Apparently this weekend is about mixing Buzz Lightyear with Social Networking. It seems lately that all the uber geeks on Twitter have been recreating their profile icons in this 8 bit-ish format. I figured I’d do the same… except with the Buzz Lightyear twist that we’ve all grown to love.
This Buzz says, “I’m so cutting edge I bleed pixies… I mean pixels!”
I love the parodies on the default facebook profile picture that are out there. I figured some of us might want to see a Buzz Lightyear silhouette. So here it is.
This Buzz says, “Do you play Farmville? Frontierville? I play Awesesomeville!”
Note: I actually set this as my own facebook profile image. Friend me if you want.
Have you seen these Star Wars African Masks? They’re awesome! I had to do one of my own. I don’t know if mine looks African or Tiki… but I’d like to think African… well, more Disney-style African.
This Buzz says, “I’ve adapted and they seem to have accepted me into their culture.”
Remember the Mr. Men and Little Miss books? Yeah, I hardly do either. I remember there was a happy one… a messy one… probably a lazy one. I think I remember the Letter People more than I remember these guys… but anyway. Here’s a Buzz Lightyear drawn in the style of a Mr. Man character.
I would be amiss if I did not mention my inspiration for this one was from Seven Hundred’s 82 Heroes/Villains Drawn As Mr. Men.
This Buzz says, “Mr. Buzz? Years of Academy training wasted!!”
In stark contrast to yesterday’s disturbing Joker Buzz, today we have this super cute Toy Giraffe dressed as Buzz Lightyear. I stole the toy from my son and build his suit from Crayola Air-Dry Clay and painted it up with Apple Barrel paints from Micheal’s. It was a fun little project.
This Buzz says, “I think the word your looking for is Space Giraffe!”
I started this one as a cartoon… it quickly turned into a full digital painting. Keep in mind this is Heath Ledger’s Joker… so he’s creepy… so I guess it turned out right.
This Buzz says, “Do you know how I got these scars? Let’s play”.
The kids were outside drawing on the driveway so I figured I’d get involved. This Buzz Lightyear is the result. If he’s not my best work it’s because I was having to keep a 6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy from walking all over it. I can’t do chalk drawings without thinking about Burt in Marry Poppins.
This Buzz says, “I wish they had a bigger driveway. I might have had arms and a torso.”
Once I started drawing, the kids wanted to be right next to me and do their own versions. Jenna did Jessie and J asked me to draw him a Woody… then he finished it in his own style. See them after the jump. Continue reading
This is a Buzz Lightyear created from basic communion elements. I literally used an old quill pin and dipped it in the grape juice to draw out the face.
This Buzz says, “This is not my body that was broken for you.”
The idea for this Buzz Lightyear came out of no where as I was finishing my dinner Thursday evening. I didn’t even think it would be possible but pretty soon, I had what passed for a recognizable Buzz. My kids were impressed anyway.
This Buzz says, “You don’t need no Parmesan cause I got the cheese right here.”
I’ve carried a Moleskine Notebook for a couple of years now. They’re great for putting down ideas and sketches and stuff. Here’s a drawing I did the other day. Nothing special I suppose… but the squiggly lines that surround Buzz is actually just one long line. Some people draw stars when they’re bored… I’ve always filled pages with these maze-like lines that are actually just one line.
This Buzz says, “So what.”
