Could someone point me to a website with free images I could legally use in a game? I would like to choose completely free-to-use images just in case I may want to earn money from the game somehow (very small chance, I know).
Free Images?
Have you had a look at the "free art assets" topic pinned in this forum? It has links to some good options.

Well, you could just try google image search, but with the "usage rights" set to "labeled for reuse"?

I've heard that's not perfect.

Nothing is perfect. Imperfect methods can get you started down a path that will get you where you want to be.

What about Wikimedia commons? Those have pretty broad licenses as I recall.
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
pixabay.com has a ton of public domain clipart.

They have art from commercial games there, licensed under CC-BY-SA. I'm sure if you use it, that can easily get you in trouble. As experiment, I uploaded Wikipedia broforce sptries to OGA, which got me instabanned there, despite site rules allowing CC-BY-SA art. See https://github.com/saniv/free-game-art for the full story. TLDR: Creative Commons license still doesn't mean you can use it.

Apologies for the very late response. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this to me a little more. I'm not sure I fully understand it.
