I do know about that one massive collection post,, which is bloody fantastic and has provided me with thousands of card arts. However, I was wondering if anyone knows of any other good sources for when creating cards. Particularly I was trying to find if someone on the internet has a lot of the MTG artwork on Bulk or something of that nature. A lot of that is true quality art and quite a bit of it fits inside the Hearthstone area of artwork. Does anyone have any potential sources for what I'm looking for or other sources in general, perhaps some good searching tools or websites because stuff like Google, bing, etc. are pretty bunk for it.
Also I suppose legally I will ask is it right for us to use someone else's artwork in the ways we do. People generally take another artists work, crop it, and make it for a Hearthstone card. I know a lot of people grab things from the Warcraft TCG art, but is it really fair for us to use it in that manner. I dunno the specifics of it.
Also, how do you guys look for a particular piece of artwork, just wondering. When finding and placing artwork does it take you all a long time or are you able to search through your art collection for one particular card and you just instantly know it's a natural fit? Sometimes It takes me quite a while to find what is, in my opinion, the ideal art for quite a few cards I've created.
It's nothing more than find your favorite art source(page) and browse through it, look at some official art or just google image. Find your favorite way to do it. :)
Don't worry about legal rights. It's fan fiction and you can't put a law to prevent such things. As long as you don't make money of it or use it outside of the fan-made area.

Pinterest is a good source. also using the words "fantasy art" in searches, or "warcraft art".
