Description
When I was drawing my Devil's Serenade picture, I tried to look up references of many different angles of skulls, but I couldn't seem to find very many. I ended up just taking the cast of a human skull that I own and holding it in my hand while I drew it's positioning.I figured that it might be handy to some artists out there to have a bunch of skull images facing all sorts of different angles and directions for photomanipulations and references.
In the downloadable content, the files are much larger and there are more images included.

For anyone interested in purchasing their own personal skull mold, you can buy them here on a lovely website called Dapper Cadaver, which sells a hundred other awesome strange props and doodads: www.dappercadaver.com/categori…
Tedathin1 made a rotating gif icon of the stock. Here it is:
A DD!! Woo! Thanks to sincebecomeswhy for the suggestion. And thanks to Elandria for the selection!
OMG! For the first time ever, I'm on the front page for "Popular: All Time" for the Stock: Other category. I'm filled with giggles.

it looks strange the sutures are really straight or even completely fused. Pterion is not visible at all. but it's great for artistic reference. *thumbs up*

Yeah, it's a cast of a skull made out of plaster. I guess the finer details were lost in the molding.

Yeah, you might get a couple of sideways glances if you're toting around your skull on business trips.

l was trying to find some, but even googeling and looking on DA, l could not find the angle l was looking for! the fact that you have taken
from all angles and so plain, without anything that interfers is great!
like l said before, you did a super job with this one!!

I had the same problem! When I tried to search for references they were all from basically the same angle. I could hardly find any images of a skull from behind or underneath. I'm really glad to make something useful to so many artists.

I have a few animal skulls, I already posted the deer. One day soon, I'll get around to the steer skull, those horns are going to be hard, I can already tell.
