As designers and illustrators there’s just something about skulls that we can’t resist. Maybe it’s the influence of our favourite metal bands or the creative inspiration we’re fed from tattoo culture. This post rounds up a collection of talented digital illustrators and artists and showcases their best skull based designs and artworks. Remember to follow the links through to each designer’s website, behind each artwork is a portfolio full of more amazing pieces.

The Briggs by Brian Ewing is so cool!
Great list. Hydro74 is a monster!
All of them are awesome, a great collection.
Love Scion and Nike 10 – the Warhol-esque skull on yellow is a classic…
Awesome stuff, love ‘Nike10’ and ‘Skull Portait’.

Thanks for presenting an informative article…
Hydro74 is crazy good… I love that photoshop one on here. I think might have watched a photoshop speed-drawing of a skull underwater, and I feel like it must have been him. Awesome either way
Great feature and nicely timed for Halloween! Our design agency is always on the look out for freelance illustrators of a high caliber such as this.

This is great inspiration for a band I’m doing some print material for, they’ve got an 80s metal theme. I love creatively inspirational articles like this, I also found one using post-its thats pretty cool as well:
