To Infinity and Beyond - brilliant Buzz Lightyear art with an amazingly touching story!

Here is another great piece of art from artist Dan LuVisi. A few days ago I shared his great art piece of Eve from Wall-E as a warrior. This time Dan has drawn an incredibly life-like picture of Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.

The art piece is amazingly done but the story that Dan LuVisi has created to go with the piece is perhaps even better! You can see the piece below and read the story that goes with it below the art. The story gives a refreshing take on Buzz Lightyear that will have you looking at the Toy Story film in a whole new light. It is creative and extremely sad/touching and really adds to Buzz's character. Well done, Dan!

"As Buzz's final moment came before him, he glared into the black abyss, only capturing one last one thing: a promise he made his son:

"I will always protect and watch over you. To infinity and beyond."

Buzz was an all American hero. He worked for the Star Command Army and had been recently promoted to Staff Sgt, leading the young and brave through interstellar wars against the evil alien terrorist, Zurg.

While deep in space, Buzz's ship was pulled into a worm-hole caused by his arch-nemesis Commander Zurg. Buzz tried everything in his power to turn his ship around, but to no avail. At this point, Buzz and his crew only had one option: abandon ship.

As the ship took more damage, the rescue pods began to deplete. Buzz allowed each member to escape as he tried to give them every last minute--until finally, it was too late.

Buzz, and his cruiser, were pulled into the worm-hole, and was never seen or heard from again. Buzz was announced dead by Star Command and the world mourned for the hero that saved over two hundred lives that day. He would leave behind his beloved wife, daughter and son.

However, Buzz did not die that day. He awoke to find himself still trapped into his own ship. All in tact, and still in his suit, he tried to escape but realized he was imprisoned, bound by wires.

This would be the first day of Buzz's new life, cast away into another dimension from Zurg's worm-hole, Buzz was no longer the human he once thought he was.

For now Buzz was wrapped away as an action figure, and on his way to a birthday party for a young boy named Andy.

Buzz's very own son."
