Infiltrating the virus

Another one from my series role reversals and this time, it is not the animals that are revenging us human beings, but the other way around! We are infiltrating the virus and making it very unhappy!

This one goes well with my background as a scientist. Science is evolving, we are developing drugs and vaccines for the virus that has caused this pandemic that is still ongoing. It was with these thoughts and the urge desire to finish off with this virus that I created the illustration bellow. It was done in Affinity Designer this time.

I wanted to have a very unhappy virus with scientists working on it, perforating it, changing its proteins that it uses to enter in our cells. In order to make the perfect environment for these scientists that are causing disturbance to the virus, I added a red background, which at the top right corner, it is not as dark. This would represent a blood vessel and that’s why part of it would be brighter; the entrance. I have also added red blood cells floating about the blood vessel.

Are you a bioscientist and like it? Own it! 🙂
