This post will give you a kind of future perspective of the technical progress on earth. These awesome images develop the theme of innovative creatures that possess the human appearance, but at the same time they are highest qualitative ranking androids. The mentioned above spitting illustrations of people and robots create a strong and ambiguous impression: on one side they are similar to people (in their appearance) and on the other they represent eye-catching metal surfaces and intricate schemes. Being the emanation of the human fantasy and the result of progressive technologies these robots bring to life the long-cherished idea of humanity about the artificial integrity. Humanlike machines have always been of a vast interest for all people and this post will nourish such an interest.

Here you will find the great mix of imagination and reality, the desired things and the existing entity. Turn on your imagination and admire this incredible collection.

Title: Boddyshopping
Author: Franz Steiner

Here is one more variation on the theme of body shopping. This girl is trying on the parts of the legs in order to find the right size and the desired shape. According to the author’s idea such a strange shopping is a kind of future perspective.

Author: Nick Deligaris
Software: 3ds max, Brazil r/s, Photoshop

Artificial beauty cold and free from emotions and feelings is perfectly rendered on this image. This lifeless tone and the clear technique show us the robot with the appearance of the beautiful female and current instead of blood that runs the wires inside it.

Software: 3ds max, Brazil r/s, combustion, Photoshop

The overall feeling that leaves this image is so impressive. Strong green colors and semidark tints create slightly somber atmosphere, but it helps to be interpenetrated with this image. It creates the lasting strong impression.

In this stunning image the author speaks about the imaginary future perspective when it would be possible even perform a body shopping. Personally I’m not sure that it is a rosiness, but it’s only my point of view. Nevertheless, it is an awesome pic and it is created with such a maturity.

Author: Marek Okon

The author captures the peak of the struggle between machine and the human being. The whole tone of the image is interpenetrated with a certain tension and it is also reflected in the strong palette. The anatomy and the perspective are done in the incredible style here.

Title: Robot’s Feelings
Author: Cris de Lara

Rather interesting concept – female android that is in agony. She is in passion and it is seen from the expression of her face. Robots have no feelings, but perhaps there are some exceptions and here you can see the one.

Peter Diamond is a Canadian illustrator living and working in Vienna, Austria. You can easily recognize the japanese art influences, some sort of punk art and even mythology. I discovered him and I felt in love with the devils on his blog. If you have seen some anime, like Fullmetal Alchemist, or if you are a fan of the terror movies, like Hellraiser, you are going to understand his sthetic. But there is something intelligent behind his drawings. He explains easily how he can get his inspiration through the observation of exhibitions in museums or investigating a topic. There is nothing about shallow inspiration in the work of Peter. You can read the intelligence in some artworks and this is exactly the case.

About his first works he said:

“In high-school I had my first taste of illustration, when an ambitious friend of mine recruited me to draw posters for the punk rock shows he was organising. It was classic stuff: punks in leather jackets, devils and zombies, scenes of weirdness and bodily harm, and as many crazy typefaces as I could come up with. Since it was all rendered in scrappy black-and-white Xerox, I was forced to put down my pencils, take up inks and learn to draw clearly and boldly. Trying to catch the eyes and the imaginations of the local kids I began to learn the basics of visual communication. “

He moved to Halifax to study Fine Arts at NSCAD University where:

“…I continued to illustrate within the music scene. Those xeroxed flyers lead to commissions for album covers and t-shirts, exhibitions of my illustrations, and judging CD artwork for the Juno Awards in 2007. During my time at NSCAD I also drew comics, publishing an annual collection called LUCKY along with two fellow students. After graduation I began to work in a kitchen, learning to wield a knife by day and building my portfolio by night.

He moved to Vienna, Austria, in 2009:

“Shortly after arriving I attended Yuko Shimizu’s Summer Illustration Workshop in Venice and have since begun freelancing full-time.”

His unpublished piece ‘La Plongeuse et les Chauves-Patates’ has been selected for the American Illustration online gallery ‘THEE’. The Gallery is due to be launched in November of 2010.
