  • Hey guys

    I’ve got some cool new music ready for everyone. Free to use with attribution:

    On my Dark / Ominous 2 page:

    MIDNIGHT MIST – What lurks in the mist? Muah hah hah!

    soundimage.org/dark-ominous-2

    On my Sci-Fi 7 page:

    CROSSING THE LIGHT YEARS – This might work under the intro to a space-themed game or project.

    soundimage.org/sci-fi-7

    And on my Technology 2 page:

    DIGITAL DAYDREAMS – Maybe one day machine-beings will daydream…I wonder what it will be about.

    soundimage.org/technology-2

    Enjoy!

  • Incredible work guy. Shame I didn't know about you when I was doing 3d modelling. Some of those textures would have saved me a lot of pain.

    But, I am working on another project now that going to need a sound track. I'll be perusing your wares.

    Thanks and keep up the good stuff.

    Brand new texture images are ready for your projects on these pages:

    TXR –ABSTRACT

    soundimage.org/txr-abstract

    TXR – BRICK - Seamless

    Some bricks covered with moss…

    soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless

    TXR - GROUND

    Perhaps for bottom of a pond...or a walkway….

    soundimage.org/txr-ground

    About 4,000 more images are waiting for you as well. All free to use with attribution. Enjoy and have a good week!

  • Greetings,

    I’ve decided to begin expanding the sound effects section of my website (which desperately needs it) so if anyone has any requests, just let me know.

    One request that I received on social media is for various coin sounds, so here’s a brand new page devoted to that:

    SFX - Coins

    soundimage.org/sfx-coins

    As always, feel free to edit as needed.

    Enjoy!

  • Hey guys,

    More fantasy texture images await you…free as always to use with attribution.

    TXR –ABSTRACT

    They’re pretty wild….I’d be really interested to see how someone puts these to use!

    soundimage.org/txr-abstract

    TXR – ALIEN SKINS

    Some nasty looking stuff here…blech!

    soundimage.org/txr-alien-skins

    TXR - METAL – SEAMLESS

    These grungy metal textures might be useful for sci-fi or urban-themed projects.

    soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless

    Btw, I’ve begun my quest to expand the free sound effects section of my website. Any requests?

  • Hi everyone,

    Here’s a brand new track on my puzzle music 4 page:

    “ELECTRIC RAINDROPS” – (Looping) – Perhaps for a quiet, methodical puzzle with a hint of mystery (and quirkiness.)

    soundimage.org/puzzle-music-4

    Continuing to build up the ambience section of my site…(which is in dire need)… here are some more new ambiences on my AMB - Sci-Fi Ambience page:

    “MIDNIGHT CYBER STREETS” – For a creepy, deserted nighttime situation perhaps.

    soundimage.org/amb-sci-fi-ambience

    “FAILING GRID” – Perhaps in a dystopic cyber world.

    soundimage.org/amb-sci-fi-ambience

    As always, if you happen to use my work in your project, send me a link…I’d love to see it!

    Daily updates are here as I release new assets:

  • Happy June everyone…summer is almost here!

    This week we have a bunch of cool fantasy texture images. Free as always to use with attribution:

    On my TXR – BRICK – Seamless page:

    Some fantasy brick textures that might be useful for old or dilapidated structures.

    soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless

    On my TXR - GROUND page:

    One that could work as a river bed in autumn...or perhaps for something else.

    soundimage.org/txr-ground

    On my TXR – ORGANIC page:

    One that could be an alien skin perhaps.

    soundimage.org/txr-organic

    And on my ROCK/STONE – Seamless page:

    Some new stone texture creations that might come in handy for pathways, buildings or other stone structures.

    soundimage.org/txr-rockstone-seamless

    New sounds are on their way as well…I’ll probably post them on Wednesday. Have a good week and see you then!

  • Happy Thursday!

    This week’s new music tracks are:

    On my Dark / Ominous 2 page:

    "MORE SEWER CREEPERS"– Ah, so that’s why the houses in this neighborhood are so cheap. soundimage.org/dark-ominous-2

    “UNDERGROUND GOINGS-ON" – Perhaps under a city? Or in a network of creepy caves? soundimage.org/dark-ominous-2

    On my Funny 6 page:

    "QUIRKY GOBLINS"– (Looping) – Quietly getting up to their goblin-y mischief. soundimage.org/funny-6

  • I can’t believe May is almost over…what the hell happened to spring? I swear…time is going by faster and faster…yikes!

    Anyhow, more new cartoon-style (for lack of a better word) texture images are here:

    TXR – CONCRETE / PAVEMENT – Cartoon

  • It's great that you're still sharing this 5 years later. I haven't used anything yet from you, but I've heard some great stuff that I can use in the future. Thanks for this.

    You're very welcome! :-)

    Hi everyone,

    Here’s a brand new music track for you:

    On my City/Urban page:

    ON THE PROWL WITH CAPED CRUSADER CAT – Wandering the midnight streets, searching for wrong-doers.

    soundimage.org/city-urban-2

    I’m also working to build up the ambience section of my site…so here are some cool new ambiences on my AMB - Sci-Fi Ambience page:

    MACHINE DREAMS – I wonder what it’s dreaming about? This might sound nice to create an eerie, weird-feeling environment or situation.

    MYSTERIOUS AMBIENCE – This one might work for an alien underwater environment…or perhaps something else.

    soundimage.org/amb-sci-fi-ambience

  • Hey there,

    I’ve posted some more wild cartoon-style texture images derived from glass objects:

    TXR – GLASS – Cartoon

    soundimage.org/txr-glass-cartoon

    As always, please remember that they are meant to be building blocks rather than polished textures, so feel free to edit / alter / mash / etc., as needed.

    Don’t forget to check out my learning series that teaches environmental responsibility in a fun way through stories and characters. The premise is this:

    How can we expect children to be the future stewards of the Earth if they don’t feel connected to it??

    Please share with family, friends, teachers or anyone who might find it useful.

    soundimage.org/dunes-island

    Have a good week!

  • Greetings Earth People,

    This week’s new music tracks are:

    On my Sci-Fi 7 page:

    "INVASION!" – They’re heading this way! Run for your life! Aliens? Zombies? Slimy monsters? Something else entirely?

    soundimage.org/sci-fi-7

    On my Funny 6 page:

    “PARTY GHOULS” - Rockin’ it in their haunted party mansion. This track might be fun in a goofy Halloween-themed game or something like that.

    soundimage.org/funny-6

    And two tracks on my Positive / Upbeat page:

    "OF SUMMERS GONE BY" – Here’s a high energy 80’s-style piece with a sweet, slightly magical feel that might sound nice in a game, video or perhaps something else.

    CAREFREE DAYS AT PELICAN SHORES – Carefree and creative…bouncing around town without a worry in the world. Wouldn’t that be great?

    soundimage.org/positive-upbeat

    All are free to use, as always, with attribution.

    If anyone has kids or younger siblings, I've created a fun environmental learning series that (I hope) will engage them through stories and characters. The organization I made it for uses the films all the time, and I'm sharing them with the rest of the world. Please feel free to check them out and share with friends, parents, teachers or anyone else who might find them helpful.

    soundimage.org/dunes-island

    Keep being creative and have a good weekend!

  • Hey guys,

    More experiments with various game art styles. I’ve got some pixel art-style map templates here:

    ART- MAP TEMPLATES

    soundimage.org/art-map-templates

    You’ll 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) I’ve 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 DSLR…(they can be very challenging to work with in the field)…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 time…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.

    soundimage.org/dunes-island

    Enjoy!

  • Another super busy week…ugh…but I did manage to get a couple of new tracks done. Free as always to use with attribution:

    On my Horror/Surreal page, we have:

    CREEPY ACTION – (Looping) – This track might sound cool in a quick moving horror game…or perhaps something else that combines action with creepiness. It came out pretty well…if you need something like this, give it a try.

    soundimage.org/horrorsurreal

    On my Puzzle Music 4 page:

    CRYSTAL PUZZLES – (Looping) – This track might sound nice in, well, a puzzle game involving crystals….or perhaps other shimmering objects, light rays, etc. It has a techno feel to it as well. Should sound pretty cool under sound fx.

    soundimage.org/puzzle-music-4

    On my City/Urban 2 page, we have:

    soundimage.org/city-urban-2

    On my Puzzle Music 4 page:

    GAME WORLD BUILDERS – (Looping) – Here’s a track that’s kind of mechanical sounding and dreamy at the same time. Perhaps for a construction-based puzzle game? (:57)

    And on my Sci-Fi 7 page:

    ENEMY INFILTRATION – (Looping) – This track has a grungy techno feel and might sound cool under interior battle scenes or other things. Maybe aboard a star cruiser? Or in an alien city? (1:32)
