Visions of Lightyear

I've been really impressed with some of the Toy Story fanmixes I've heard, and I wanted to make one of my own to share. This all came together pretty quickly. I wanted to make up a nice cover for it, a nod to the Gorillaz dub album Laika Come Home.

You can download the music and front and back covers of the fanmix here.

I don't draw Buzz enough, and I find the more I do, the more I like him. He's an incredibly genuine character, totally selfless and without ego (once he made the Big Realization). He will do anything it takes to make sure everyone is safe and happy. He's the consummate chivalrous hero.

I can't imagine anyone who's ever been in space could not be totally humbled by the experience. I'm sure all cosmonauts have their moments of being paralyzed with awe. I was kind of going for that. Drawing glow-in-the-dark stuff is fun.
