The picture of the gynoid is by Hajime Sorayama. He has a very distinct (and slightly NSFW) art style. I'm a computer graphics nerd and I've always been amazed by the curved chrome in his paintings. A lot of my hacky attempts at art tried to replicate that chrome style in Photoshop.
- DoneWithAllThat 1y agoIt frustrates me that the article doesn’t credit him by name. His art was absolutely iconic, even in a sea of other “chrome-tastic” illustrations. Dude was an absolute master of airbrushed chrome aesthetic.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoYeah, trying to think of the origin of the style... Sorayama was the king but perhaps he owes a little to Richard Corben. And perhaps Richard owes something to the guys in So-Cal like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and his "Weirdo" t-shirts. (Ha ha, notorious enough at the time to inspire a Leave it to Beaver episode.)
- kristianp 1y agoHere's some examples of his sexy robots. I don't find them very enjoyable as art, perhaps because they seem to be a human shape wrapped in reflective material, rather than what I'd believe as made of rigid parts. https://web.archive.org/web/20230530003133/https://metalmagazine.eu/en/post/article/hajime-sorayama-machines-with-sex-appeal https://web.archive.org/web/20230530003133/https://metalmaga...

- cwmoore 1y agoOh, wow, new word to me. Like “android”, but gendered. As art, those poses are so strange and familiar. What is the model thinking or feeling?
- kridsdale1 1y ago“Android” is already gendered! Like Andropause, and AndroGynOus.
- cwmoore 1y agoAnd anthropocene?
