Buzz 133 – Minecraft Buzz Number Four

I found this cool pixel Buzz online and wanted to build it in Minecraft… so I did. I know I’ve done a few of these now… but I really enjoy seeing these super small pixel images done up as huge monuments in-game. I used a technique I found on YouTube to squeeze a few more colors out of Minecraft. If you build using two layers instead of one, you can sick a block back behind another and get a darker version of that color… because the game draws a shadow over it. So when you’re looking at Buzz here, the purple is actually all the same color… but the ones that appear darker are actually just set back one block.

This Buzz says, “I look much better than my predecessors.”

Buzz 132 – Quick Pointillism Buzz Lightyear

We got back from the Nobody’s Listening meetup in Orlando, Florida at 11:55pm tonight. I still hadn’t done my Buzz for today. I have several in the works… but none were ready. Then I thought, “Let’s make a Buzz out of dots!” So here’s what I came up with an hour later.

This Buzz says, “I may be made completely of little dots… but I’m still 100% man, babe. Rawr!”

Buzz 126 – “Pencil Vs Camera” Buzz

I was greatly inspired by the work of Ben Heine known as Pencil Vs Camera or Drawing Vs Photography. I did my own version. Of course it’s not a real photograph… but being that I’m doing a daily Buzz I started with a stock Toy Story 3 image and added my own work on top.

This Buzz says, “I have a fork for an arm!!!”

Buzz 125 – Dali Buzz

Here in my city we have the second largest Dali museum in the world. I know right? Jealous much? Actually it is pretty awesome. My wife and I toured it last month and though not ever piece of the over 1000 works spoke to me… there are several enormous pieces that are absolutely out of this world. One of my favorite has got to be his Lincoln. NOT because there’s a naked lady either… but because this dude was doing pixel art before there was pixel art! Genius.

This Buzz says, “My back hurts!” or “I’m melllltttttiiiinnnggggg!”
