i think what made tron: legacy thematically fucky was misinterpreting tron as a sci-fi/transhumanist story. tron LOOKS sci-fi, and employs scientific concepts to drive its story, but really it’s fantasy — a romp across a nigh-medieval landscape, following a god that accidentally gets pulled down to his subject’s level, exploring their faith and skepticism along the way. the themes are mostly religious, it’s a movie about faith lol. another thing to understand imo is that programs-as-characters, rather than advanced borderline-alive AIs, are actually like, animist manifestations of computer components, more like sprites and fairies than digital human beings………………

I attended a lecture not too long ago from a well-known animator, who talked about the technique of "digitizing humans" for animation back in the 70s.
Well, that wasn't quite what they did in the original Tron, but the comparison was too amusing to ignore. So, whilst listening to the lecture, I sketched Flynn trying to explain the concept to Tron.
Just something fun I thought I'd share.
Tron lives!

"What's he like?"
Haven't done many full-scale drawings as of late. Been busy with life stuff, so I'll mostly be posting little sketches and uploading old drawings in the meantime.
I finally took some time to doodle Quorra, like I said I was going to!
Tron lives!
Drawn using Procreate.

Greetings, programs! The Always zine will be released in a little less than a week, so we thought we would do a quick charity spotlight on Girls Who Code, the organization we've chosen to support.
According to their mission statement, "Girls Who Code is on a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does."
Their outreach programs include clubs, summer programs, and college and career programs.
500,800 girls, women and nonbinary individuals are engaged in their in-person coding programs.
They're on track to close the gender gap in new entry level-tech jobs by 2030.
Their work is focused not only on gender diversity, but also reaching young women who are historically underrepresented in computer science fields, such as those from minority backgrounds, low-income backgrounds, and/or those who have had a lack of exposure or access to computer science.
We've chosen to support this organization because Cindy Morgan often mentioned how many women told her that her role as Lora inspired them to pursue a career in science, and how much this meant to her. Any and all donations made to the Always zine will be donated to Girls Who Code in Cindy Morgan's name. The zine will be pay what you can, but we will have a print ready version available for download for a minimum $15 donation.
We hope you'll consider donating to our zine! While no amount is required, any amount will be greatly appreciated. 💙
More to come!
