Woo! Friday has not arrived too soon! And with Friday comes flashback mash-ups!

This week we get zapped back into the computer world of Tron! To change things up a little though, I decided to feature designs from Tron Legacy rather than the original movie.

As I was browsing through pictures from the movie trying to find a striking pose to recreate, I came upon one of the movie posters which itself was an homage to the original movie and decided that was the one to go with. Because of Cyran’s short height however, I had to give him a little boost, which is why he’s standing on a pedestal.  I could have gone with someone taller, like Todrick who would have made sense because he’s Nektara’s boyfriend, or Red Rich, since he was Flynn in the original set and Tron Legacy features Flynn’s son, but with Cyran being the one who receives the energy wrench (disk) in the original set, I chose him to be featured again in this piece. I went with Nektara because she was featured in the original set and her hair matches up well with Quorra’s. As always, click on the picture to zoom in.

I don’t usually link the original picture I used as a model, but in this case, I’m including it just to compare.

And while we’re comparing things, here are comparisons to the original Tron mash-ups!

So that’s it for this week! Next week is another sci-fi staple! Peace out!

Crismus is Coming!

So there’s this thing called Christmas, right? I hear it’s a pretty big deal.

I got a good chunk of my Christmas shopping done this weekend. And BOY was it difficult! I mean, clicking on my mouse to order things off the internet? Killer! Whew! In all seriousness, there were some transactions that were more difficult than they needed to be and some sites aren’t as transparent as to their operating practices. Bottom line, if you’re advertising a product and there’s a big $100 price tag on the page and in the small print at the bottom it’s written that that’s only for the first installment, you’re being pretty shady. Actually, I didn’t even see the small print at first! It was only when I was halfway through the payment process that I saw that they were giving me the option to pay all three payments at once (for a grand total of $300). That made me go back to the front page and scroll around until I finally noticed the small print. Seriously?! I’m not going to name the company because a) I don’t want the person I was shopping for to deduce what they are (or in this case are not) getting and b) I don’t want to give them any publicity on the page.

I have the Crismus week strips drawn. That leaves one more week of three strips to go.

Speaking of strips, pretty big cliffhanger on Thursday huh? What? You haven’t read it? You’re waiting for the storyline to be finished to read it all in one fell swoop? Well, there’s still has a LONG way to go before the storyline is done.Are you sure you want to wait that long?

I was able to get most of the work done on a new flashback piece last night. I just have the shading left to do. My goal is to do one flashback from each theme I feel need to be revisited and then jump between the themes as I choose. Three weeks of Star Wars followed by a week of DC and then a week of Avengers before jumping back to Star Wars? Maybe! We’ll see how it goes! This week’s Tron flashback will likely be the only Tron revisit. The original theme was a small one to begin with and the flashback is kind of a two-for anyway.

Okay, that’s all for this week! Have a good one folks!
