Turbulent enough to get the Vestibular apparatus moving!
The task in hand is to illustrate Motion sickness in an Australia navy officer. Having worked through several projects with the Australian Geographic magazine for the past 20 years, I knew this task was going to be another in-depth look at another exciting topic.

The extra challenge was to show communication with the Gastrointestinal tract and bleeding from aneurysms in two different locations (B and C).
