What about your project's "user manual"? Screenshots are often included, so would be reasonable to include in the source "tarball". FYI, Fossil can automatically create "tarballs" of the files in the repository for a specified version, which defaults to the latest. I suppose a work-around would be to add the image(s) to a specific version of your project, commit that version, then remove (rm) the image(s) from the next version and commit that. Then your pages can link to the image(s) at that specific version of your project, while the automatically made tarballs would not have it/them. Also, besides Fossil created tarballs, your project's build procedure can, possibly should, create release packages. Such packages would contain only what you choose to put in them. (But, see below.) The specific version "trick" I described would work for these, as well as images. > I'd like to put a small screenshot image to illustrate the project's GUI. > Eventually, I will use Chisel to host this project, so perhaps there's a > way to host an image file outside of a project's repository?

So, if you need to host files (images, release packages, other) outside of a Fossil repository, you will need some other arrangement. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations for "general purpose" image /file hosting. Although photo sharing sites like photobucket would *technically* work, using one that way might be against the terms of service.
