Digital Ink
Our award-winning digital ink style has been refined over many years and is based on a background in traditional pen & ink media. The clarity and timeless beauty of ink illustration is perfect for instructional graphics and procedural illustrations. Scientific descriptions often include simple line drawings to help their audience understand key features. Our digital [...]
Transparent Wash
Through careful combination of pencil sketches and digital watercolor/airbrush techniques, our transparent wash style brings a hand-crafted elegance to any project. Ghosting effects are also utilized to depict structures that would not normally be visible without dissection. This style is often used for editorial work to compliment photography or patient education materials where a photorealistic [...]
Digital Paint
This style is ideal for murals, realistic illustrations, and 2D animations. The process is similar to our 2D wash style but the emphasis is less on the drawing and more on realistic painting. This keeps some of the hand-crafted look but provides for a greater level of detail and information. As an alternative to our [...]
Didactic Vector
When a project calls for unlimited resolution, our Didactic Vector style is the only way to go. Vector images are resolution independent and are used in everything from illustrations to animations to interface design. Our vector-based custom applications are available in Flash/Silverlight/WPF for web or kiosk delivery. We also use this style to create complete [...]
3D Color
As our most popular style, our 3D color work strives to capture the qualities of light, intricate details of subjects, and often subtle movements present in the natural world. Everything you see here is a 3D model that has been rendered by our computers, often in a photo-realistic way. We create most of these models [...]
Faux SEM
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals unseen worlds at resolutions from 10X to 500,000X. Our technique for mimicking this form of imagery imparts an immediate understanding of small scale. Whether you need to depict a parasite in action, a cellular landscape, or a molecular MOA, this technique showcases the impossibly small in a big way.
Faux X-ray
Radiography began in 1895 with the discovery of X-rays. Today, digital radiography has almost completely replaced film and computed tomography (CT) allows sectional images to be obtained, resulting in a 3D representation. Our Faux X-ray style builds on the look of these distinctive medical images and creates believable visuals for both 2D and 3D applications. [...]
Ultratone
The elegance of tonal images is evident from that feeling we get from good black & white photography. Removing the color simplifies the image and lends flexibility to the design. Our Ultratone style provides just that…a subtle and beautiful use of tone to convey your message.
Sketchbook
In today’s world of slick computer graphics (we’re not knocking them…we make those too), sometimes a hand-drawn image adds just the right tone to the message. Our sketchbook style is mostly drawing…sometimes a very small amount of color is thrown in but the emphasis is really on the drawing.
