Let's see some snakes

[graphicsbag]

I recently just finished designing a community of sites for a reptile company. They wanted a mascot and I played around with some of the default line gallery lines in Xara. I ended up producing a very simple mascot using just a bezier line. The mascot can be seen here http://www.reptster.com.

I decided to do another and am pleasantly surprised with how fast and easy it is to create these snakes just using the rain drop line setting. Anyway, here is a quick study:



I'm interested in seeing some snakes from you guys. Please post em.

Cute snakes GB.

Nice but they look kind of wormy. I guess some snakes look that way.

Snakes galore. Maybe they just ate. Good looking mascots GB.

A4hire,

I did think they looked a little wormy myself. I wanted this to be super simple so that I could re-create it in a few simple steps.

Soquili, I like the gradient. Im hoping your entry inspires more people to throw a design together.

Gray, compliments from you are enough said in my opinion. You have great work. Please feel free to show us your take on some Xara snakes.

Thanks GB. The snake body consists of two lines. The top line is a darker green and feathered 15 pixels.

I thought an animated version may prompt some other participation.

you won't ever see animation from this poster... But here's a legless criter from Australia using the graphicsbag line-stroke method...

Here is a snake doodle I did a way long ago... Just updated it a little... If I remember correctly, I think this was a blend along a curve.

Steve, that's one mean looking snake. One of the reasons I'd never choose
Australia as a place to live (or die). There seems to be an inordinate
amount of wildlife there that can inflict grievous harm on humans.

These little critters are harmless, however. In fact I think they are more closely
related to jellied eels. No font, just a bunch of lines converted
to shapes. No attempt at realism either, as you can see. I wanted to
try my hand at interweaving, and I liked the result.
Saludos,
Bob.
