Washington Post Glass Heart
Maciej Frolow
3D generalist creating illustrations and animations for advertising, medical and science.
Heart made of glass created for the Washington Post for the Health & Science section.
The brief was to show a realistic heart without going into some gore thematic. I proposed a heart made of glass and filled with red liquid so the shape will be obvious but the artistic side will dominate the images aspect. By adding some caustics effects and strong glass refraction & dispersion the whole illustration looks photrealistic almost like a car advertising ;)
Art director: Alla Dreyvitser
Tools used: Modo, Zbrush, Photoshop. Rendered with Octane.
