Pixel Joint Forum: Recycling open artwork

Message

   Hi guys

A lot of artwork is already open licensed on the internet, and it is just sitting there, waiting to be used!
I thought there must be some of it that can be 'recycled', into the OPP style. 
Benefits:

Little work, a lot of result
Using the open arts what they were made/licensed for, increasing their value and purpose
Possibly drawing in new artists to the project by letting them and their communities know we've used their art
Any artwork that is either licensed CC-BY or artwork that is in the public domain (and CC0) can be recolored/resized/pixelled for the OPP. Make sure that the original creator gets added to the list of contributors
Suggestions of what to recycle:
Pixel art that is close in style and scale to OPP (recolor)
Sketches, concepts that can be turned into sprites
3D models & animations that can be rasterized and pixelled/traced over
Anything else!

If you know any suitable open licensed artwork, post it here! Or get working on transferring it to the OPP style yourself!

I have already created these clouds by recoloring the cc0 old Frogatto clouds
Also I am working on some public domain icons. Transforming them to a 32x32 grid and then recoloring them to DB32. My progress:

Spread the free artwork, remix!
