Not every Buzz turns out the way I imagine it will. Here is a perfect example of this. Darth Vader and Buzz Lightyear… a match made in Geek Heaven, right? Wrong! Fail! He looks like a fat, dorky Sith Lord.
I’ll be redoing this one. You can count on that.
This Buzz says, “I am no one’s Father. Still single.”
If you don’t know, a QR Code is kind of like a barcode… except it can store a lot more information… including a secret ASCII Buzz creation that will come up if you scan this code. If you have an Android use the Barcode Scanner App to see it properly. If you’re using the iPhone, find an app that displays results with carriage returns (more than just a single line).
If you can’t make it work, come back tomorrow… I’ll post a pic of the results as I see it.
This Buzz says, “Let me out!”
I present Buzz Lightyear as a classic Knight. I don’t know if they had green tinted armor back then or not… or if they wore aprons… or even flags on their backs for that matter. But do know one thing. Sir Buzz the Light sure did.
This Buzz says, “Thou art making jest of me… aren’t thou?”
I’m a huge Buzz Lightyear fan… but back in High School (88-91) I was really into The Ninja Turtles. Not those wimpy cartoon characters that were popular back then… I’m talking about the original Eastman and Laird comics where they all whore wore red bandannas and had a huge attitude. I would even buy the toys and mod them to look like the comics. I even painted Raph up on my bedroom wall. Anyway, it was about time to combine my two great geek passions.
This Buzz says, “Say “Cowabunga” and I’ll gut you like a fish!”
Mutilated Hotdog Buzz is more like it. I made this after eating hotdogs tonight. One thing I learned. Hotdogs are not good for carving. There is so much grease, even in a Turkey-dog, that even an X-acto knife cuts like a flat rock.
This Buzz says, “I should be a bad guy in Axe Cop!”
I couldn’t resist making a second Buzz Lightyear ring out of polymer clay. I made the face smaller so I could get that chestplate in.
This Buzz says, “I look like Ziggy.”
Whether you call him a Personality Core or a Corrupt Core or even Wheatly… this fellow is from Portal 2. No doubt. I imagine that he was grabbed by one of the sketch artists (human test subjects) who are always marking up the walls in Portal and Portal 2 and using a bit of gel here and some markers there… dressed the little joker up as Buzz Lightyear. Either that or I just finished playing the game and had Portal 2 on the brain and just wanted to pay homage to an amazing game and sequel.
This Buzz says, “Spaaaaaaacce!”
In the classic style of Steamboat Willie, I present Retro Buzz!
This Buzz says, “Drink Blinko!”
A quick sketch on the back of an old Nobody’s Listening podcast business card.
This Buzz says, “It looks like I have pig-tails.”
“Draw Buzz as a snail.”
“Okay.”
This Buzz says, “Team Turtle!”
