Don’t know why I haven’t found enough time to do more sketches but its been a while since I’ve posted one.

I take that back.

There have been other sketches I’ve done but haven’t felt were worth posting.  Some I’ve come close to finishing but decided it just wasn’t working.

C’est la vie.

Anyway, this is one I did manage to finish up yesterday.  I like it:

This is from the original 1982 Tron, a film I was so damn excited to see back in the day but which turned out to be a disappointment.

The graphics/effects, for the time, were out of this world but the reality is that the film was… well… far less interesting than the effects.

In fact, I was amused when in 2010 the very belated sequel, Tron: Legacy came out and Disney, the movie’s producers, made it quite difficult for audiences to get their hands on the original film, something you would figure they’d be more than happy to do.  Yet there was no “special edition” of the original movie made available via DVD.  Nothing at all.

I suspect they knew what I did: That the original film wasn’t all that good so just keep the whole thing mysterious and release the DVD later on, which they did.

Alas, the sequel was just as weak, IMHO, story wise as the original while the effects were quite amazing.

I suppose the more things change, the more they stay the same?

Even though the movie(s) may not have been all that much, I do still like the original’s visuals and enjoyed taking on this image.
