I discovered the store Kooqla at the United Designers event earlier this fall and “Bisquit”, the latest release from Kooqla is truly a living piece of art. Reminiscent of the brand &Bean that was a fave of mine in 2009ish time frame, primarily because of the lip shape and what appears to be the predominance of hand drawn features. Surreal, romantic and Painterly are the words that pop into my head when describing this release. Imagine a woman from a painting by say Vermeer or Renoir decided to step out from the canvas into modern-day Second Life – this would be “Bisquit.”
When looking for a downside to the skin I only come up with two possibilities: 1. This is not a completely “realistic” skin so it may not be stylistically appealing to all, and 2. Bisquit does have a slight ashy tone to it as well. The second issue though, I believe can be overlooked when you focus on what I interpret as the intent of the skin designer; that is to create a skin that in its essence that is much more fantasy/painterly in style, with obvious brushstrokes and points of uneven/unrealistic skin tones than more mainstream skins. Bisquit is definitely not an every woman skin which is one of the main reasons I was drawn to it so strongly .
So if the day comes for you when you feel the need to be a “living work of art” on the grid, give Kooqla a try.
