Finals Week & Part 1 add project

Its finals week, the last one in the quarter we will experience in the quarter system. This is a piece of a larger project due in a few dies. I modeled this hand after the Bebionic Hand by RSL steeper. I have some minor tweaking left and I plan to rig it.

Eye x100,000

Its been a busy past few weeks. I've updated the video on white blood cell extravasation in the previous post a few times. The system we use on campus to load the file to make the video has been acting up; rendering the individual scenes to compile the movie took 3x as long. Not to mention I ran it through 8 times. This roadblock comes with the territory.

Since then I've just about finished this project. Its a cellular landscape on the eye. The outermost layer is compiled of a mesh of fibroblasts. Its common to see gaps between these (crypts). Their actually visible with the naked eye. The octopus looking creature is a macrophage and below that its a nucleus of a fibroblast (they contain to nuclei: depicted in silhouette). As with my other work the final pieces will be on my website.

Neck Dissection conclusion

Final piece for the neck teaching lesson. The figure's right side focuses entirely on the musculature of the neck and on the left are the significant nerves and arteries. Its objective is to orient the viewer to the spacial relationships between these hard and soft tissues. 

I had to fix the omohyoid muscle, since the previous version I posted. It should travel anteriorly and superiorly to the brachial plexus before the tendon, and posteriorly after. 

Final T. sethi

My final, done in illustrator. Took forever, but its a dinosaur how could I be mad? For some reason when you click to enlarge this one the water colors swap.

On snowy Nemo

My quarter is coming to close these next few weeks. Pretty exhausted at this point. Its been snowing nonstop in rochester. Today is the first of a particularly bad storm, Nemo. A foot of snow expected.  There are three projects left to complete. The one below, a character animation in maya, and a scientific illustration of a certain dinosaur (tba). 

There is my progress thus far on a project focused neck anatomy. I like to start all my paintings in grayscale, Glen (my teacher) pushes a focus on light and form in particular.

Learning to Walk

I'm working on animating a walk cycle in maya. Before all this I had a an hour long video shoot for the sake of references with some gifted grads in my major. The rig and model are provided.  

Theres something very fulfilling in animating yourself as a cartoon character, whose yellow no less.

Type 1 Allergic Reaction Process

Drawn at random from a baseball cap I was given the task of illustrating a Type 1 allergic reaction. In this reaction the body responds to an allergy with a long term reaction, as opposed to an immediate sneeze. The majority of the sources I found used lab data with animal testing as an example on how the immune system can be tricked into reacting to harmless invaders. Two doses of egg albumen results in an allergy and a histamine release which will among other things dilate capillaries.

On Self Dissection (cont.)

It's the first week back in school from winter break. I brought a cold with me.
