Tribal Photoshop Brushes Now High Resolution!


Both of my tribal designs sets (which had been called “Large” and “Small” and should have been called “Tiny” and “Tinier”) are now completely made into very high resolution brushes! They average about 2250 pixels or so in size between the two sets. That’s quite an increase from the average of probably 300 or so pixels that they were previously.

The tribal sets were some of my very first brush sets, and as such, I had very little idea on what sizes to make them. Now I know that bigger is always better, and so I decided to remake them. The designs are the same, btw. “Tribal I” is what used to be “Tribal (Small)”, and “Tribal II” is what used to be “Tribal (Large)” - if anyone is keeping track. But your best bet, if you have these two downloaded, is to just delete the old two and redownload. They’re named differently, so they won’t resave over your old sets. Keeping their names “Large” and “Small” just didn’t make much sense, though. ;)

A new set will be available next week, and over the next few weeks I plan on going back and making little “fixes” to every brush set that really needs it. There’s a few sets out there with not-completely-white backgrounds for some of the brushes, resulting in that faint, icky square surrounding the brush. I try to check for that really well, but inevitably a few slip few (more than a few in my earlier days). I’ll always let you know in my weekly posts which ones I fixed, so you know to redownload if you already have the set.

Random Brush Tip:

If you’re ever having trouble loading or downloading a brush set from somewhere, here’s a useful tip as an alternative to placing the brush set in your Photoshop Brushes directory. (This is mostly for beginners - I get asked this question a LOT, though!)

Download the ABR or ZIP file directly to your desktop. If it’s a ZIP file, unzip it right there on your desktop, too.

Open Photoshop, then click on your brush tool. Just under the top menu, click on the small arrow just to the right of the brush thumbnail. Now click on the arrow on the right side of the window that opens to get to the Brush Preset Picker.

Instead of loading a brush set like you would if you’d placed it into your Photoshop directory, you can also choose “Replace Brushes..” from that menu. Do so now. It will ask you what to replace the brushes with. Find that file on your desktop. Choose it and then click “Load.” It should now be loaded in place of your previous set.

If it’s not, then there’s either something wrong with the set or you didn’t unzip the file. :)

Hey!! I love your website, so much that I really want to bring to your attention that when I try to get to the downloads page I get a 403 Forbidden.

I’ve been using your site to download brushes for a few weeks now, it was working just fine last night.

Please please please let me know what’s up because I LOVE the brushes you have available and you’re the ONLY one with wicked kickass tribal brushes.

Please Please Please and Thank you!!
