Awesome Image
Last night I stumbled into this image while I was looking for something else. It was listed with other pieces created in Maya. I love it. I wish I had an artist to link to in credit of it. If anyone knows who created this, let me know and I will happily edit this post to include that information.
I remember back in gross anatomy, my first dissections of heads, and how strange a perspective it was on the tongue in particular when you see it in it’s full form. This image doesn’t fully display the tongue to the level of bulk I once found shocking (we seriously have a lot of tongue in us!), but it is a very nicely created image. I think I’m most impressed by the faint suggestion of the man’s closed eye, that might also be the semilunar hiatus. That’s just a nice touch, that.
Here is an old image out of Grey’s Anatomy if you’re not familiar with what I mean (this is also the image that Wikipedia gives you if you follow that semilunar hiatus link.)
