Hi, Friends!

I've been working on a collection of caricatures of great historical figures that includes some physicists like Newton, Galileo or Einstein and mathmaticians like Euler and Gauss. For that, I was shamelessness and entered here.
Now, I need some feedback about the drawings and some advice about some options of the business that are still open. So, I prepared a brief presentation of the ideia, with some few direct questions about it.
For those of you who are willing to help me, here it is http://www.fighum.com . It will take you just 2 or 3 minutes.

I would be most appreciated if you give me your advice! :)
Thank you!

That's really awesome. Please do a Faraday and a Maxwell. Oppenheimer would be pretty intense looking also (all in the eyes).

Thank you very much, Francis!

Maxwell is ready and Faraday is almost ready (thanks to their electricity achievments, I can draw over night!)
Oppenheimer I'm sure will soon blast!

I see what you did there; and yes, that's quite humorous. :biggrin:
 
Just thought of another favorite: Edwin Hubble. You know, the pipe and everything. He'd probably be fun to do.
 
Francis, Hubble is in my list too, but in an earlier stage of development.
But unfortunately I drawn him without is pipe!

Hmm...how about Rosalind Franklin then?
 
Rosalind Franklin I must confess I don't know who she was, Francis...
 
Zwicky would be a good one. He had a rather interesting facial expression in one picture. From people who knew him, that picture was pretty typical.

I'm posting from my phone, so I can't link a picture, but you can't miss it.
 
Okay. Just going to throw some folks out there that I've admired...

Carl Sagan

Edwin Land

Marie Curie

Henri Becquerel

Alessandro Volta

Hans Christian Orsted

Charles Babbage

Heinrich Hertz

Well that is the problem. When people think DNA, they usually remember Francis Crick and James Watson. But they actually stole Rosalind Franklin's x-ray diffraction photographs, and that's how they got the idea for the double helix.

Sons a bitches. Damn you Maurice Wilkins! :smile:
 
You got to do Erwin : http://scienceblogs.com/builtonfacts/2008/09/28/sch

I will take note about the names you give me. Some I have already, others I know, others I don' know...
I have James Watson, for instance. I'm just aware of the "official" history, so I can be unfair.
Dr, Erwin Shrodinger I couldn't miss! He is a baby in the same day I am! haha
 
To motivate why I pick Zwicky, he came up with the idea of supernovae, neutron stars, and dark matter. He was incredibly influential, but because nobody liked him, he never became famous. He had a habit of calling his colleagues "spherical bastards" because they were "bastards no matter which way you looked at them."

If you only want to do famous scientists, leave him out, but if you want important scientists, put him in.

Nikola Tesla fulfills a similar role in electrical engineering. He isn't as well known as Edison, but he was far more influential.

I agree: Tesla and Zwicky all the way.
 
I'd love to see your interpretation of Paul Dirac...
 
I'm taking note of your posts here.
Infact, I try that my criteria is real influence and not fame for itself.
