These are the scales brushes I used in the painting

I drew them first by hand and then played with the brush settings until it worked for me ^^

Just a few notes:

I put them on a new layer ontop of whatever I want to look scaly, and set the layer to 'Overlay'. Then I apply a layer style of "bevel and emboss" and fiddle around with the settlings until it looks good for my purpose. In the pic above, I set it to 'pillow emboss' with the shadow and highlights set to Overlay as well, and had a very high depth but low bevel size. Complex I know, but it's all just a matter of playing around and having fun.

Also, the scales change direction according to your brush stroke. Have a play before you start something to see how they work ^^;

Enjoy! And please I'd love it if you would show me what you do with these if you use them :)

PS. These were created with Photoshop CS3. I don't know how well they work with Photoshop versions lower than CS.

This brush is so amazing!! How long did it take you to make this? And how did you get it to change direction with the stroke? :iconilikeitplz:

Hello! I'm sorry to just reply now, but I saw your message and thought better late than never!

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to create PS7 brushes - I don't know if it's possible when using a newer version of Photoshop...? If you know of or find a way though let me know and I'll be happy to create a PS7 version.
