medical illustration, biomedical artist, visual science, ophthamology, sustainability, greening

Production Technology

Created using Cinema 4D, a 3D modeling program, 3D Models, and hand-painting in Photoshop, using a stylus and tablet on a Mac.

Design Challenge

Creating a unique and pleasing botanical composition, plant by plant, that looked living and vital, to frame and enhance yet not overwhelm the central eye.

Project Duration

The project was in development for two weeks at the artist's studio in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, USA.

Operation Flow

The illustration is meant to be uplifting and hopeful by depicting a fantastical imagining of the greening of ophthalmology.

Research

The artist researched various plant choices, striving to assemble a variety of visually interesting textures. Many of the flowers and greenery are from 3D models that the artist rendered individually and then hand composed in Photoshop. The rest of the digital painting was finished by hand-painting in Photoshop to cast shadows from one element to the next, push and pull light, and add surface detailing.

Inspiration

The artist sought to create a fantasy illustration depicting a lush, fresh and burgeoning botanical environment flourishing around an heroic eye. The eye itself is fantastical, with a conjunctiva (the covering of the globe) made of Michelangelo's white dolomite marble. In contrast to the cracked marble, the iris is glowing as if illuminated from energy within.
