This piece started with a simple Buzz graphic that I did back in 2002. Just today I added the cartridge, label, titling and carpeting to complete the effect.

Buzz 010 – Quake Buzz
Back in 1997 I was really into Quake. I loved to play it and create custom skins for it. I wasn’t the best skinner out there… but I enjoyed some notoriety in the community. I did several skins for Quake… my Elvis skin was requested for the Omicron Bot Project… one of the most popular bot addons in the day. But my first skin was what you see here… Good old Buzz Lightyear.
The original graphic is much smaller and didn’t have any green. I used colors that allowed the player to change what would be green into any color they wanted. So I modified this original a bit just to make it look right.
Note that I apparently never finished his backside.
Buzz 009 – Pixel Lego Buzz
In 2002 I was very into pixel art… and I really wanted a Buzz Lightyear Lego minifig. Alas there wasn’t such a thing until 2010. Here is what I imagined a Buzz Lightyear Minifig would look like. Naturally I stuck to the basic shape of the typical minifig. There wasn’t a lot of custom heads and such back then.
