So I noticed that there were a bunch of Carl Sagan drawings popping up on FA. Well I've always thought he was a most righteous dude, but with all this recent artwork I've been seeing of him, I figured it was time I took a whack at drawing him. A bit caricatured too.
Also, hurrah for images from the Hubble being public domain.

Ahh, I remember the first time I saw Cosmos, it was pretty damn epic. Changed the way I thought about science, too.
Awesome.

I'm in love with his Cosmos series right now.

I actually think that video is why hes been gettin' drawn a lot lately, but who knows?
Super Ultra mega awesomeness! Sagan is one of my idols for the 20th century. Truly an amazing human being.
Excellent caricature ;) Brilliant colours and expression. And I love's the background too. All round awesome sausages!

Growing up, I didn't have many real-life heroes. That man was one of the few. I always loved how excited he got over the possibilities in our universe, and I like to think that's rubbed off on myself, and, more importantly, those around me.

I feel pretty much the same way I guess. I'm not the sort to hold any great amount of reverence for anybody, but there are a few out there, and Dr. Sagan is certainly one of those people. Bringing science and our knowledge of the universe to the average person in terms they can understand and in a way they can appreciate; truly a worthy cause to have lived for.
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD! 8D
This makes the day so much better. This is SO AMAZING and not to mention it feeds my ever growing need to see people draw him. I absolutely adore your ultra caricature take on Carl. You totally nailed his EVERYTHING.
Wow and I didn't even pay you for this. 0_0 You are so cool.

Well like I said, I've been wanting to draw a caricature-y portrait of him for some time, and all these recent drawings I've seen of him pushed me to actually do it. Went through a buncha sketches to get the right look of him, lotsa refs, tried some fast-painting techniques- lots of experimentation in this piece for me. Very happy with the result though, and I really wonder if I should start drawing a lot more humans.
All in all, glad ya liked it, and hurrah for Carl.

Sagan makes one feel significant and very insignificant at the same time, but without making them feel not ok about it.
Dude, what the heck is up with Buzz Aldrin being on Dancing with the Stars? Eh? I was always happy to see Dr. Sagan along with Buzz trying to get people to be excited about space exploration again, but what the hell? Ballroom dancing? C'mon man, you're a respected space pioneer, don't regrade yourself and the Science like that!
Hell yes, Carl Sagan. I can't think of anything better to say, since a) I just woke up and b) everyone else seems to have said it already. So I'm just going to favorite it and say <3
Cosmos is still one of my favorite books of all time, and The Demon Haunted World was another good read. He was a truly amazing fellow.
i remember one sciffy con i was at where we had bullions and bulions as an alternative banquet. in honor of sagan and cosmos of course.
I know this is Carl Sagan but to me it honestly looks like the main character from Heavy Traffic :V

I swear, the fellow was both amusing and strangely "right".

Carl Sagan's voice is crazy cool. You could placate a room full of terrorists with that voice.
I love this picture. But the red lines on the face looks like blood.
I love artists who can actually draw humans, and moreso I love artists who can draw good caricatures.
Man now I want to make apple pie. Too bad I have to frikkin' invent the universe first.

My hero!! Love the painterly look by the way. I wonder what sparked such a big Sagan trend.
Some of my friends say i look like this guy, yet think way farther then him. XDD
HA! Holy hell, if he saw this he would probably have a laughing fit, oh man, love Sagan, and this.
That voice does not belong with that face. I was extremely distressed watching him the first few times.
