    Give examples of what kind of grunge you are looking for...otherwise everyone with grunge sigs could think you meant one like theirs.

    Check out my brushes. They may help you. - Click my siggy.

    Also try duplicating your render, motion blur it by around 100, then set it to overlay - it may give you a grunge tupe look.

    Maybe it's grungestract, try getting some brushes and playing around with it, new styles on grunging also helps, maybe have a bg layer of clouds or just plain black. Maybe brush with white or maybe just brush on a plain layer. All ways to grunge ;)

    the best result i get from a grabstract is using jashins set 9-14.

    What i do is:

    Filter>render>clouds

    New layer

    Alternate from black to white on a new layer each time you brush. Keep to no more than three brush strokes per layer. DOnt over do one brush.

    Do 6-10 layers of brushing alternating from balck to white, or until you havea result you are satisfied with.

    Next is the most important layer....Color Balance...Note i left out any render stuff, assuming you know that.

    I do 2-3 color balance layer, or unitl i havea nice color that i like. Now to get a good color balance could take some time if you dont know alittle about colors. So dont get frustrated if it doesnt work the first time or two.

    And that is pretty much it. Good luck and have fun.

    Yeah it's kinda hard to do grunge abstract sigs, that look decent. It's even harder to find good brushes
