HA HA! An effect of boredom xDDD
I had an idea of doing such group chibi picture of most important revolutionaries of the Great French Revolution.

In the middle of creating process I realised it would content more figures that I've expected (how is it possible?! I rejected so many...) and I started lacking the place on the paper sheet xD

but then it's finished! :D
So! Let's have a look into it! 22 most important revoluyionaries:
[I'll start from left top to right top giving some tips to simplify recognition. then I'll go row below etc. etc.]

1. Mirabeau (with bandaged eyes - he had syphilis, his eyes festered or sth like that, nothin' pleasant...)

2. Lafayette (man with sword. He used it during first anniversary o breakout, he took an oath about being faithful and king was forced to do the same - am I right?)

3. Sieyes (holding a scroll... of course with treatise "what is the third estate?")

4. Hebert (pointing at the sky and you... enraged as always xD radical one; he issued offensive journal)

5. David (with brush and palette: very gifted propaganda painter :P)

6. Fouquet-Tinville (with expression of the fury and a hat with feathers; judge of the revolutionary tribunal)

7. Carnot (man with curly hair; influent member od CoPS; a reformer of the army)

8. Sanson (next to guillotin; revolutionary executor)

9. Danton (with surprisal on his face (or shock) and extended hand; "The Man of August 10th", leader of Cordeliers)

10. Bailly (looking round, let's say panicing xD first mayor of Paris; he tried to ease tension in Paris, begged commune to be more moderate)

11. Madame Roland (the only woman; leading activist of Gironde ; very devoted woman)

12. Philippe Egalite (with a bit dropped head and guilty look in eyes; influent jacobin and of course aristocrat; relative of the royal family)

13. Collot d'Herbois (with a vicious grin and a hammer in hand; member of CoPS, tammed a rebelion of Lyon in very cruel way)

14. Barras (with a threatening look, pointing at sth clenching fist, next to Collot; leader of thermidorian reaction)

15. Herault de Sechelles (sitting man with "what's up" expression, on the very very left; interesting figure; influent member of CoPS and Marie Antionette's best friend's cousin; aristocrat without morality)

16. Marat (standing and clenching fist; a firend of the people; probably the most radical revolutionary; after being murdered he became a god of the revolution)

17. Couthon (in the wheel chair, looking back over his shoulder; man who sued the Gironde; close ally of Robespierre)

18. Brissot (kneeling man in despair xD a leader of Gironde of course)

19. Robespierre (man with a rose and spectacles; leader of Jacobins of course)

20. Desmoulins (lying and writing sth with a plume; pen of the revolution; journalist who opposed the authorities)

21. Fabre d'Eglantine (sitting and holding French Republican Calendar; he was a creator of it; accused of malversation and forgery in connection with the affairs of the French East India Company)

22. Saint-Just (sitting, with earings and a hat with feathers; most radical ally of Robespierre, "archangel of terror")


....
ufff....
Glory, peace and patriotic rage... I'm exhausted xP

You got the basic Paris based figures. You could have added Carrier and Joseph Fouche from Lyons, and Condercet, Lavoissier, and Andre Chenier as the three non-political victims. But you got the main ones.

It was long ago and apparently I captured my fave one. There are much more really significant figures that did not appear in this picture as: Bilaud-Varennes, Lindet, Barere (if CSP is considered), Vergniaud, Gaudet, Gensonne, Ducas (if we talk about Girond), Dumouriez, Rossignol,Kellermann, Dillon (generals), Barnave, Lemeth, Chemier, Guittard (feuillants) Chaumette, Chabot, Basire (dantonists), I also skipped Barere, Tallien and Petion. And Loustalot - autor of the most famous journal of early years of the revolution.
And actually I DO love Condorcet :) I'm not sure if he can be called as non-political victim as he supported girondins and wrote the biggest constitution ever seen ;) I feel sorry for him, but he lived as a philosopher and he died like Socrates.
Oh and I also didn't draw my beloved Stanislas Freron :) As I said - it was long ago as I was drawing it.
Thanks for your. comment. I'm glad to meet someone interested in the revolution :)

oh, merci beaucoup pour tes bons mots! :D C'est unique pour moi de rencontrer les Français qui sont intéressés par la revolution française. Il semble d'être une periode traumatique pour vous (néanmoins je pense qu'elle a donné beaucoup de changements nécessaires au continent).
Alors je suis enchantée :D

You're welcome!

Oui, c'est une partie terrible de notre histoire, un moment où tout le monde est devenu fou. Mais après tout ce temps, il y a beaucoup de choses à apprendre de tout ça. Et puis on peut relativiser calmement et même voir ça avec humour, maintenant ! C'est pour ça que c'est agréable de voir des illustrations comme les tiennes aujourd'hui ! :D C'est à la fois émouvant et drôle ! :D

Happy to see David, Fouquier-Tinville and Marat showed up (outside of his bathtub). I've often come back to this image. I like it a lot! Great work.

1. And not forget that he borns with already two teeths!
19. I've guessed that the lil man with round eyeglasses was Maxime ... I've saw the 1999 Scarlet Pimpernel miniseries about 5 years ago!
8. You're talking about Charles Henri, one of his brothers of one of his sons?
6. Excuse me, I don't want to be rude ... but it spelled Fouquier-Tinville, not Fouquet!
22. Ah, the "boyfriend" of Maxime ...
20. Is he writing on the "Vieux Cordelier" or on the "Revolution of France et Brambant?"
9. "Who? Me?!?". I'm studing him to myself
17. Someone says he had got a dog and a young rabbit ...
16. Finally someone that not draws him in that bathtub!
