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

    All images can be accessed from here:

    A SPECIAL REQUEST

    If you can, please consider making a small donation on my site to help support it. I don't allow advertising on the site because I feel it would be distracting to my visitors so I pay for everything myself and donations from the community really help me a lot.

    I also have Ogg music packs for sale that are super-reasonable and help to support the site as well.

    Lastly, if you happen to need some original music for a project, I do that as well at very low cost to everyone. One of my goals with this project is to make good-sounding music available to anyone...just give me a shout!

    That said, this week’s new images are on these pages on my site:

    FUR (Artistic)

    GROUND (Artistic)

    METAL (Artistic)

    As always, they are 100% free to use with attribution.

    Enjoy!

    THEMED MUSIC PACKS

    Themed music packs are on the way and will be available in higher-quality Ogg format. This should make the task of finding music for your projects a lot easier.

    In the meantime, you can still download packs containing all of my tracks to date for various genres, like:

    Action
    Fantasy
    Chiptunes
    Sci-Fi
    Dark/Ominous
    Horror/Surreal
    Puzzle Music

    You can access them here:

    https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/

    Links to the packs also appear at the top of my music pages.

    Enjoy and please stay healthy. :-)
