The hand-drawn ones were mostly made up by myself, however I did heavily base some characters on reference images:
- The "Social Christian" on J.J. McCullough's cartoon of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper (e.g. here https://jjmccullough.tumblr.com/post/20515644117/my-most-recent-cartoon-features-several-portraits/amp )
- The "Social Liberal" on J.J. McCullough's cartoon of British Prime Minister David Cameron ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/jjmccullough/4788931845 )
- The "Economic Liberal" on Reddit-user u/eggsandhamlet's drawings of the political compass quadrants (https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalCompassMemes/comments/jv6zgp/heres_some_art_of_the_extremes_enjoy/ )
And lastly one that I can't find anymore. I based the SED-ball with the hat and the binoculars on a countryball of N&zi Germany. If you know the original artist, please tell me! I'd like to also credit them!
