# Hip Female Skull Illustrations Skull Girls 2 Shows Women Revealing More Than Skin By Mesel Isaac | Published 2013-12-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skull-girls References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/illustration/skull-girls/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) & [gaksdesigns](http://www.gaksdesigns.com/Skull-Girls-2) Gerrel Saunders aka Gaks is a [digital artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faceless-avatar) from Trinidad and Tobago with an interesting series of [illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-print-series) entitled 'Skull Girls 2.' Skull Girls 2 is as literal as a title can be, featuring several different women who I'm sure would all look beautiful were it not for their lack of a face. Besides the obvious reason, Skull Girls 2 is a bizarre piece of work to behold. Unlike traditional skulls Saunders has chosen to draw them with a complete head of hair as well as giving them their own unique sense of style, creating the impression that the could be alive were in not for their obvious handicap. While Gerrel Saunders considers his art to be "the convergence of beauty and emotion through the elegance of line and form" he freely admits "I just really like skulls." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Illustrations:** Opportunity to create unique and visually striking artwork using digital mediums. - **Skull Art:** Emerging trend in the art world where skulls are used as a symbol to convey emotion and beauty. - **Female Empowerment:** Trend of celebrating women through art and showcasing their unique qualities and style. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for artists to explore new mediums and techniques in creating skull-themed art. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate skull imagery into their designs, creating edgy and unique clothing. - **Digital Marketing:** Trend of using skull illustrations in advertising campaigns to attract attention and create a bold statement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Resin Hand-Painted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snh003.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Character Crossover Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-x-sanrio.md) - [Visually Morphing Muses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glitchy-bitches.md) - [Afro-Futuristic Marble Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaia.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [3D-Printed Skeletal Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md)
