Description
Well, my wife and I are assembling a new Sketchbook for this year's convention season. The focus of the book is all the sketches and drawings we've done for our blog, which we had only started in January of '07. It's been a year, and this is a sort of retrospective of our blogging.And, since it was all about our trek through cyberspace, when we were thinking of a cover I immediately thought of Tron. Good God almighty, do I ever love Tron. Comfort was down with it, too, and even suggested the idea before I got the chance.
So she sketched up a rough and I designed the costumes (the boob-window was HER idea!!!
), then we each drew ourselves in and I colored the whole thing. Now, at long last, I have completed a piece of Tron fan-art that also happens to feature me and my lovely wife. Now, if that ain't a geek's fantasy come true, I don't know what is.

I forgot to ask you this with my original comment, but what would your favorite game be on the Game Grid of the original movie?
Myself, It would be awesome to take on maybe 8 or even 16 red circuited video warriors in a Disk Battle for a real challenge, though i'd most likely derez in such an event XD!
And it would also be awesome to compete in the Ring Game and Light Cycles, too

Light cycles look cool, but in the actual arena I think it would be too nerve-wracking.

I wasn't a fan of Legacy to be honest because it took away a number of elements I held dear from the original film. I guess I don't care for the minimalist design philosophy, plus the programs were too human and the way they derez saddens me. Rinzler was also a loathed factor as well.

Well, I loved it. And Tron: Uprising, too. I know it wasn't to the taste of some, but both the film and cartoon were unquestionably well-made and well done works. That doesn't mean everyone will like them, but I certainly did and I'm as big a fanboy of original Tron as you're likely to find.

I'm didn't think you weren't. I'm glad you respect my view on the film. Thank you.

I've still never seen Tron or Tron Legacy. Apparently the first came out in 1982??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Waaaay back. I highly recommend both, though Legacy is a film more built on subtext and metaphor (the deeper you like to think about and analyze a movie, the more you'll like it). I also recommend the Tron: Uprising TV series VERY highly. Excellent, excellent cartoon.

If it's a sequal to the first, then how could one watch Legacy in theaters w/out first watching the original on youtube or whatever?
Do they still show Uprising?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Theoretically it's possible, but yeah you'd be better off watching Tron first, probably. It's a fascinating movie - if possible, try and find some of the documentaries about it or rent the special edition DVD or something to see how it was made. No movie has ever been made the way they made Tron, and no movie ever will again. It is unique in history.
Uprising wrapped its first season, not sure if they're showing reruns but you can find it on iTunes or other places. I think iTunes might have the first couple episodes free - at least, they did at one point.

Wonderful! Nothing's quite as romantic as two lovers standing back-to-back and ready to rock their enemies' world!

Everytime I look at Tron pictures, I'm always drawn to yours. This is so cool.

Thank you. That's really nice of you to say.

Awesome work! I like the light streaks following the disks, that was a nice touch, and I LOVE that the skin tones more resemble the look of the original Tron, as opposed to the sequel (which, as I write this, I realize wasn't even out when you submitted this piece . . . oh well).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. It was the streaks that really set it off for me; the final touch, as it were.

That is awesome! Love how the light pops out!!
The inner-geek in me squeals with delight. Plus you're wife's awesome to add a 'boob window' to her outfit; both of you look like a force to be reckon with!

We have fun, that's for sure.

I personally enjoyed Tron: Legacy, even though I was the only person in my area who did. Ah well. And I personally like the art-style in Tron: Legacy way better then the style of the old film. It had more of a futuristic feel then an 80s video-game feel, and that's why I prefer it.

I loved the movie to death, and really don't understand the Hateraid that everybody's drinking. It was one of my favorite movies I've seen in a while. As for the art style, I like both for different reasons, but my preference would be somewhere in the middle - a little of the old and a little of the new.

Nice interpretation but I beleive Cora has short black hair!

That... isn't Cora. Did you read the description? This was a piece I made in 2008 for the cover to the sketchbook by me and my wife. It's a caricature of us as Tron characters.

hey, idk if anyone else has suggested this yet but maybe u should do another one of these but update it with the tron: legacy look
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably not. For one thing, who has the time? I'm busy as a mofo over here.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i kno what u mean, most of my time is consumed with work or school, i havent really had the time to sit down and actually make a piece of art. i do the occasional drawing from time to time but nothing real exciting 
But, it was just an idea, i really liked ur piece and was curious to see how u would have done another one with the new look. when i get a chance to draw i liked making my heroes Tron-ifyed with the new look, like what marvel did wit theirs.
im also kinda think the new look is, ok. deff modern but not too computer looking, and alot more black which i really didnt mind, i like black
and they took away the helmets, i would have maybe made them smaller and different but still would have kept them.

This is seriously awesome. Much love to both of you for this.

I made this back in 2008 - way, way, way before Tron 2 came out. In a lot of ways I actually prefer the look of the original digital style to the new. It's more intricate and feels more computery to me. I'm all for simplification MOST of the time, but in this case I'd just love to see costumes that mixed both styles but leaned toward the classic but everybody on the new-style light cycles.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you. Something more computer-y mixed with the simplistic design of the new suits. Besides, those new light cycles are just so badass! Definitely a favorite part of the movie.
