derp...
gonna try for Link, in a more realistic facial style, trapped inside The Grid.

Link currently looks like this:

how i imagine the shield to look:

Tron Link, that's actually a pretty cool idea there.

Good luck

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

thanks man... yeah i'm having more fun than i thought i would. i found the brief a little restrictive (didn't want to do JUST fighting chars), but this is a good compromise =]

ONOEZ!!! I GOT GRID IN MY ZELDA!

Awesome idea, I look forward to seeing what you do with this!

I totally agree with you. At first I was kind of meh, but this is turning out pretty awesome.

I think because it's restrictive, it forces even more creativity, Only a good thing@!

with and without helmet. i can't draw for crap, so hopefully it'll come out better in 3d lol. wanted to make the helmet somewhat remeniscant of his dopey green hat :P

Emil Mujanovic · Mar 2011

Awesome start, man. Keep pushing those designs and I think you'll end up with a really strong entry.

fearian · Mar 2011

Holo shield! nice!

He looks a bit 80's tron at the moment, which look are you shooting for? I'd also make put a bit more yellow in that green and make it lighter, similar to how the blue lights in TRON Legacy are more of a white-blue.

Love Tron, can't wait!

e:ooh take some ref's from jeff bridges robe on how to get a cloth look.

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

haha, not sure which "era" of tron i'm shooting for in terms of lighting. probably more the current generation. i went with green because although the circuitry is supposed to reprisent a programs allegience, Links colours are typically green. and i want to keep some of his original character in the redesign.

pointy ears alone, do not a link make.

and yeah, Flynn was badass.

Mask_Salesman · Mar 2011

Yeah I'd keep the green.

Digital Cantina · Mar 2011

If this link doesnt have some sort of "disk" I will be very disapointed. Also may I suggest a different shade of green? Something like what clu had in the proof-of-concept trailer for tron legacy

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

in the pic i did earlier, i envisioned Links disc being his means of "spawning" his shield. his sword will likely be based on the baton weapons they use on the grid, although modified to look like the master sword.

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

Digital Cantina · Mar 2011

More of this.

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

starting to settle on the direction i want to take the armour. trying to make the circuitry eminate from the identity disc, it's actually really difficult haha.

gwad · Mar 2011

Very good coming, i like your idea and choice .

CJE · Mar 2011

Nice progress. It would be neat if you could figure out a way to incorporate his trademark hat into your design, to really bring out the character.

^ This.

Great start though.

Emil Mujanovic · Mar 2011

You could even potentially use the Polycount green :P
R: 54
G: 120
B: 60

Unfortunately it's not as neon as the green you've chosen though. But I do agree with definitely sticking to green.

Nauh · Mar 2011

Cool choice, suscribed.

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

dirty dirty mask paintover to see if i can get a better feel for it.

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

mock up of the chest plate with some post work in PS to demonstrate the level of glowy i'm aiming for.

DLoud · Mar 2011

I'm loving where this is going

Heavyj · Mar 2011

Awesome idea and work so far. One suggestion I'd say is to have the lines flow out of the triforce symbol like it's what is powering the suit or something like that. subscribed up.

Mask_Salesman · Mar 2011

lol yeah all ironman like. ^

This + Make the Symbol about 200% Larger, and give it like a nice indent.

leslievdb · Mar 2011

wow dude looks like you arn't wasting any time huh ^^

really like the layered chest plate so far

akacg · Mar 2011

That is a really cool start to the chest man nice work so far

boon · Mar 2011

Nice concept dude. Both TRON era's are iconic. Should be difficult to make a decision I think.

I think you should make the neon-lines thicker they are feeling to small. Maybe taking a look at TRON 2.0 is good for reference?

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

haha thanks guys. it's actually a pretty cool learning experience, i'm not all that great at hard surface stuff.
these straps almost had my ass kicked!

decided to use a lighter material for the screengrabs for a while. the black was good for visualising my end goal, but this probably helps show off the model a little better.

MESMURDA · Mar 2011

badass idea dude

Stertman · Mar 2011

nice work man! love the chest armor!

almighty_gir · Mar 2011

decided to at least try and work in his tunic... gonna see how well it fits the overall theme before i finalise it. will do some work on arms/legs tomorrow.
