Not human, but definitely Asian: Yuka by Lukasz Szeflinski. Click image to enlarge.

Here’s a different kind of Asian Siren: one who isn’t human. Actroid DER2 started her job as guide robot at Sanrio headquarters on October 4. Created by Sanrio robotics company Kokoro, DER2 is an upgraded version of Actroid DER, who graced the 2005 World Expo. DER2’s upgrades include thinner arms, more expressions, smoother movements, and yes, a bigger rack.

She’s an expensive date, though. Expect to shell out 400,000 yen ($3,500) to have her charm your guests at a five-day shindig, plus extra fees for support, delivery, and choreography changes. Pony up an extra 80,000 yen if you want her to stay an extra day.

Compare with her predecessor, DER. See what I mean by upgrades?

Thailand… I really should visit sometime. This was a campaign done for Lynx Deodorant a few years ago. Found on Twenty Four.

Pretty impressive robot we’ve got here… I am guessing Japanese! 😉

Another one for the Design & Art category (don’t worry guys, later today I have a nice model for you again! ;-)).

I spotted a customized Vespa scooter on the sidewalk last week. Thought this Snar guy did a pretty cool paint job here! Cute Asian model huh? Want to know more about his work and philosophy? Then check out his website.

Nice ad for Olympus’ new slimline digital camera’s. Not sure, but it is said that bbdo malaysia did the campaign. Spotted on: Twenty Four
