Pile of Skulls by Javi Antunez features 180 reference images of skulls, expertly rendered with 3 different lighting styles, in 15 different poses with 4 variations of jaw bone positioning. Updated in 2020, this toolkit now includes a complete asset library of image files, a PDF reference eBook, and a complete monochromatic stamp set for Procreate and Clip Studio Paint.
Using advanced 3D modeling software, Javi created the ultimate set of skull references. The Ivory skulls are perfect for almost any tattoo where neutral, balanced lighting and contrast are key. The Molten skulls are a great alternative for a colorful skull, with a fantastic balance between contrasting colors and values. Looking for something darker? The Ominous skulls capture the fear in Death’s eyes, with a creepy under-light and a rich blue back light. Using the PDF and image file library, you can easily find, download, and import a perfectly lit skull reference into any design software to customize for your next tattoo project.
In response to feedback from the Tattoo Smart community that wanted a more native option for using these image in Procreate, Javi developed a stamp set of all of the skulls and isolated jaw bones. Restricted to monochromatic sources images due to Procreate’s brush options, Javi created incredibly detailed stamps and finely tuned each to render the widest range of values. That range of values, adjusted with hue/saturation/brightness/curves tools, and the volume of poses, allows you infinite flexibility with a toolkit of one of the most popular tattoo subjects.
