Could it be true? Antony Atala has opened up the eyes of the medical field to the growth and regeneration of tissue and organs. He was one of the minds that discovered how stem cells can be derived from a woman's umbilical cord. His speech being given at the TED 2011 conference is titled "Threads of Discovery", and will contain videos of his bio-engineers producing an artificially made organ. Atala shows that by stacking wafers of organ tissues through a printer-like mechanism we can successfully reproduce a kidney, nerve, heart and a few others. Although this process has taken over twenty years to develop, new advancements are being made frequently.
Rowan - why would yo choose this TED talk??/ is it because you want to change your face -as per the animation. By the way where is the animation?
ReplyDeleteA very satirical image of yourself.
You have a great sense of shape and value.
The level of detail is excellent especially with regards to your use of value and analogous color makes for a subtle and expressive image.
An excellent yawn with the teeth appearing works well with the simple attitude you are trying to project.
The eye animation and its transitions is simple, detailed and clear!! You have an excellent change of speed from the closing of the eyes and the quick blinking.
You made the hand and the arm work in unison, which is dependent on the rotational point. Now I would have like to see the slight movement of the fingers to add to the detail and release a bit of the stiffness.
Please update your blog
