I made this using Notepad and a keyboard… then Photoshop. I would have liked to have added the actual ASCII art… but apparently my theme adds css style formatting to the pre tag that makes that impossible. Boo.
If anyone knows a way, I would love to share the actual text. Be sure to click the image to make it bigger.
This Buzz says, “I would look better in Windows 3.0.”
Every hero needs a family to come home to. Even if you’ve been simplified into a sphere.
This Buzz says, “Why did we all have to wear matching outfits hon? It’s so cheesy.”
If I were you looking at this I’d be saying, “Looks like he’s running out of ideas already.” But I assure you that is not the case. I was inspired to do this abstract Buzz after seeing some Street Fighter Abstracts over at infinitecontinues.net. The idea behind the originals is that the characters were so regognizable that you’d know who they were even without any detail… just the colors. I wanted to see if I could do the same thing with Buzz Ligtheyar. So there you go. How did we do?
This Buzz says, “This is what I’d look like if De Stijl painted me. Thank God for Pixar!”
A giant 50-foot Buzz smashing his way through the city. Was he created by some random blast of radiation? Is he a robot created by Zurg? Is this all just a dream? I don’t know… but I think I hear the Power Puff Girls theme song.
This Buzz says, “Buzz SMASH!!!”
Buzz has been killed! OMG!!!!!
This is (obviously) a Photoshop job… built with images, layers and filters.
This Buzz says, “…”
Going for an 80’s vibe with this one. It’s in honor of all my peeps back in KCMO! YOU KNOW!
This Buzz says, “This isn’t dancing… it’s moving, with style!”
I like making super-cute mini buzzes… so I made this.
This Buzz says, well, “Woot!” of course.
Somewhere on the interwebs I’ve seen artworks where blocks of color are used to create an image rather than outlines and fills. This is my attempt.
I originally drew him happy… but then reworked it because the pose reminded me of the moment just after he crash-landed.
This Buzz says, “I am just a toy.”
Toys do age… but not the same way we do. If they did just maybe this is what Buzz would look like.
This Buzz says, “I’m not old… I’m Vintage!”
I tried to draw Buzz with my eyes closed. I laughed out loud when I saw what I ended up with versus what it looked like in my head. I think it’s so messed up that I drifted down the page. I had my whole arm on the table to keep from doing just that!
This Buzz says, “Years of academy training, wasted!”
