Free 2D Game Art for Your Projects

[Eric Matyas]

Hi everyone,

I've begun creating 2D game art that you are welcome to freely use in your projects. Some is pixel art, some is derived from 3D objects that I created, and others are backgrounds that might be useful in visual novels and interactive fiction. You'll find them on my new "ART" pages on my website:

http://soundimage.org

The art pages are located at the bottom of the menu list on the right side of the screen.

At this point I'm experimenting with different styles and methods so hopefully I will be able to offer a good variety of things. Please feel free to modify / edit as needed. If you happen to find any of these images helpful and decide to use them, please attribute me in the "game art" section of your credits area.

Enjoy!

I ventured into new territory this week and experimented with creating animated game art. Made a couple of lanterns that might work in RPGs or other things. One is an old style hand-held one...the other might work for a street or attached to a tavern or inn. Both shimmer with an amber glow. You'll find them here:

I also created a treasure chest (with a couple of variations) that might come in handy. They are here:

Feel free to edit as needed.

Enjoy!

I opened a new page this week that has templates for maps. They might be handy for treasure maps, game world maps, etc. Just add graphics and text.

You'll find them here:

Feel free to edit as needed.

Enjoy!

They are here:

Have a good weekend!

Happy Sunday everyone!

I've started experimenting with creating pixel art-style objects. You'll find them here:

ART – Glass Objects

https://soundimage.org/art-glass-objects/

ART – Space

https://soundimage.org/art-space/

As always, feel free to edit as needed.

Cool new textures are on their way tomorrow.

Nice

Regarding your planets, i think they look a bit too even which makes them look odd to me? In general, there'll be a heavy colour gradation on planets from the light side to the dark side. Gas planets will also tend to have latitudinal lines/swirls, whereas rock ones will be quite asymmetrical regarding their continents and craters etc, which works on some of your planets but not others. Anyhow - doing some versions with a light side/dark side colour gradation would be a cool addition.

Great suggestion, thanks! Please feel free to edit / customize any of my art as needed! :-)

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.

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.

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.

**If you find my music helpful, please consider making a donation to my website. The synthesizers I use to create the music and sounds that I share with everyone are very expensive...so expensive, in fact, that I have to make monthly payments on them...and donations really help me a lot to pay for them. Thanks in advance...and please feel free to share your projects...I love to see how creative people are using my work!
