Brush Set Three: 45 More Subtle Grunge Brushes
We’re back with a brand new set of soft and subtle grunge brushes. You can use these super soft and subtle brushes to build up your own textures in your designs with incredible ease, it’s also really easy to manipulate them in your own way to build up unique patterns and textures.
Example of Brushes
Obviously you can use these however you want, but our best advice is to build up layers of texture in a subtle way. Play around with the various brushes – and build up the realistic textures by varying colours, opacity and placement. What you should aim for is something that looks natural and organic.

A Big Thank you to our Contributors
As many of you know, I did this set a little differently. For the first time ever we looked for outside help for gathering the original textures used in the set. I asked people to take pictures of interesting surfaces and send them to me, the following awesome people played a big part in making this such an awesome set:
Design Shard – http://www.designshard.com
Caleb Kimbrough – http://lostandtaken.com
WeGraphics – http://www.wegraphics.net
Succodesign- http://www.succodesign.it
DS Squared.com- http://www.dssquared.com
ESWAT – http://www.eswat.ca
There was many more, but the above ones are the people I know I used for sure. If you think I’m missing you let me know and I’ll add you to the list.

Excellent, I’m looking forward trying them out.
Much appreciated, Liam.
Very nice work Liam! Big thanks.
Thanks Liam!
Thanks so much man. I do respect designers/developers who give things for free, it shows they do it with passion. I also do respect people who donate, which is what I’m about to do!
@Alistair & @Pedro Thanks guys.
Yeah the main thing is I make these for myself to use, so that’s my goal achieved right there. After that; why not let everyone else get some use out of them too
is not easy to put on weight

Great brushes.
Thanks a lot. These brushes are great.
Brilliant, downloaded them and trying them out as i write this, will most definatly make a donation once ive had a play, also thanks for the mention.
@Max Stanworth – Haha thanks, although seems kinda twisted donating to something you played a big part in making happen! Much appreciated though, thanks for your help.
Love the brushes. Thanks so much!
Can’t wait to crack these open, or unzip as it were!
These are fantastic, thank you!
This is a great resource, keep up the good work. I’m glad people are willing to share their designs for others to use. If no one worked together like this I could only image how slow production would be. Thanks again!
thanks web admin

According Mahmure’deki, was calm when you see it than usual, here is experiencing a problem with the problem.
Im sorry. I usually dont do that but I bought the brushes. I did not even try them before. Im sure they are handy. After looking around your site and work being really pleased with the beauty of what you do i was in a strange way happy. Maybe because of the implications for the future of capitalism that came from this unobstrusive payment option. If everybody cared as much as you do the web would be a better (looking) place.
Cheers
very good collection ideal for any graphic design work, thanks …
Absolutely love the subtle grunge packages you guys have put out. By far the most useful brushes in my collection. Thanks!

The download link doesn’t seem to be working for any of the brush sets. The download links are all going to a 404 page.
Hi! These are really great brushes! Thanks for sharing! But… I can’t seem to download them. The 2nd set of brushes too. When i click on the download link, it leads me to an error page.
Is there some way to fix the links please?
I purchased the brush set thru PayPal and the download did not work. I was redirected to a 404 page. How do I get the brushes?
Thanks,
I also keep getting the 404 “Ooops” page—is there any other way I can get the brush sets?–Would be VERY APPRECIATIVE!!!
-Thanks!
Great set! Thanks very much. I look forward to using them.
Hey guy what’s going on here? I tried to download the brush set for free and it brought me to a 404 page. So I figured I would be a nice guy and actually pay for it. It’s been an hour since I paid for it, but have still yet to receive the brush set, and no it is not in my spam folder. I’d appreciate it if someone could get back to me soon regarding this matter. Thanks.
Just wanted to say Thanks to Liam for getting this taken care of so quickly. Great customer service!
