RE: Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone - Eric Matyas - 06-02-2019
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.
https://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.
https://soundimage.org/txr-ground/
On my TXR – ORGANIC page:
One that could be an alien skin perhaps.
https://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.
https://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!

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!
https://soundimage.org/txr-abstract/
TXR – ALIEN SKINS
Some nasty looking stuff here…blech!
https://soundimage.org/txr-alien-skins/
TXR - METAL – SEAMLESS
These grungy metal textures might be useful for sci-fi or urban-themed projects.

Btw, I’ve begun my quest to expand the free sound effects section of my website. Any requests?
RE: Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone - Eric Matyas - 06-25-2019
Another super-busy week last week, but I did manage to create a bunch of new grimy metal textures. They live here:
TXR – Metal - Seamless
https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-seamless/

More cool new music tracks are on their way later in the week.
See you then!

Hi guys,
I’m in the middle of a big project, but I managed to get some new free textures done for everyone. They are on the following pages:
TXR – BRICK - Seamless
Some new fantasy cobblestone images. Maybe useful for paths and roads in fantasy-based games?
https://soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless/
TXR - ABSTRACT
Some new abstract textures. Maybe for sci-fi projects?
https://soundimage.org/txr-abstract/
Enjoy!
RE: Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone - Eric Matyas - 08-20-2019
Greetings fellow creatives,
If anyone is interested, I was recently asked to do an interview for a website called Exilian. Hopefully my answers were entertaining and (somewhat) intelligent…lol. Here’s a link if anyone wants to check it out:
https://exilian.co.uk/articles.php
That said, this week’s cool new textures are on the following pages:
TXR – BRICK - Seamless
Some really interesting brick textures.
https://soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless/
TXR – ROCK/STONE – Seamless
Some new stone textures that could be used for old roads, paths, castles, etc. Some have grass between the stones, too.
https://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone-seamless/
More music is on its way as well as some cool new city ambient sounds.
Keep being creative!
RE: Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone - Eric Matyas - 08-27-2019
Hey everyone,
For those of you who have been using my original music in your projects, I’ve had a good number of requests for uncompressed versions of my tracks, so I’ve begun making them available on Gumroad for a small fee to help support the site. The MP3 files that I make freely available sound very good, but the original uncompressed WAV files really sound incredible…give them a try!
If anyone is curious as to why I didn’t upload WAV files onto my site to begin with, the reason is that my web hosting service places limitations on file sizes and WAV files tend to be very large.
Anyhow, it’s going to take some time to upload everything, so if anyone has any requests for WAV versions of tracks you happen to like, just drop me an email and I’ll upload them to Gumroad for you. Feel free to convert to Ogg (or any format you like.)
That said, this week’s new free textures are on the following pages:
TXR – BRICK - Seamless
These might be really nice for castles.
https://soundimage.org/txr-brick-seamless/
TXR – WOOD – Seamless
Perhaps for old doors, structures, barrels or other things.
https://soundimage.org/txr-wood-seamless/
More music and ambient sounds coming this week.
Enjoy and keep being creative!
RE: Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone - Eric Matyas - 09-02-2019
Hi guys,
New free images are waiting for your projects on these pages:
ART – Cobblestones
More mad experimenting. I made some pixel art style images from a couple of my cobblestone images. Maybe for castles and things? They look pretty cool scaled down. Feel free to edit / take samples from them / scale them as needed, etc.
https://soundimage.org/art-cobblestones/
ART – Brick
Some new pixel art-style brick images. Trying to come up with some fresh new looks. Feel free to edit / take samples from them / scale them as needed, etc.
https://soundimage.org/art-brick/
MUSIC UPDATE:
WAV files proved too large to upload onto Gumroad in any reasonable amount of time…(we’re talking about 1900+ tracks) so I’m uploading Ogg files instead. I’ve started with my Fantasy page. They sound really great…give them a try!
Meanwhile, if anyone has requests for WAV versions of tracks you happen to like, feel free to contact me.
Have a good week and keep being creative!
RE: Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone - Eric Matyas - 09-18-2019
Hi guys,
I’ve been super busy this week creating custom music for a bunch of indie projects, but I did manage some more mad experiments with pixel art-style wood tiles...128X128. You can download them freely here:
https://soundimage.org/art-wood/
OGG MUSIC UPDATE:
All of the music tracks on my Horror/Surreal page can now be downloaded as very high-quality Ogg files. Halloween’s not too far off, so I’ll try to create more creepy music tracks this month.
Meanwhile, if anyone has requests for Ogg versions of tracks that haven’t been made available yet, just let me know and I’ll be happy to upload them for you.
Enjoy!
RE: Building a Free Library of Images for Everyone - Eric Matyas - 10-21-2019
I was busy shooting a film over the weekend, but I managed to do some mad experiments creating pixel art-style tiles. These were derived from glass surfaces, but might be used for other things as well. Free to use with attribution. Enjoy!
