Nah, there's a ton of you

Well It's not like I'm good at art....

There's a handful of people who are good with art here, most just pick a pic they like and use that.

Yeah but what if it's copyrighted

You are allowed to use it as long as you don't use it for profit.
The artist may ask you to not use it but that never happens

ok I'll look for one on the internet be right back in an hour.

Yuno, that's the Creative Commons liscense (where only some rights are reserved). By default, any creative work that's recorded is copyrighted by the creator, unless stated otherwise. The creator can create terms (hence why the CC liscense is possible) and allow certain people to share copyright, but by default Copyright law, even if it's not for sweet $$$$ it's still illegal.

If I'm not mistaken, only the copyright holder can pursue charges though, and most non-professional creators are chill with that because they do not make money.

Professional creators (those who do make money off of their work) will probably give you a scolding if it's not transformative (because you essentially just stole their work). It's still morally wrong to use it without consent, so ask someone. There's a lot of art shops too.
