Kirk Quilaquil

Quilaquil was born in 1990, Hertfordshire, England. He is a freelance digital and physical concept artist/illustrator. Quilaquil has gained a BA Hons in Animation.


this is a digital art image of a portrait. Quilaquil has only used black and white to make this image. to produce tone in his image he has used mark making techniques like lines, crosshatching and overlaying. this gives the image a very sketchy feel to it which makes me appreciate his skills. the proportions of the  face, body and props used is all accurate. the viewer first looks at the heart shaped smoke and is lead through the image from there through to the face and hat; then down the back and shoulder. the most inspiring thing about this photograph is the subjects clothing. it is very casual and quite mysterious which often explains the environment that surrounds gambling.


This is also digital artwork and it is called The Jester. The use of expression is very effective because the female is very serious as if she is determined to win, however the bright colours, mask and positioning of the cards, roses and ribbon falling all connotes having fun. I really like this piece because of how much it contrasts with itself. This image shows the extreme fashion that could be linked to gambling and card tricks which I really like. If I am able to make/find clothing similar to this then I may be able to create some extreme fashion that is related to gambling. Her pose suggests that she is scared or nervous, this is because she is holding her arm suggesting she needs some support and protection. Her dipped head shows that she isn't confident or proud. Maybe she is ashamed to be dressed like this or ashamed to be in that situation.
