More cool new music tracks are on their way later in the week.

Finally got round to donating

Lovely work as ever!

Thanks for supporting my website...it means a lot!

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
https://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!

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.

https://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.)
https://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.
https://soundimage.org/amb-sci-fi-ambience/

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

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!

Eep, I should really get round to donating soon!

I had a quick look at some of the Dune's Island stuff - whilst the "social" scenes are of the kind I find difficult to watch, I love the wildlife footage and I think they're a lovely idea   The explanations of natural history stuff for children are nicely written too, it's an area I've been thinking about with the book I'm writing (which is fantasy, but quite naturalistic and aimed at children). Were all the scripts your writing too?

The pelican episode reminded me of one of my old favourite poems on the subject (which you may know).

Also, did you get my last PM with questions etc?

Yes, I got your PM...I've just been super busy but I'll try to send you some answers soon. And thanks for checking out "Dune's Island"...especially since you're not the target audience for it (unless you happen to be in the 4th grade which I highly doubt! lol.) The idea was to create something that would engage kids without being loud and obnoxious (as many kids programs are...even educational ones.) I also wanted to make something that parents and teachers could watch as well. And yes, I write all of the scripts. Please feel free to share with anyone who might find it of value. :-)

In the meantime...

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.
https://soundimage.org/dark-ominous-2/

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

On my Funny 6 page:
"QUIRKY GOBLINS"– (Looping) – Quietly getting up to their goblin-y mischief.
https://soundimage.org/funny-6/

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.
https://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.

Hey there,

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

TXR – GLASS – Cartoon
https://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.

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?

https://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.

https://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?

https://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.

https://soundimage.org/dunes-island/

Keep being creative and have a good weekend!

Greetings fellow creatives,

I’ve posted new cartoon-style texture images here:

TXR – GLASS – Cartoon

Some wild textures here…

https://soundimage.org/txr-glass-cartoon/

TXR – METAL – Cartoon

Some dirty metal textures…

https://soundimage.org/txr-metal-cartoon/

TXR – ROCK/STONE – Cartoon

https://soundimage.org/txr-rockstone-cartoon/

Please keep in mind that they are meant to be building blocks rather than polished textures, so feel free to edit / alter / mash / etc., as needed.

Btw, if you happen 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 they 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 family, friends, teachers or anyone you know who might find them useful.

Enjoy!

Hey guys,

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

ART- MAP TEMPLATES
https://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.
