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.

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.
