Nice Shooting, Son

By Jordan Ginsberg • Feb 10th, 2009 • Category: ModBlog


I definitely feel like I’m missing the reference here, so until someone enlightens me as to who or what the subject of this stellar piece by Dustin Poole from Sacred Balance actually is, I’m just going to believe it to be the cyber-sexy offspring of Silver Surfer and lovable droid C3PO. Prove me wrong, ModBlog! Prove me wrong.

  2. JoeMetal on February 10th, 2009 at 9:05 pm:

    It looks like a sexed up version of the girl on the cover of Metropolis.

  3. Geekomatic on February 10th, 2009 at 9:05 pm:

    This is a figure from an 80’s computer animation commissioned by the US Steel industry. You might be able to find it on Youtube. Was very cutting edge for its time.

    I looks like illustration work by Hajime Sorayama.

    oh wow I’m happy to know where this is from,
    but i can’t remember the artist, i have a collection of his…
    or really its my fathers which is weirder if you’ve seen alot of his work
    but if i had to guess i would go with Orchestras answer -.-
    i can tell you by Thursday.. or you could do a little creative googling.
    i’m positive someone on modblog can answer this thou.

    Reminded me of metropolis, too, but it’s different.

  8. ServMe on February 10th, 2009 at 9:23 pm:

    It’s one designed by Sorayama, more here : http://www.sorayama.net

    Similar to the pics in the links posted , my first reaction was it resembled the woman on the cover of Aerosmith’s album “Just Push Play”. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fAT7UABRBOo/R6H_lmaAr7I/AAAAAAAAAqE/DHCrWKXsaXU/Aerosmith_Just_Push_Play-%5BFront%5D-%5Bwww.FreeCovers.net%5D.jpg

    That robot’s from an Aerosmith album.

  12. Jesus on February 10th, 2009 at 11:05 pm:

    Definitely Aerosmith

  13. sublimerotica on February 10th, 2009 at 11:31 pm:

    7 - That’s what I thought.

  14. mollysb on February 10th, 2009 at 11:38 pm:

    I’d agree with Joe and sat it’s the robot girl from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis: http://www.german-films.de/content/2/focus-metropolis.jpg
    Also:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017136/

    I’d say Sorayama’s design was based on the robot from Metropolis buuut… You know I don’t know.

  15. pretty_little_monster on February 10th, 2009 at 11:44 pm:

    but that aerosmith album cover was created by sorayama. sooo everybodys right.

  16. Jon P on February 11th, 2009 at 12:31 am:

    I am nto a fan of the captions now. “nice shooting son” wtf?

  17. (A)ndy on February 11th, 2009 at 12:33 am:

    Fritz Lang totally stole that idea from Aerosmith

  18. DistortedSmiles on February 11th, 2009 at 1:46 am:

    This is very good

  19. emily on February 11th, 2009 at 1:59 am:

    it is the maid from the jetsons when she was twenty years younger….

  20. .margaret. on February 11th, 2009 at 2:59 am:

    She was on the cover of an issue of Heavy Metal!
    C’mon, guys!

  21. Dandi on February 11th, 2009 at 4:28 am:

    I love it :)

  22. JessieCookie on February 11th, 2009 at 8:16 am:

    Reminds me of the robot from Jackson 5, Dancing Machine!

  23. alina on February 11th, 2009 at 8:42 am:

    it’s from aerosmith album, i’m pretty sure…
    i would guess “just push play”, the one with jaded and fly away from here.

  24. coolerthanjohnetu on February 11th, 2009 at 10:01 am:

    i think you guys missed the fact its a dude. wouldnt that be awkward.

  25. Stefunee on February 11th, 2009 at 3:36 pm:

    I figured I saw this somewhere in the music world.

  26. Jessorz on February 11th, 2009 at 7:18 pm:

    the Aerosmith album was what I thought of first.

  27. kaos one on February 11th, 2009 at 8:05 pm:

    sorayama kicks ass too!

  28. Random. on February 11th, 2009 at 10:26 pm:

    Does anyone read before posting?
    I dig this, metal can be tricky to render, but this was well done. I feel like the head could use some work though, some blue thrown in.

  29. Tye on February 12th, 2009 at 4:41 pm:

    This reminded me of Astar the war amps robot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_QMcRSuXzE

  30. seven on February 12th, 2009 at 6:50 pm:

    riiiight haha i knew it looked familiar… totally bomb tho.. - agree with post28. XD

  31. Amy on February 13th, 2009 at 3:36 pm:

    I lol’d at 17.

    I thought Metropolis at first too, then I figured it looked more like the robot girl from Just Push Play (huge ‘Smith fan, should have seen it first but w/ever)

    either way, lovely work
