Robot Hands
Working in the science fiction realm was a bit of a scary thought for me. I’ve always been one to be more grounded in reality and working with robots, aliens, androids, etc. never seemed appealing to me until I had a little chat with a friend of writer friend of mine.
He said, quite simply, that I was looking at it wrong. The mistake people make is that they treat robots like robots. Giving them those silly voices and robotic movements. The whole thing that makes robots interesting is their possible relationship with humans. The more human the robot the more interesting the story tends to be. When he said that I realized that what I really had to do was imagine classic, iconic images that spoke to me and then simply swap out the person for a robot.
This image is a first in a series of images where high society takes on a metallic twist. It seems only fitting in today’s age of technology that the idea of elegance somehow seems to fit with a technological marvel like synthetic life.
