This took more hours than I can count... certainly qualifies for the 'one million things' assignment, I'd say!

I've been getting requests to list all the characters, so here they are! (I'll try to keep it sort of organized... and in the process probably make it more confusing...)
Back row, left to right: Dwight (The Office), Caprica 6 (Battlestar Galactica), Dr. House (House), JD (Scrubs), Tobias (Arrested Development), Liz Lemon (30 Rock), River (Firefly), Jack and Vincent (LOST), The 11th Doctor (Doctor Who), Walter (Breaking Bad), Rick Grimes (Walking Dead)
Middle row: Buffy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Bill (True Blood), Jeff (Community), Quinn or really any other cheerleader from (Glee) and honestly could be Claire from (Heroes) if you'd prefer, Barney (How I Met Your Mother), Don Draper (Mad Men), Dexter (Dexter), Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock)
Bottom row: Sheldon (Big Bang Theory), Spock (Star Trek:TOS), Chuck (Chuck), Sydney Bristow (Alias)
Window: TARDIS (Doctor Who), USS Enterprise (Star Trek), Galactica (Battlestar Galactica), Serenity (Firefly)
Also, the dog is sorta supposed to look like the dog from Frasier, and the cat is sorta like the one from Sabrina (I've never watched either show, so I wasn't super particular about getting them right. Just wanted a few animals in it!)

Enjoy!

-Anna

    Nice selection, especially "Doctor Who" and "Sherlock". I think it's kind of a shame that you didn't include any "Farscape" stuff, but it's no big deal. :)

      ... No. Blue dude is Tobias from Arrested Development. Caprica Six is the seductive blonde in the red dress.

    Wow, beautifully done! Did you draw the background first, or did you do the characters first? You have a very cool fish-eye lense thing going. :)

      Thank you! I drew the background first, and then I placed the characters in using tracing paper. Each character is drawn separately, and I put them together on the background in Photoshop.

    So cool! Can I pretend that your Glee cheerleader is Claire from "Heroes"?

  28. Sabine42January 26, 2012 at 4:51 PM

    Okay, a) this is awesome. I can't wait for a print to be available!

    and... b) it's sad that not only could I identify all of them, I have seen nearly every show (most of them all the way through) but maybe 3 of them? I think I have a problem with addictive TV shows...

    This is PERFECTION! I posted on Tumblr as well (giving you full cred and a link back of course!) and I tried naming them all (missing three). But I totally didn't look out the window! Amazing!

    This is amazing! I used it as my wallpaper now :)
    Have you considered adding other TV series characters, e.g. Castle, Supernatural, Warehouse 13, Bones, Fringe, The Mentalist, Leverage, etc.

      "Aggie's Nine Heroes" is a Young Adult novel by Diana Laurence. A few months ago Diana commissioned me to draw the characters from her story.

    Hey Anna! I love this artwork! I just wanted to let you know that I made myself a gigantic cross stitch pattern from it. I am not going to sell the pattern or the finished product, I just wanted to let you know. And whenever I post progress photos I am going to credit you.

    17 male characters and 6 female? I'm nitpicking but representation matters
