Description If you were to ask my opinion of the new Tron movie you should know that I'm not a credible source. As a 5 year old I LOVED Tron before I even loved Star Wars. I had the toys, the read along mini-vinyl, the P.J.s, the lunchbox you name it! My kindergarten year was nothing but Tron. So naturally I LOVED the new movie. I was in geek heaven from start to finish. Sure the screenplay was weak, but the direction, delivery, and of course the FX were incredible!!

So I hope you enjoy my tribute

lol...I feel your geekness! This is beautiful fan artwork! I think Flynn's expression is spot on, and you caught some of my favorite things from Tron- like the recognizers! So weird and creepy! I love them! Also, I like that particular Clu pose, where he's gazing out at his city he's trying to perfect. Quorra is captured very well! The pixels are a nice touch- very creative and almost symbolic of what appears to happen at the end of the film.

Anywho...I'm actually putting together a Tron tribute video featuring fanart. Would it be okay if I included this? I will have a list of everything by order of appearance, and with links back to the original pieces.

Nicely done mate. Ha, I wanted to draw a lightcycle first and you included it in your drawing. Awesome.

Flynn lives!

A great piece... I also loved the movie. You didn't mention the music - I thought that was also one of the incredible aspects of the movie

Holy. Mother. Of. Several. Things. That is beautiful. You are a master with the coloured pencil, and once again the composition is flawless and the likenesses startling. The pixel effect at the top of the drawing is very, very clever as well. Well done once again, Rob.

Thanks much buddy . I'm glad you like the "derezzed" look at the top . I wasn't sure about it at first.

Jedd-the-Jedi In reply to RobD4E [2011-01-10 14:58:43 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome, and the "derezzed" look certainly works; it completes the whole picture.

Wonder what they'll crank out in another 20 years *or 28 ... 29?*

I'm thinking no matter the form, Tron will always give us something to "play" with.

Wow, just . . . wow . . . ! I love the composition of this piece, how you took several different film posters and put them together in a very fluid way! Plus, you did really good at capturing the characters' likenesses and also, great job on the light effects!

I've never seen the original Tron film, but I loved Tron: Legacy. It's one of those films that is pure entertainment and is so fun to watch despite whatever pitfalls it might have. Actually, the awesome aspects of the film make you ignore any flaws! And I mean that in a good way. Some people might think fans of this film are only superficial and care only about the special effects. I loved the effects, but that wasn't all I enjoyed about the film.

Because of Tron: Legacy I now really want to watch the original '80s film! It'd be fun!

Much appreciated and well said my friend
Definitely check out the original. It was ahead of it's time for sure . Plus you'll notice a lot of throwbacks to the original next time you watch Legacy
