X-Ray Rendered Anatomy

This is portraiture, technical work, and slightly macabre all in one. It is a depiction of my roommate's legs and arm (and stomach) as though in an x-ray view. Thus the arm is all bone and the legs are primarily bones but with some muscles thrown in there for good measure. It was very hard to work from a textbook and the bumps and contours of her limbs to deduce the precise placement of each anatomical piece, but it turned out well ne'ertheless.
