PIXAR
STAR WARS
I did these just as an idea. I am not really great at drawing, I generally sculpt, but
thought this was a fun idea and decided to post them with the release of Toy
Story 3.
At first I just filled in the drawings with solid
colors, but later decided to try filling it with various textures, I
actually like the effect. I drew the characters
traditionally, scanned them, and then filled in the textures.
I plan on sculpting all them into maquettes or
figures.
Wall-E
(Wall-E) &
R2-D2
The bi-pedal
design, utilitarian nature, and non vocal communication made them a natural
pairing.
Eva
(Wall-E) & C-3PO
If Wall-E was R2
then obviously Eva should be 3PO, plus the sleeker design when compared to
Wall-E had a similar juxtaposition of elements.
Hopper
(A Bug's Life) & Stormtrooper
I hated wasting a
bad guy on basically a grunt soldier, but the more I thought about it I
liked the bug shell/armor comparison.
Zurg
(A Toy Story 2) & Darth Vader
Of all the
characters this is the biggest no-brainer. Obviously Zurg was inspired
on some level as a Vader-esque character. The film even uses Star Wars
dialogue, scenarios, and sound effects.
Flik
(A Bug's Life) & Luke
Skywalker
I really like this
pairing. A Bug's Life is often over looked in the Pixar catalog.
Both Luke and Flik are wide-eyed dreamers who long for a bigger/better life.
Atta
(A Bug's Life) & Princess
Leia
If Luke was and
ant, and Luke and Leia are related then Atta should be an ant. Plus my
daughter likes both of these characters so I liked combining
them. Both characters are powerful women leaders.
Carl
Fredrickson (Up) & Obi-Wan
Kenobi
No grand subtext
here, they are both old. But this is my favorite one of all.
Sully
(Monster's Inc.) & Chewbacca
This is the one
that started this whole idea. I was watching Monsters Inc. with my
daughter for the hundredth time, and the light bulb when we were talking and
compared Chewbacca to Sully.
Woody
(A Toy Story) & Han Solo
Han obviously has
his origins in the gun slinging westerns, so this was an obvious
pairing. I am surprised how little I had to change to make this work.
Mike
Wazowski (Monster's Inc.) &
Yoda
Short, green, nuf
said.
Buzz
Lightyear (A Toy Story) &
Boba Fett
My first idea was
to use Syndrome from the Incredibles to include all the films, but I like
the idea of the armor and jet pack. Plus combining my 2 favorite
characters from both universes could not be passed up.
