Description I miss this series so much! It was one of the most beautiful, well-written, glorious rendered pieces of animation that this decade has ever seen. I seriously resent Disney for pulling the plug on the magnificence of this series and so I've been working on this tribute piece for MONTHS. (Mainly because I've been horribly busy with other stuff).

This is the second-ever all-digital piece I've ever made, so I used a different technique, building Beck and Paige up using flat vector shapes and then shading them as I went. Even the background, which took me a good few weeks to do, was built piece-by-piece using this technique. I may have been driven slightly insane, but I'm rather proud of the final result of this piece overall.

Let me know what you think!

This is beautiful!! Gosh, TRON: Uprising was amazing! As a fan of the general francise, I looked forward to it so much when it was released! I hated the fact that it eventually just... stopped. I loved the story, and found the animation style it used absolutely beautiful! Disney Channel in general is very disappointing these days, and the only reason I'm not completely disillusioned with it is for some of the animations on the Disney XD channel, like Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, and the Marvel-related shows (also, there seems to be a cool new Star Wars spin-off animated series? Star Wars Rebels or something?). But I wish they'd continued with TRON: Uprising, at least for the fans. It might've even gained the viewership it deserved over time.

TRON was sheer perfection, I was so sad when it was 'hiatused'. (Yup, it never even got to the end of Season 1). Rebels is fantastic, as is Wonder Over Yonder and Star vs The Forces of Evil (pure brilliance!) and I adore Gravity Falls.

Awesome! But I feel like Beck's elbow should be behind Paige's arm instead of the other way around.

Actually, you have a point there! Thanks!

This. This is absolute perfection. The shapes, the shading, everything about this just works so well for the TRON franchise. Love it.

I like what you did with Beck's face...only partially shown, and clearly enjoying himself.

Well, it IS Paige after all... The guy's not all that shy about how he feels... But thank you!

I love this show so much, It's probably the most goddamn beautiful animated series iv ever seen, Disney really dropped the ball by putting it on XD which much less people have rather than the regular Disney channel, it had way less viewers that it could of had.

What killed me though is that it never even ended... We never got to see the final episodes!

Yes, I read so
Now you must refine and streamline the process and then have someone look over your shoulder and show you the short cuts (but only after you finished the whole next picture!)

Of course... Hahaha! Man, I WISH I could actually see how the BG artists did that... Sym-bionic Titan and Gravity Falls are easier to figure out, but Tron... That stuff's just wow!

Think Beck's elbow is suppose to be out of view, otherwise cool piece
