The constant struggle for life inside each and every one of us is stranger than fiction. Stuff you can\u2019t make up if you tried. Foreign invaders, advanced defense tactics, armies of clones\u2026It\u2019s all right inside of us, yet\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0get the same attention as other wars that are in some ways, less violent and deadly.\u00a0Biowars<\/a> tells the original story of good versus evil.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When designing a comic book featuring organic forces, the inspiration is endless…even if it’s on a microscopic level. We found some like-minded artists on DeviantArt who felt the same way. Check out these artistic interpretations of viruses, cells and other biological\u00a0organisms:<\/p>\n

Biology is Beautiful\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one isn\u2019t even technically artwork \u2013 it\u2019s actual slides from someone\u2019s biology class!<\/p>\n

\"Biology<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Biology Cell Cake\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

We hope the creative genius that made cellular organelles look appetizing got some kind of prize. The endoplasmic reticulum looks mmm delish!<\/p>\n

\"Biology<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TeeToo the Bacteriophage<\/strong><\/p>\n

This amigurumi bacterium looks deceptively cuddly. Yet he\u2019s more impressive in terms of scientific accuracy. The artist paid attention to details such as an \u201cicosahedral head\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Yarn<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Viron the Virus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Viruses are masters of infiltration, like mini-Trojan horses. Our Biowars villain is kind of beautiful, until you get to know him.<\/p>\n

\"Viron<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paramecium and Amoeba Magnets\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not as threatening as the others on this list, these guys are just single-cell organisms minding their own business.<\/p>\n

\"Paramecium<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oragami Bacteriophage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet another beautiful interpretation of otherwise nasty creatures.<\/p>\n

\"Origami<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

T-4 Enterobacteria Phage<\/strong><\/p>\n

A prototype sketch of the much-studied bacteriophage T4 virus. Has a Da Vinci-like quality, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\"T1_Mechanovirus_by_ConspicuousCurios\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mutation with Carcinogen\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

This acrylic on paper piece has a dreamy feel to it.<\/p>\n

\"Mutation<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Surreal Biology\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

An intricate, pop-inspired take on what our bodies are made up of.<\/p>\n

\"Surreal<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Breaking into the digital comic book world is no walk in the park. You gotta offer something different. Something game-changing. And it\u2019s got to have the perfect balance of killer writing and jaw-dropping artwork. This is the recipe for comic book success, and it\u2019s one that Biowars follows like a religion.<\/p>\n
