Well hello again.

You all know how obsessed I am with freebies by now.

Nothing like a delicious download that costs nada, am I right or am I right?

Hold up Go Media faithful!

Let’s be honest. There’s a time and a place for everything, so having said that, a couple of things:

1. Use at your own discretion and follow the permissions set by your fellow artists. Give credit where credit is due.

2. If you want high quality textures guaranteed to make you drool, stop here. Go directly to the Arsenal.

Here you can grab texture packs like these (including some by yours truly thank-you-very-much)
