Django images not loading even after using --insecure

Question

I tried to make custom 404 error page. I changed debug=True to debug=False and run local django server as >python manage.py runserver --insecure. Doing so website is loading css but didn't load images. All the images didn't load even after using --insecure. With debug=True all of css and images were loading. I have removed some extra portion of settings.py hope below covers important ones.

settings.py

import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

DEBUG = False

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

'django.contrib.admin',

urlpatterns = [

url(r'^$', views.home_page, name='home_page'),
url(r'^games/', include('upload.urls')),
url(r'^contact/', views.contact_page, name='contact_page'),
url(r'^search/$', views.search_result, name='search-result')
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

try add this in project/urls.py

...
from django.views.static import serve
...

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, }),
    ...
    ]
