Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone
by Eric Matyas · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 01/10/2017 (12:10 pm) · 187 replies
Hi everyone,
I've been building a library of images that you are welcome to freely use in your projects. They are all original...all my own work. I think a lot of them could be made into cool textures for games. All I ask is to be attributed as indicated on my homepage:
http://soundimage.org/
The images are on my "TXR" pages.
I'm adding new ones all the time, so be sure to check back often. I sincerely hope that some of them are useful. Any and all constructive feedback is welcome and always appreciated. :-)
All the best,
Eric

More experiments with various game art styles. Iâve got some pixel art-style map templates here:
ART- MAP TEMPLATES
https://soundimage.org/art-map-templates/
Youâll need to scroll down to the bottom of the page.
It was suggested to me that they might also be useful as backgrounds. Feel free to edit and modify as needed.
Btw, if anyone happens to have kids (or know someone who does) Iâve created a learning series that teaches them environmental stewardship in a fun way through stories and characters. It was my first try at making films with a DSLRâ¦(they can be very challenging to work with in the field)â¦but I think the films came out pretty well. The organization I made them for was very happy with them and uses the films all the timeâ¦hopefully others can benefit from them as well. Please feel free to share with teachers, family, friends or anyone you know who might find them useful.
