BREAKING NEWS!!

Tron lightcycles are hard to draw.
The future is apparently made of wonky ellipses.

That's because they* can cross the space-time continuum.

Ok, here we go.
Ellipses.
Shoddy.






Don't know if it's gonna get any better....

Ellipses.
Edges.
Hard surfaces.
These are a few of my favourite things.



I have no idea what's going on in the background.

I like it Val. It’s got that Tron vibe without just being a direct copy of a movie still.
I mean, who’d try to do something that cliched and uncreative?

Lovely cinematic background, Atto.

Wish mine had something like that.
I did try and develop it a bit more this evening but it still made no sense so I'll have to backtrack a bit and think about it some more.

I wish I could get into the habit of laying in a perspective grid BEFORE I paint a rubbish background.

*thinks about it a bit more*

3 days?

*continues thinking about this last bit*

uhm... wasn't it 10 or even 15 days just.. erm... a few days ago?
