Free Vector Skulls Pack
In the Reggae Vector post I did, I got a comment from dexcel00 asking me if I could please create for him some skull graphics, so I did. I tried to cover several styles of skulls, so more people could find these vectors useful. Most of them where done using the pen tool to trace skulls, but there are some that where autotraced and then coloured using Live Paint in Illustrator. I hope you guys like them, and keep the requests coming in the comments, and I'll do my best to make them.



cool stuff.. i like skull design
why?
It's a Marine thing!
SEMPER FI!!!
Skull design comes from the skull and bones image which was first used by the Templar Knights, pirates started using the flag in their ship to trick others that they where friendly, that's why so many people associate the skull and bones symbol with them. The symbol has been used for along time to mark the entrance of cementaries in Spain and it also forms a big part of the festival of the dead in Mexico.
I think that because this symbol has been used for such a long time and has been associated with so many cultures and with death, it has become visually, a very powerful symbol. Although I think it has been overused in graphic design lately, I still like when it's properly used.

I'm specifically looking for vector graphics of animal skulls like bulls and birds in profile. Does anyone know where to find those?
Try one of GoMedia's Vector Packs, I know they have animal skulls and birds and other stuff in some of their packs.
