It’s been lovely to see people collecting the Descendants, my imagined robots based and generated from my own vintage Japanese collection. As you can see these go beyond what you might think a robot should look like, with a more delicate, natural aesthetic.

Each one also comes with its own piece of prose as a description. Here’s the one for the Descendant pictured: “A robot stands, crowned with a bloom of ivory light, its petal-like structures unfurling amidst the shadows. Its body is a tapestry of roseate and coral hues, with limbs cast in a soft luminescence. The legs, adorned with floral motifs, anchor it in a bed of darkness, while the botanical diadem speaks of a synthesis between the organic and the mechanical—a fusion of nature’s delicate artistry with the symmetry of the engineered.”
