Brushes for chainmail details based on some different simplified styles.

All brushes include random brush tip variations for a more natural appearance.
There are 5 different brush shapes + 4 additional transparency variants for drawing chainmail patterns and 1 brush for individual chain links.

  • "Chainmail" 1 & "Chainmail 2" have variable gap size based on pressure. Use less pressure at the edges of curved objects for a more 3D look.
  • "Chainmail 2 Transparent" is a variant of "Chainmail 2" with partial transparency effect.
  • "Chainmail 1 Cloudy" and "Chainmail 2 Cloudy" are variants with more opacity contrast.
  • "Chainmail 3" use with a dark colour on light base for ink/line art style chainmail.
  • "Chainmail 4" for freeform chain link patterns.
Brushes with transparency effects are set to blending mode "Compare density" by default and should be used on a new layer. Otherwise you should change the blending mode for correct output.
