Pixel Art as Metaphor: Fighting Battles
This editorial illustration for About Health reimagines interventional radiology as a side-scrolling action game, with a miniature doctor running through the human body. Tumors and blockages are treated like in-game enemies, each requiring a different “weapon” to defeat. The pixel art style makes a complex medical topic feel accessible, playful, and easy to engage with.

Work in progress for an upcoming neuroanatomy project! 🧠

Just a sketch for now... There are probably still a few little anatomy errors, but, rest assured, it's being corrected.

Hope you like it anyway! ❤️

Major ankle ligaments done.

I created a separate file for the foot and ankle bones themselves so I can reuse it to create future illustrations: nerves, ligaments, tendons, muscles, whatever.

Ankle and foot template, medial view of the right foot.

Although I haven't illustrated anything at this level for a few months, it's like riding a bike when I resume. :)

#medicalillustration #digitalart #affinityphoto #illustration #massagefitmag

Starting another series of joints for our new topic clusters for #massagefitmag

I haven't used #affinityphoto or do any #digitalart since May, and It took me a while to get used to the UI and the hang of it again.

So far so good. :)

One thing I've learned about illustrating #humananatomy, whether by hand or digitally, is how to depict something in a new way yet accurately.

I can't make stuff up yet the illustration should be revelent to the topic I'm working on.

For now, I'm sticking with the basics & be more boldly in the near future. :)

A rendering of the trigeminal nerve and the start of its three main nerve branches: opthalmic (eyes), maxillary (face, teeth), mandibular (jaw).

Hope you enjoy this weird diagram I've made about sight.

I'm looking for #medicalillustration #ScienceIllustration help to put together a figure or two for a review article I'm assembling

I was just laid off & this will be an out of pocket expense, so I hope to keep costs down if possible. I can add explicit acknowledgemt in the manuscript if that would be an incentive

Referrals much appreciated

After 3 weeks of not touching my drawing tablet, it still feels like I never left it.

Currently updating a few of my stories in #massagefitmag w/ skin anatomy & touch receptors.

#digitalart #affintyphoto #corelpainter #art #medicalillustration

So I finally got another practical use of #aiart: generating generic images to support an #illustration .

Human anatomy, however, is still human-made, digitally.

And just like that, 2 hrs crawled by. That's 2 hrs of #lofimusic.

#digitalart #affinityphoto #medicalillustration #muscle

Sliding filaments, part of the work of my upcoming illustration on muscle soreness, inflammation, and basic muscle contraction anatomy & physiology.

Haven't been on #Twitter for more than a month. That means less distractions & getting more things done, like this. 😁

I updated my story on whether cluneal nerves cause #backpain or not and use this as an illustration.

Tip of the weekend: if you want to depict bone texture in #affinityphoto or #photoshop, use the burn tool with the pencil brush tool H, B, or HB selected.

Select & experiment with different brush sizes & see which one works for your piece. If you're using #Wacom pen & tablet, try different pressures.

I lay a foundation of where the shadows are & then go back to add random larger "pores" and lines with the pencil brush tool only (no burn).

A few days ago, I completed the lateral view of the spine from the C1 to L5, just enough to depict various types of postures for my content.

While the work did get tedious after I was done with the T spine, it was worth it. And coffee and #lofi music helped.

I'd like to continue with the sacrum, coccyx, & pelvis to complete the skeletal posture, but I need to step away from it & do something else before coming back to this.

#digitalart #medicalillustration #art #artist

A great thing about this mini project is learning the parts of a vertebra and the differences between each one more in detail.

Plus, I found a few ways to depict bone texture w/o using an actual "texture" brush.

Not too surprisingly, the pencil brush actually works pretty well!

#aiart probably won't catch up to human-made #digitalart any time soon (I could be wrong). I haven't had much luck with anatomically correct #humananatomy yet with #midjourney, but that's ok.

There's something about the process in making these drawing quite cathartic.

#mentalhealth #affinityphoto #art #medicalillustration

I put away my Wacom tablet & stylus last yr & forgot about it until the day after my birthday when something "clicked" in my head.

So I took it out from my plastic bin & drew on it again.

Although I was already doing some digital work in 2022, I took it more seriously in the past 4 wks.

The top one was done before the "click" moment. The second one was done tonight. It'd be interesting to compare these in 6 months.

So I finally completed a liver illustration that I've been exploring since last August.

Next step: anatomy details for the Cori Cycle.

#medicalillustration #digitalart #graphicdesign #art #affinityphoto

This took a day to complete, from a sketch on a drawing pad to this.

There are things that #aiart cannot fully substitute & I had to resort to old-school skills.

The hardest part is the blending & getting the lighting right.

Day 3: Finished!

It didn't turn out the way I expected, but it's better than what I imagined.

#digitalart #corelpainter #medicalillustration #medicalart #lymphnode

Ok, it's starting to look more like a dim sum, like one of those steamed pork (siu mai). Maybe I'm just hungry after two hours of this.

Anyway, I'm getting the workflow of using #CorelPainter & using #Wacom tablet & learned to adjust pen pressure & angle to create the desired shading & blending effects.

BUT I'm not happy w/ the lymph vessels' black outline. Didn't turn out the way I like. Will have to redo them.

Forgot my earbuds and I’m glad that this Barnes & Noble’s location does not blast Mariah Carey’s Christmas songs to the point where I might throw an axe 🪓 at something.
Meanwhile, I think I’m making progress. #medicalart #medicalillustration #digitalart #corelpainter #wacom #winterinSeattle #coffeeanddraw

I have current research in #CochlearImplant, #TBI, #NoiseInduced #HearingLoss in an #ovine model, #Encephalocele repair, and otic organoids, and I have recent publications in #Stapedectomy/ #Stapedotomy, #VestibularSchwannoma/ #AcousticNeuroma, #LabyrinthitisOssifcans, #Tympanoplasty, #COVID, and #ResidentEducation. I’ve been known to do my own #MedicalIllustration and stats for publications, too. 2/3

First time drawing a muscle digitally, using Corel Painter 8 with a Wacom tablet.

It’s not as hard as I thought, and I wonder why I gave up last year. I had a pity poor experience with the drawing tablet, & I stashed it away earlier this year.

But I’m back! I’m going to experiment w/ different ways to depict muscle activity, nociception, & similar stuff.
#aiart isn’t going to replace humans in this niche (yet).

There is a limitation of using #aiart in #medicalillustration. Some words are banned in #midjourney, words that are considered too "vulgar" or "offensive" for AI at this point.

This include words like: intestines, blood, incision, and fetus. This also includes words relating to the genitalia.

So for those working on reproductive or cardiovascular health, this can be a problem.

Still, old-school #digitalart by humans isn't going away (soon). 🙂

@NickNgFreelance @CarpaccioDiScienza hi! I'm a medical illustrator, just searched #MedicalIllustration and this appears to be the only post with that hashtag! Hopefully more of my colleagues will migrate over to this platform. In the meantime I'll just need to start posting more about med ill. 😁

@CarpaccioDiScienza

Hi Susan. I don't meet or see many #artists who are in the field of #medicine. Would love to see more people in the #medicalillustration field.
