Detailed personal art is a thing I rarely ever finish on account of time and other commitments, but I also subscribe to the annual "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'LL DRAW WHAT I WANT" break, so last week for said birthiversary, I elected to complete this little icon I'd doodled on a whim back in December.
Stylistically it's a direct tribute to Hajime Sorayama's airbrush work, specifically his "gynoid" fembots, which fascinated me as a teenager. I'd attempted to work in his style once back then and mangled it horribly, so it's very satisfying to produce a much closer approximation now with comparative ease. (Though of course Sorayama's pieces were all traditional media, which is another level of mind blowing that I hope to manage someday - it'd be great fun to learn how to airbrush!)
Conceptually, the thread she's holding was inspired by the opening to Westworld; specifically, the scene of a 3D printer pulling first a string onto a violin, echoed by doing the same with a freshly minted tendon onto a robot's bone. It's a goddamn gorgeous piece and I'd highly recommend looking up said opening credits if you've never seen the show.
Anyway, have a robot wolfdog gynoid wryly contemplating her own existence. ♥

Very nice piece since I'm always fascinated by 'furry' androids/gynoids and their take on existence, especially if they've been created more as a fun venture than for a serious purpose due to being 'furries' - one random idea which I've had, is one ending up being buried under rubble for eons during a major war, and waking up eventually when unearthed only to find out that the descendants of the ones who created him/her as a plaything are now practically revering her/him due to how much technology and science has regressed.
Oh gosh yes do I recall Sorayama's works. He and of course Alberto Vargas were masters of the airbrush and had techniques that set standards of illustration for decades. I only used airbrushes to paint my plastic models and figures, and I was scared to death of my Paache' double action, but I was pretty good with the H single action model.
I'll give you a hint as to how these artists created such wonderous images in "Traditional" media. They worked BIG. I mean life sized, or billboard sized big.
I encourage you if you ever get a chance, pick up a single action airbrush and just start spritzing away. .

Oh man, this is amazing. Sorayama is, and had been since I was a child, my favorite artist of all time. I have a couple of his art books in my book shelf. The way shaded and laid down the contrasting highlights looks amazing. Your sense of light direction is fantastic. I really adore the use of the more warm colors for the shading, especially on the neck! You did an amazing job. I love this!
