User talk:VHenryArt

I am an artist. I enjoy all kinds of subjects but mostly I love to do scientific and medical illustrations. I work in 2D programs like Photoshop and Illustrator and 3D programs like 3DS Max, Maya, and Blender.

I want to contribute to the effort by donating my time and skills as an artist!

Some of my stuff can be seen here: vhenryart.com

I've added my first illustration (see below) and created the "Fistulae involving female genital tract" category in the Diseases and disorders of the female reproductive system subcategory on the Wikimedia Commons.

Just worked on the article on postpartum hemorrhage. Wondering if you would be interested in creating an image or two for that article? We have the bimanuel technque here http://www.aafp.org/afp/2007/0315/p875.html Or fundal message here http://rnspeak.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/fundal-massage.png Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:55, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

-- Yes I am interested. I'll come up with a list of illustration ideas. We can pick (or remove) from the list what illustrations would be the most useful (and in order of importance). Those links are helpful for getting the list started. Feel free to begin the list with specific ideas if you have them. I gather, from the links, that showing the massage techniques, or at least the most common (if there is one), would be at least one illustration. I also think a simple illustration of the NASG device would be helpful. VHenryArt (talk) 14:43, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Yes we can probably get a picture of a NASG. Let me ask around. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:01, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I have put together a sketch for the fundal massage technique. You can view it here: http://vhenryart.com/fundalMassageSketches.jpg - I am not sure if the labels for the underlying anatomy are necessary. I suppose they are helpful, though. What are your thoughts? I think an image to illustrate the four Ts (can show all causes in one image) would be a good addition. Another useful illustration would be one to show the intrauterine balloon in place. The benefit of doing these illustrations is that they can be included in other articles where their subject matter is mentioned, too. What do you think? Do you think these would be good illustrations to include or would they make the article too busy? VHenryArt (talk) 16:40, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

An excellent image. Would love to add it to the article in question. Yes an image of the fours Ts and the ballon are also good ideas. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:53, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Great! I'll clean it up and get it on Wikimedia and either let you know when it's ready or paste it into the article myself. I've started sketching the other two images as well. I shall update you when I have finished sketches for you to look at. VHenryArt (talk) 13:46, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for this image

	Thank you for the work you're putting in to these images. Thank you, too, for making the obstetrics diagram show a woman who represents the world, instead of just the Caucasian parts of it. I really appreciate your attention to the details. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:27, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

You are most welcome! Thanks for the star! It's great to be appreciated and makes participating that much the more enjoyable. VHenryArt (talk) 22:49, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Do you take requests?

Do you take requests? Do you have favorite subjects? Realistically speaking, how many images like that one could you produce in a year? (It looks like a lot of work.) I don't have anything in mind at the moment, but I don't want you to get bored, either.  ;-) WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:16, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

I do take requests. It's always good to have another project waiting for when the current one finishes. As for favorite subjects, I like scientific and medical but I enjoy illustrating just about anything. Within the medical field, I am fascinated by everything (from gross anatomy to the cellular level); to list a favorite would be impossible! I don't have a number of how many images per year since it all depends on what I am doing outside of the Wikipedia project. I chip away at my list of illustrations for Wikipedia whenever I find the time. VHenryArt (talk) 13:58, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

You might want to look over Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of medical subjects, keeping in mind that the request for "photographs" often just means "any kind of image". As usual on Wikipedia, most of the tags are unexplained and some of the tags may be outdated, so if you disagree (for example, because the page already has a couple of images), you can always pull the tag off the talk page. I'll let you know if I think of anything specific. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:45, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Our article on Cushing syndrome needs an image.

This is a great one by Netter [1]

Thoughts? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:38, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I think an image there will be helpful. I also agree, the Netter one is great. All his pieces are great! I will put this one on my list. I am not far off from finishing the PPH images, just haven't had too much time lately. But, I'll be wrapping them up soon and then moving on to sketching out an idea for the Cushing syndrome article. Thank you for the suggestion. VHenryArt (talk) 13:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
