#nk cell

I intended to have a version of these done for National Dance Day, which has an exercise/health component to it, but that just didn't work out. The file sat in my shelved projects folder until I finally felt motivated to finish it.

FINALLY SOME NKT FOR MEEEEE

I commissioned it on bluesky from @zeiame

SR Inktober Day25: Crossover

Inside every human body, 37.2 trillion cells are working hard to maintain a healthy effective system. Each cell tirelessly performs their job without rest. Red blood cells transport oxygen and nutrients. White blood cells defend the body from pesky germs and viruses. Platelets repair damaged tissue. All members of the human body do their part.

My Sweets at Work return for the craziest crossover I could think of! Back in 2021, I doodled up the Sugar Rush racers cosplaying as some of the familiar characters from Cells at Work, a manga and anime series that focuses on the cells of a human body, personified as microscopic people themselves. Each story focuses on a specific aspect and how the cells deal with it, such as blood circulation, bacteria invasion, pollen allergy, influenza, food poisoning, and cancer. There’s even a story about Covid. Physicians and doctors around the world have praised Cells at Work for being extremely accurate in its presentation of the scientific and biological information on top of being a fun-filled action-packed series. The series primarily follows a rookie red blood cell as she navigates the complex body systems to make her deliveries, often crossing paths with a white blood cell whose job is to eliminate foreign invaders that threaten the body’s health.

To learn which racer is playing which type of cell, you can check out my first sketch of them: https://www.deviantart.com/thebluejetpack/art/Sweets-at-Work-892146094

Or...I could direct you instead to the English-dubbed intro song of the anime instead. It’s a bop! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox0lBHmIrWM
