I am searching for higher rez pics of animal fur patterns, feathers still on the bird, and scales reptile and fish. I can find wonderful metal, cloth, processed leather. ect. anybody know if any site has good animal skin patterns. Pay or free don't care. Thanks, tony

I have to search my links - but I have some someplace. It's a korean site as I recall. I'll check when I get home. If it's dead, I can send you some of my collection. Any particular species?

Thank you, I didn't think any one was going to know. What I am looking for is a good assortment of jungle and forest mamals, cheeta and other cats in particular, but ruff fur like bear, fox or wolf too. Various colorful birds, Pecock in particular, any colorfull fish scales and fins. Chanses are if you think its cool I will too and I thank you for sharing. I am really trying to build up a data base myself I have lots of asorted fabric and metals and such no organics I am wasnting to start a Manimal set of textures for a new piece I have in the works. I would be glad to share the end results with you, It is kind of an animal equivelent to earth air and fire and water. Thanks Tony

Lyrra If you're thinking of the old BioKordic site that was an archive for pics posted on the usenet newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.animals it no longer exists. However it has been combined with a couple of other sites & has been resurrected as... http://www.animalpicturesarchive.com/

Cooler, The one I was thinking of was called 'BioInfo' for a while and had a KR URL, and also archived A.B.P.animals might have been a mirror? thanks for the link! I also have a slew of files that someone from here put up a while back. I'll check for the link once I get home. Most of the animal images I have are sections from photos. I have some lovely bird scans if you want neat feathers. I usually use one for inspiration and paint from scratch - jpg's create color imperfections that bother me.

I thank you all for any and all help, The feathers sound great. Personally I combine painted and photo layers. It can ( if done right ) give me the best of both worlds. Tony Thanks for the above link too. I haven't had a chance to look over really well yet but it will help.
