Miscellaneous

These pieces are miscellaneous. They vary from traditional paintings and drawings to digital paintings and 3D models.

This specific piece is a gouche sketch of my hands done from life. The main focus is accurately depicting the skin undertones.

BioSci Card: Chinchilla

The purpose of this piece was to create a playing card that shows a unique ability that an organism is capable of. Think of Pokémon cards combined with National Geographics. So I chose to do Chinchilla and their ability to release chunks of fur to quickly escape predators.

A Look inside the Left Ventricle of the Human Heart

The goal of this illustration was to create an unique educational illustration that informs the viewer of important external and internal anatomical features of the human heart.

3D Platformer Game Test

Using 3D model assets that are self-created, I created a 3D platformer game in Unity as a personal project. The aim was to challenge myself in learning a new program entirely on my own. Then learning how to export it into WebGl so it can be shared on a webpage.

Neuroanatomy Self Portrait

This digital illustration of myself with a view into the skull to reveal brain anatomy. It is less of a diadatic teaching piece, but an editorial piece.

Chasing the Key to Longevity

This editorial piece highlights the research published about how queen bees live longer than worker bees based on the royal honey they are fed as larvae.

Arterial Blood Supply to the Brain

The challenge of this piece was to create a unique educational piece teaching about something we personally find challenging to learn about neuroanatomy.

Studying the Masters: Learning from Max Brödel's Heart Sketch

Through the act of replication, one can observe more finely a master's work. By studying Max Brödel's "Winternitz-Pulmonary Anuersym" sketch I was able to intensely observe his use of line and tone to replicate the different textures found on a human heart.

Anteriolateral View of the Human Skull

Carbon dust illustration of the human skull taken from an anteriolaterial view. Primary audience would be students who wish to learn about the external anatomical features of the human skull.

Covid Protease Inhibitor

Two page spread intended for a magazine such as Scientific American that describes a biomolecular process.

Cranial Cavities

Digital illustration showing the cranial cavities. Based off of direct observation of a real perserved human head cut in half at the Grant's Library at University of Toronto.
