​Medical Art Highlights

These pieces are a collection of medical art covering various topics. View each project's slideshow to see progress photos.

Kidney Animation

Modeled and animated a polycystic kidney I made in Zbrush. This video was a brief informational for the general public about Polycystic Kidney Disease. The models are highlighted in my digital work as well.

Surgical Instrument

Diagrammed a historical surgical tool. Used Illustrator to create images of the tonsil guillotine to highlight how it worked and what it looked like. This project is displayed as a PDF for learning purposes.

CT Scan

Created an A2 poster to be used in classrooms that details the main structures of the upper limb cardiovascular system. The model was made using photoshop and modified CT Data.

Digital Scan of Head

Created a 3D model of my wax head (featured below) using Photogrammetry (top model) and Artec scanning (bottom model) techniques.

 

The models are best viewed in full screen.

Plant Hiking Guide

Illustrated and designed a guide for hikers to use that describe the characteristics of poisonous plants and how they harm the body. The booklet is the size of a post card and can be printed or used digitially. Artwork was created using Photoshop and icons were made using Illustrator. The booklet was designed using InDesign. This was one of two self-directed projects

Gut Microbiota Poster

Illustrated a poster detailing the organisms in the gut. The intestines were digitally painted using Photoshop and the bacteria was created using Illustrator and Photoshop. The layout was created using InDesign. The poster is A2 and is designed to be used in classrooms. It is intended for students with a minor science background.

Endometriosis: Transvaginal Ultrasound

Digitally painted ultrasound scans and an internal anatomy of a patient that suffers from endometriosis. This is used in my master's dissertation to assist medical students in visualizing this part of the process of diagnosing endometriosis in adolescents. This was created using Photoshop.

The Femur Drawing

Drew a femur using measuring techniques to recreate our given bone. The focus was on accurate size reconstruction and realistic detail work. 

The Scapula

Digitally painted a scapula using photoshop and a singular reference. The goal was to recreate our given bone and ensure the scapula was legible and accurately colored.

Hand Dissection Line Drawing

Illustrated the hand anatomy using photoshop. Used line-work to show the anatomical layers and different structures utilized when we use our cell phones.

Head écorché

Sculpted anatomical features on a skull using wax and oil paint. The head shows how the anatomy shifts with age. The viewer's left shows a younger individual while the viewer's right shows an older individual.

Uterus: 3D Model

Part of my dissertation. This is a model of a uterus depicting the lesions common to adolescents that suffer from endometriosis. It is one element that will be used in a resource for teaching medical students about this disease in children. This was made using Zbrush, Keyshot, and AfterEffects.

The Sketchfab model is best viewed in full screen.

Uterus: Animation

Part of my dissertation. This is an animated video featuring a 3D model and small character animation. This was made using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop Frame Animation, After Effects, Zbrush, and Keyshot. The main purpose is to educate medical students through a walk through of adolescent endometriosis lesions.

Uterus: 3D Print
