And this illustration, of course, features the @NASAVoyager Golden Record. I have a beautiful box set from @OzmaRecords containing all the sights and sounds of Earth from the original.
I also snuck in the design as a sigil in an unrelated comic I was working on at the time.
@JohnELTenney Thanks John, that's very useful to know! I want to be as clear as possible.
By "behind the shield" do you mean the flash going around the edge of the shield (circled), or the shadow cast behind it (boxed)?
@fayewatson94 @CVRinfo Hi Faye! I'll wave my hand in the air, this sounds great. I'm a science communicator and comic artist. You can DM or email me (address in profile banner) and I'd be happy to share more of my work.
It also started my ongoing collaboration with colourist @owenwattsdraws, whose chromatic wisdom is currently bestowed upon the pages of @RikWorth's & my Hocus Pocus comic series. Lo:
Galileo had also studied art including "chiaroscuro" techniques of light-dark contrast, seen in this sketch of the Moon's surface he made around 1609.
His realistic depiction was so influential it quickly started showing up in contemporary art, like this 1610 fresco by Cigoli.
I drew Galileo a few years ago for the 2017 March of Science, so it was nice getting to update my characterisation of him again in this course - a bit less bedraggled and crushed by the establishment this time. (That was so, like, 2017, man).
Anyway, lots more could be said about Hooke (he discovered plant cells and coined the term "cell" itself!) but he's so cool I snuck a Micrographia illustration of a louse into my comic series Hocus Pocus: https://t.co/SvhVpv3Xap #SciArtTweetStorm
