Humanoid Planets

Mary at Thoughts Up North drew anthropomorphized versions of nine planets -or eight planets and one planetoid, if you prefer- of our solar system.

I’ve always loved space and the planets. I’ve seen a few “human planets” sets done by other artists (I saw one in particular that inspired me to start this one but I lost the link) and most of them are pretty literal in the human department. I wanted to try making something more androgynous and godlike.

The colors are all based off the planets’ true colors, and the designs are a mix of the names’ mythos and Holst’s “The Planets” suite. They get progressively less human the further they are from the Sun, which I thought was fun. :) Enjoy!! Pluto included.

Shown here are Mercury, Venus, and Earth. See the rest at Thoughts Up North. -via Boing Boing

I thought they'd look like this

134.4 Excedrin at 128 lbs? I think I'd have died of acute liver failure from the acetaminophen after about 40. Not to mention, 2 Excedrin is enough caffeine to make me sick. Ah, oh well. It's a neat generator.

I'm a little surprised that I'm not dead by caffeine yet.

This is interesting, but time is obviously a factor too. I know (well, strongly believe) I couldn't drink 316 cokes (160 lbs) fast enough. I don't even think I could do 150 Vaults. But 55 max strength No-Doz...sure, if I really wanted. So I'm wondering if they look at this in an instantaneous way. Like if you put the pure caffeine equivalent of those things in a syringe and shot up. Who knows, but like I said, interesting.

Do believe with all that volume, death by water intoxication
would take place well before the caffeine would kill ya.

I actually did the math one day and as mother hub points out above it's the water which is the most toxic ingredient in almost any caffeine laced drink. The logical result is that one should make sure that the caffeine content is as high as possible to minimize your exposure to all that highly toxic water.
