Alright, so the last month I've been working on this, and it's done at long last! It's a triptych showing A History of Science. The panels show a Roman building an aqueduct (science as engineering), Copernicus discovering the heliocentric model of the solar system (science as astronomy), and a modern-day scientist in a lab (science for science's sake).
His hair is comprised of tiny individual locks with drop shadows. Pretty snazzy, right? You'll also notice that each piece has a circular object in the upper lefthand corner to offset the object held by the scientist.
This background came out of no where, but it is gorgeous and I love it. Also, I made the heliocentric model of the solar system myself, though I feel I should mention that I did take the liberty of adding Neptune, even though it had not been discovered by the time Copernicus died. Also, there's a Renaissance-era city in the bottom righthand corner.
And, last but certainly not least, my modern-day scientist, resplendent in lab coat and sneakers. The equations on the chalk board describe angular momentum, the entropy of certain gases in a closed system, orbital mechanics, and AM radio.
And, just for kicks, here's my modern-day scientist with dignified, yet premature gray streaks at the temples, and sans the date (ie.: Carlos from Welcome to Night Vale).
Here's a link to my post on tumblr,
and another for Carlos' picture only.
