Half good.


Here is YET another project I am working on for my independent study.  My independent study needs to be 4-5 complex projects - this satisfies a 'half' credit so it didn't need to be too intense of a final project.  I still have work to do on it - the eyebrow leaves much to be desired, but overall it's going smoothly. I will be showing John it on Thursday for the first time, so we'll see what he suggests then - eek.  The main focus was the textured iris so the when I post the final, I will have to zoom in on that portion.  Woop!

'It's like people only do things because they get paid, and that's just really sad.'

Here is a detail of yet another piece for my independent study with John, my professor.  The final whole piece has 3 vertebrae, not just one and a half, but I figured here I could zoom in on the part I like, the spinal cord and nerve roots.  Will post final when complete!

::GASP::



Here is another :not quite: finished piece for my independent study.  Midsagittal section of the male reproductive anatomy.  I did a sketch for my research project, and decided to Photoshop it as one of my independent study final pieces.  A tad more work to do on it, but overall doing this was a very educational experience due to all the textures I had to create in Photoshop.  I love Photoshop, yah!

Nip it in the bud


I want you all to know that that is the first and last time I will ever be using a saying such as the title of this post, 'nip it in the bud.'  I don't know why I did this time, I guess it just felt right...anyways, this is the start to one of my pieces for my independent study I am doing this semester with my excellent professor John Daugherty.  He wanted to push my use of color, especially with bones, since I tend to go a little 'muddy' with my darks...I will be layering muscles and tendons on this bone base of the foot, so we will see how it goes.
