I started making some snake skin brushes for Adobe Illustrator 13. I'll be making a downloads page with these on my website, but I thought I'd test them here first. I plan on doing ball python morphs if I don't get bored of this before I get a chance, but for now I made seven kingsnake phases and morphs. No heads or tails for now, this is sort of an early beta version, but I will probably draw heads and tails for the ball pythons, so you can draw a squigly line and apply the brush pattern, and the line will turn into a snake. Right now it's just the body patterns. Draw your own heads. This is a zipped brush file for PC. I thought these might be useful for logos and stuff, and the patterns can be pulled out and turned into fill swatches to make tiled backgrounds for web pages and junk.

Here is a link to the brush set:

Here are samples of the brushes included. These are squiggly lines that have had the brushes applied.



Here is a sample of what can be done with a little editing of a pattern and turning it into a swatch:


Enjoy. Feedback is appreciated, and if you use any of these let me know so I can see what kind of creative things people can come up with for these.
