made a rock texture using alpha channels, clouds and lighting effects. Then engraved the first letters of my name in it.
Used a blood brush i found here on a dark red using the 'Darken' Blending mode to get a nice blood effect
I created the snake after wards on a new document....
made a shadowed cilinder form with blurred alpha channels and applied lighting effects afterwards and applied a snake textrue in the 'Overlay' blending mode...to make it look like a snake i used the liquify option (to make the S forms in it)
Very first time i tried making something like this...and i don't think it went that bad...but drop a comment i'd like to know what you people think
