Aw, I know! I just didn't want to get your hopes up.

I realized there WAS some art I could show while the final art for Part 1 is being created - the sketches! I had to come up with the look for the new characters appearing in Redemption. I had a good idea of their basic look in my head, but now it was time to get them on paper in anticipation of the next illustrations.

First up is Ren. I think she's pretty close to being finalized, actually. May need to tweak here and there (still not sure about the lip color) but I like the basic look. Her body is all wonky and the pose is weird, but it's just a sketch I suppose.


Next up is Jaren. Still thinking about this one. It's more difficult to get the glowing parts right on something that's not tight-fitting armor, I think. I may need to take it down a notch. Still thinking. Thankfully I don't need to draw him for my next illustration.

Oh man this is sounding great! The prologue is great! and the artwork is superb! Looking forward to reading this!

On another note, your artwork is amazing. I wish I could draw that well.

Again, thanks for all the nice comments!

Oh that is strange. You know, I kept wanting to say "costume" while writing part one and I kept having to change it. I guess I missed that one! Nice catch! I just did a find and replace and thankfully that was the only instance... and of course it's the only one I actually have shown to the public!

Still working. Got illustration #3 done today and will probably start on #4 tonight. Then after that there's about 4 more to go and I need to go through the story for a final edit... or two.

So it'll be a while yet. But I am going to post a few more sketches either tonight or tomorrow. Can't wait for you guys to read the first part and see what you think!

Next up, a sketch of Modin.

Seconded! The preview page shows real promise in both your writing and drawing style. For me the image of Rinzler/Tron's hand and disc thrusting out of the water is wonderful! Funny coincidence, after seeing Legacy for the first time I commented to my partner than I had an idea for the sequels title: TRON: Redemption! so I am very interested to see your art and of course read your story.

Glad you guys are still interested! It's taken a little longer than I thought because things got a bit hectic at work and that's taking a lot of my creative energy right now! BUT... I made some really good progress the last couple days. I only have about one illustration left to do. Then I'll give Part 1 a final edit and can finally post it!

In the meantime, here's a new sketch. Every story needs a villain, and I think I've got a good one. His name is Jex. And he imagines himself a rather grand figure. That's all I'll say for now.

Yep! Kinda inspired by it. He has delusions of grandeur.
