Update: Redone from the ground up. The edges are much softer and it looks much more realistic than it did initially.

This is supposed to be a heart. I created it as a tribute to the heart featured on the album cover of "Black Gives Way To Blue" by Alice In Chains. The second single from said album is called "Check My Brain" and it was one of my main sources of inspiration for this piece.

Okay, sure, it's not exactly scientifically accurate, but it looks pretty damn cool.

Very stunning piece, it is symmetrical with a hint of assymetry. The different use of dithering on the vessles to the heart makes the different textures shine through and increases the effectiveness of the small space used. The white outline helps to make the transition into transparency and blends it in to the background. The colours are a very good choice and are true to life. To improve the piece maybe another colour on the main section to increase the contrast a bit more and maybe a tiny bit more rounding on the edges to make it seem more organic.
Overall it is very effective and the techinques used are very good for such a small piece and still representing realism. Good stuff :D

HOT DAMN

I mean, I already knew it was a heart right away, so it was obvious that was what it was supposed to be (it's very recognisable). But what HTML did you use for that huge lettering...?! I feel like I've tried so many things...! Please do tell me..? :innocent:
