Hajime Sorayama (5)

Here is another hyper-real selection of Hajime Sorayama’s masterful, airbrush craftsmanship.

Top: This final example features one of Sorayama’s famous ‘Gynoid’ creations which I posted a little more about way back in September 2008. Something so quintessentially 80’s about not just this one but all three examples here. Love them!

Middle: Although it’s what he’s most renowned for not all Sorayama’s work revolves around scantily clad females and robotic metamorphism. On a more advertising/commercial tip he also produced a series of metallic animals of which this dinosaur creature is one. Again check the beautiful detailing, such as the ever-so-spindly chromed hydraulics.

Bottom: This sultry vixen, adorned in glimmering chrome and gold crested armour is typical Sorayama subject material. If your familiar with this strain of Sorayama’s work you’ll know how far he veers into fetishistic porno, by his standards this example only vaguely hint’s at eroticism.

What I love about this piece is not just the flawless, impeccable rendering but more so the suit’s detailing, look closer and you’ll see many of Hajime’s familiar trademarks such as the venting on her inner left thigh and the tiny winglets on the left forearm. It’s as complicated and fussy a design as a modern F1 car, and every bit as amazing.

Also of interest, I featured a post on British Illustrator Jasper Goodall who admits to being a fan, if you missed that it’s definitely worth a look check it here.
