Anatomy Typface - Sketches

I couple of examples from the sketched version of my typeface. Or is it hand lettering? I think it's a typeface since we're vectoring it and putting it in that program. I have no clue anymore, my head is everywhere.

Anyway. I used another typeface as a base for my current one so I could match up the different organs to the letters to see what worked with what. It's an odd way of doing it, but it gets it done. Otherwise I'd be sitting there assigning body-parts particular letters that may not fully work.

After going over my options, I've concluded that I probably won't have enough individual body-parts or organs to do the entire alphabet (that or they just don't match the letter form in any way, shape or form), so I'll be substituting any of those odd letter forms that don't match up with bones and ligaments. I almost decided to go with things like fingers and arms and whatnot, but I want what is literally under the skin or counts as a whole as an organ (IE the penis, since it is a sexual organ, but it sits outside the body unlike the vagina).

I also got an idea of what to do with it as you can see. I was inspired by this lettering here:

Found on tumblr here.

I really liked that hand-drawn aspect to it and heaviness on the one side and it seems to be working with the lettering overall that I've done. It also gives it this old-school medical feel to it when there were no pictures, so doctors hand drew or had someone hand draw out diagrams of body parts and whatnot.

Going off that I decided that my idea for motion graphic with my typeface in it was going to be something LA Noire inspired. So think like the 1920's gangster or crime films, with their grainy sepia-toned surfaces and the really hyped up sequences. Much like the whole "Black Dalia" thing. Crooked cops, slashed ladies, that sort of feel.

I haven't completely pegged down the overall concept, but my guess is a story explaining the death of something. Whether it's serious (like talking about heart disease) or not serious (a really dramatic motion graphic about ED), it's gonna have this really overdramatized presentation. I should look for some grainy film reel movies awhile so I can use them throughout the motion graphic.
