I tore my hand up under the wheel of my go kart when I was 11. This is bringing up some strong feelings lol

Ooh that sounds rough

To the bone, 4 surgeries and 3 skin grafts. Looked very similar to your work except it was my fingers and palm, no forearm. Cool piece!

This makes me really feel my own RSI, nice work

Thank you!

This looks great. If you're interested in drawing more anatomic pictures, Frank Netter's atlas of human anatomy has really great drawings used in anatomy classes all over the country that may serve as good reference material.

You did such an excellent job with your composition. Wood choices are very complimentary. How did you achieve such a vivid red layer? Fantastic work! This might be interesting to iterate on with red/blue acrylic vein layers...

Struggled for over a year with my left arm, wrist and thumb tendonitis. Finally got most of it to clear up. Starting to maybe develop it in my right elbow now a few years later. So frustrating.
Anyways, your art speaks to me like few other pieces have. Excellent work.

Omg, this is amazing. I need this for like every part of my body.

I have Gray's, Grant's, and Netter's atlases of anatomy.
Netter's is by far the best and most useful.

I had to click on this twice. That's pretty amazing.

Maybe it is tos, not rsi

Thank you, I'm happy my work speaks to you even if it's through shared pain
mtomsky OP t1_ix79lg7 wrote
Ah nice, I have Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery by Bourgery which is incredible and what I used for reference in this piece. Also have Grays knocking about somewhere but I rarely use it.
mtomsky OP t1_ix79r43 wrote
It's all woodstain and red stain takes very well. Acrylic could be interesting but Im not a fan of working with it, it's brittle and unforgiving of any mistakes.
mtomsky OP t1_ix79td6 wrote
Ah that feeling of getting old
mtomsky OP t1_ix7a1r1 wrote
Thanks my background is illustration but I pretty much solely work in wood now because of my rsi. Check out my profile, there's loads more there.
mtomsky OP t1_ix7a95y wrote
Thanks carpal tunnel, I had it for a bit as well and it sucks in its own special way.

Ohhh I had the thumb tendonitis (de quervains?). It was so painful and disruptive. Thankfully the steroid injections were able to get rid of it but it took almost 6 months to resolve fully. Definitely feeling heard by OP's art.

Have you done anything else in the style? I love medical illustration style, like Gray's Atlas of Anatomy. Both of my parents were paramedical, and that was my childhood reading.

Doesn't it also produce some toxic gases when Lazer cut?
IncursivePsychonaut t1_ix7wb1a wrote
Depends on the acrylic, but there are some that are safe to work with.

I've had issues with my elbows a lot.
My right thumb has something going on and it's no bueno.

Very detailed and awesome performed work. I would like such for myself. OP thank you so much
mtomsky OP t1_ix7yazq wrote
I did some lungs and a heart which were one offs and I have another hand design which is anatomical but with a more mystical slant.
mtomsky OP t1_ix7yfqq wrote
Thank you, what an honour!
OIK2 t1_ix80qj2 wrote
After asking, I did the smart thing and looked at your past submissions. I like your anatomical work the best, but the deep layered style you use works great for telling a visual story.

It's insane how badly we can mess ourselves up just by doing activities that we enjoy. The old adage is true, life's not always fair. Hopefully, we can both be pain free one day

I feel this one completely. I struggle with it on both arms…it makes life unnecessarily hard often.
mtomsky OP t1_ix8hk6x wrote
It's tough, gotta remember those stretches
PotatoCooks t1_ix8ju6v wrote
Long as you get the appropriate acrylic it's totally fine to cut
HighLifeARTandDESIGN t1_ix8kz4h wrote
All things cut with the laser produce toxic gases, it’s why you need good vent fans.

I can feel the pain in my wrist just staring at this piece x.x
I love it!
External_Star3376 t1_ix9f92c wrote
It looks quite good actually. It's only missing the Median Nerve, that will help you not feeling the injury anymore.

Hairstylist of 20 years, so this resonates with me and my wrists 😂❤️
Beautiful work!!!

This is an old design I recently remade, inspired by own RSI in my wrist and hand. Originally drawn in pencil, designed in Illustrator and cut on a Trotec laser.
