the Creative Commons license but are free for reuse.
- Many of the ships are illustrated by Lilly Harper, author of the Beacons in the Dark website. They are not covered by the Creative Commons License.
Finally, some mech and vehicle illustrations are proprietary designs from Retrograde Minis, reused with their agreement. You can support them on Patreon.
Some image credits may have fallen through the cracks or have been misattributed. Do not hesitate to contact me in that case.
