MyElementals, Adorably Illustrated Creatures Who Embody the Elements of the Periodic Table

Fe - Iron Atomic # 26 Iron composes much of the earth's crust and has played such an important part in our lives. From raw building material to helping carry oxygen through out our bodies #fe #iron #element #illustration #watercolor #vector #transitionmetal #metal #blood #anemia #myelementals #design #periodictableofelements #periodictable #characterdesign

Brooklyn photographer and illustrator Sebastian Arguello has created "MyElementals" a wonderfully illustrated series that explores the Periodic Table with adorable little creatures that each embody their own element. The story starts with a hardworking scientist who was working late in the lab when lightning from a heavy thunderstorm knocked out the lights.

How it all began - The time is 3 am. It was my research of liquid densities that kept me late in my laboratory that night. The thunderstorm outside shook the large glass wall from its mullions surrounding me with abrupt moments of sound. The intense flashes of light reflected brilliant colors in the beakers littering the tables behind me against the plain white walls that seams to go extend higher and higher with every flicker of light. "I squinted around to asses the damage, only to hear funny, gargling sounds coming from the tiny slide in my microscope. I cautiously peered inside the eyepiece. Fiddling with the knobs, I tried to focus onto the slide to assure that my control sample was not contaminated. Just then I witnessed the strangest thing moving around in the liquid. "Three little beings with somewhat humanoid faces were playing, spinning, and dancing around each other as if magically connected together.

H2O - Water If it wasn't for this #chemical #compound there wouldn't be life on earth. Water which is composed of one #oxygen atom and two #hydrogen atoms has set the scenes for an explosion of life on this little rock in space we call #earth . #myelementals #chemistry #gif #h2o #water #vector #characterdesign #illustration #pictofolio #chemistryscience

H - Hydrogen This gas is the first and lightest element on the table with an atomic weight of 1.007 u. It's the most abundant element in our universe, constituting approx. 75% of all baryonic mass. #myelementals #periodictable #periodictableofelements #hydrogen #atomicnumber #chemistry #sun #orange #gas

Ar - Argon Atomic # 18 Greek for "inactive" this noble gas really doesn't do much. Modern incandescent bulbs add some nitrogen to argon pump it into a bulb and voila ???? #ar #argon #inactive #gas #noblegas #periodictableofelements #characterdesign #periodictable #myelementals #design #vector #watercolor #chemistry #science #illustration
