Wasn't sure were to place (either here or the letter writing info. Though maybe gone in either?) but anyway...

I played with the Tron logo on Gimp to represent Uprising that could be used on emails as well letterheads if anyone was interested. Not sure how to post imiges on the site so here are the links:

Can I borrow the second letterhead for my letter for tomorrow?

I'll follow suit, Bandit!

Also, I sent those next letters of mine to Disney's offices. Feeling good!

Sagitta Wrote:LucrataNexarii, thanks for the compliment. ShadowSpark, Thanks for posting the actual images. And sure. Consider them all free to use.

Cool. Off I go to write this month's letter.

Never falter, Riversong!

There are likely thousands of Programs who can't do much more than send letters. But sending letters - the most basic of contributions from all of us - is exactly the force which can have great cumulative effect!

I'd gladly hear of your own letters added to our count! I'm proud to update the numbers in my signature each time I send another two letters to Disney's offices.

It lets us share our voice, our enthusiasm, our intent, and our art and personal expression.

I want to see that 'Letters to Disney' thread take off!

I'm itching to work on plenty of things. Those letterheads are especially nice, Sagitta! Thanks again for providing them!

Current list of intent:

- Drafts for inspirational User-support comics for sharing online
- Drafts for paper figures
- Plans for 'Book of the Uprising'
- Digital layout for 'Tron Lives' slides
- Bust-style sculpture of Tron
- Letters! With art.
- Letter topic list (just for variety)where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

a BIG thank you to all the work you guys are doing!!! Allow me to say at least that,while i have been really exhausted with occupying schoolwork myself. >

I'm curious, what is the Purpose of these paper stick figures?

I do have two test paper figures I at least have sketched down onto some poster-board. One is of Tron standing, one hand raised in a 'fist-bump' gesture - the holding tab is there. My other idea was for a 'high-five' gesture... I have plenty of other ideas. I'll likely end up sketching them down on a page, and submitting it in the Fan Art section for opinions.

I want to color them both with differing techniques (one in ink and colored pencil, and another in acrylic and ink), and then coat them in a few layers of Mod Podge sealant, mostly to test their durability. I'll also subject the poor things to some abuse, to test their fastness against stains, tea, charcoal, crumpling, being dropped,stepped on, and tugged/ripped.

After all, I don't take any scruples past Murphy's Law. Better to subject the figures to as many stresses as I can, to see how survivable they will be. However, my intent is still to actually have them in duplicates in the book's integrated pockets. I'll also laminate and send a note along with it, containing basic instructions for sending from fan to fan, 'end' instructions for the book to be returned to me once full, or once the list of participants is exhausted, and a set of contact information in case of damages or complete loss of certain figures.

I'd been working on some sculpting of Tron, in bust-style. I've essentially had to rework this entire sculpture, as it was in need of a thicker armature. The sculpture itself has rapidly gotten rather bulky, and the volume alone is a challenge. Not that it was my intent, but Tron's face is near to what I'd imagine life-sized to be... Working at that scale is rather difficult, as I am used to more manageable scales of detail. But, I've been pushing myself to work large and challenge those limits.

The only downside is that plasticine does not exactly smooth nicely, and overall Tron's magnitude of detail is not exactly great; he is mostly smooth surfaces, with any real texture just being his face, and partially his hair.

Otherwise, one would think his overall facial structure easy to model - but seeing a figure (still or animated), and sculpting a figure are two separate things; I also don't have spectacular sculpting skills. Much as with any artwork, one becomes so accustomed to staring at it while working that one essentially becomes blind to any areas of error. So, gauging exact details is a taxing, tedious process.

I can only hope it all turns out in the end. After all, I consider the end arbiter to be the fandom itself. The last challenge would be his chest, and including that 'T' emblem, and the disc on his back - hopefully. I also wish to have three versions of his facial expression, 'Mentor,' 'Hero,' and 'Scars.' But, given that I've had to add more mass to the armature, adding a tilt to his facial angle may no longer be possible - it takes quite some wrestling just to get the inner base to move! (It's so awkward to handle, I have to grip the base with both hands, and use my *shoulder* to move it! And I'd have to remove and replace the entire actual sculptural mass-layer just to do it...)

Speaking of which, I've had to cut into and work with Tron's eye-socket(s) so much, I feel worse than Dyson. =p Not to mention cutting into the back of Tron's head to add more volume-inserts to preserve plasticine supply... Sculpting is an art with brutal, primal nuance. Or so I joke.

Again, it's been a while. I take it others have been busy or away. I haven't seen IZI around as well.

So, I'd humbly request some opinions on these intended books - the ones meant to be shipped about from fan to fan, making their rounds.

First, my idea was for their pages to be cardstock (64 lb. paper, versus typical 24 lb.). This would allow them to be very durable, and accept all ink, artwork media, and also adhesion of photographs to them (with a border around the photos for commentary). Due to the cardstock's thickness and thicker spine swell, I've decided to limit them to ~94 pages a book.

Second, the covers would be fine particle board in 1/4 inch thickness, covered in leather. Each book would have at least one buckle-closure, if not two. These would also allow some expansion of the book due to inclusion of photos, papers, notes, or anything else any Program wants to send along.

However, the binding is what I wished to ask of. It would be easy to incorporate a simple Chicago-screw binding - but this would both leave the screws open to possibly coming loose, and otherwise directly interfe with the outer appearance of the books (unsightly). Generally Chicago-screw bindings lack a proper spine, and are less protective to the contents.

I am accustomed to a Monastic style binding - the 'old school' bindings, with cords in the spine which are laced onto and through the book boards, where leather covers the full book and spine (I could also design it to have more of a clamshell type binding), and there would be endbands (an additional point of strength and character), and some bookmark ribbons.

I also wish to make a custom carrying-case for each book, for practicality and ease of the Programs as they go about. The main section would be fitted to the book, with the inner/back side of the case with a flat-pocket, and the outer side of the front of the case with a thicker pocket, enough to stow a general device, camera, or other matter anyone might require while about. The sides could have a simple pocket for tucking a hip-strap, and it's opposite side likewise for a shoulder-strap.

Where the paper figures are meant to be kept can either be in the book itself in an attached pocket, or otherwise in the case itself.

Opinions?

(Exterior decoration is another matter, and one I'd have to produce some sketches for. Again, ideas? I'd be glad for anything others have to share.)
