Third Rail Thrills No. 59 – Quorra [Tron Legacy]
TRDL 2011 Series, No. 34

This was based on a sketch done by Mahasiddha for the#DailySketchChallenge, on DA. His was a page of loose sketches but this pose really struck me so I did a homage to it using the same character. I haven’t seen the movie, but I’m all about Olivia Wilde in a black bob with glowy bits, so yay me.

You can read more about the process on this pic after the jump…

OK here’s that original sketch. Man I love the exaggerated, loose, sexy form here.

These are the three pics I used for costume reference. It’s deceptively challenging to get right…

Process:

Here’s my original pencils. They were pretty close to my vision for the complete piece, except I was too stylized in the face and her eyes are too far apart.

2quoink Third Rail Thrills 59   Quorra [Tron Legacy]
Inks. I knew the face would have changes, so I figured I’d wait for the render to play with it. After this point, I abandoned the LEVEL UP reference…

I started with skin and hair. On this one her hair and the suit would be very close in tone, though neither are black in my case.

Here’s the body suit basic colors. Very closely matched. But not the same!

Here’s a shot of the highlights on the suit. I love an ink black, featureless silhouette form in comic art, such as the original black costume Spider-Man… but I don’t do it often.

The hand was an error. I noticed it while inking, hence the note to myself about it. Here, I cut and flipped it just to see, but no. It would need to to be redrawn with the thumb forward.

Here we have the digital hand, clutching that ring weapon. I’ve also done all the white striping and glows.

Finally, some detail work on her smokey eyeliner and some facial proportion correction.

Hope you enjoyed it!
