Description Buzz Lightyear, or as my oldest son calls him, "Buzz Wighkyeaw." I did this for a Ten Ton Studios Weekly Sketch Challenge, but mainly did it because my oldest son loves him. So, to that end, I really put some time in to this one. I wanted to go with "real world" elements for Buzz, but still retain some of the toy-like shape dynamics and feel. I hope you like!

Thanks for looking,

-B

Thanks very much! This one was very fun for me. I'd love to do more in this vein (more realistic versions of cartoon characters)...once I have the time.

I don't mean that as in the drawing is shit.

Because it's fantastic. I just mean Buzz lightyear himself.

He's like a cheap rip off of a Space Marine.

But without the guns n violence and mad kick boxin skillz.

Actually, since he's a Space RANGER, he'd likely be more like a...Ranger than a Marine

Ha! Dude, you made my day! I didn't know how a slightly more "real" Buzz would be received.

Thanks so much!
