This was an editorial piece showing an anatomically accurate 3/4 view of the brain as a self-portrait.
To ensure anatomical accuracy, I used a 3D maquette obtained from Colin27 which I visualized through 3DSlicer. Using this as reference, I created the line work for the brain in situ within my head.
The brain was rendered out using a variety of layers for shading. Two light sources were used to illuminate the brain using warm tones from the caudal end and cool tones at the ventral side.
The face was rendered out in greyscale to ensure the attention was kept on the brain. This went through a few layers for shading as well.
