The free photos — Behind the Wizards

Here I'll be detailing the wizard pictures based on free-to-use photos I found on the internet. Mainly they're from Pixabay, but there's also a Creative Commons Flickr one at the end.

There isn't a great deal to say about these ones. They're practically filler, in a way. So you may find the interesting photos more interesting. Both are an excerpt from the full Behind the Wizards on my blog.

2) Cemetery

This is a photo from Pixabay. I darkened the wizard a little so that he better matches the lighting of the scene.

4) Boat

This is a photo from Pixabay. I thought it might be funny to see the wizard standing up in a boat, especially a little one like that. He doesn’t even have any oars!

7) River

This is a photo from Pixabay. I added an orange tint to the wizard to match the surrounding colours somewhat. This photo in particular would be better if the wizard had a shadow, but he lacks one.

8) Grill

It was a thing that internet people would jokingly write “grill” instead of “girl”, presumably originating from a typo. I haven’t seen this used in recent times. I think the meme must be dead.

It’s based on this Pixabay photo, where a man is looking into the lady’s eyes. As with the RuneScape photo, he was edited out using Heal Selection.

9) Swanky place

This is a photo from Pixabay. I very much like the little wizard on the table, about the size as that bottle of mystery purple liquid.

11) Hospital

This is a photo from Pixabay. I don’t know what sort of hospital this is, but it doesn’t look like a very pleasant one. Though if you ask me, no hospital is pleasant, given the very nature of the need for them to exist.

If someone comes up with a better caption, I may replace this one, as joking about real illnesses can be a sensitive subject for some.

12) Teacup

This is a photo from Flickr and a new addition for the year 2023. This idea came to me, somehow, and eventually I found a suitable photo. The foremost teacup being empty is really useful for this purpose.

Most of the wizard pictures have a lack of any real people, so this one makes for a nice change. I was sure to avoid obscuring camcorder guy in the background — he really helps tie together the era this photo was taken (2007).
