Tron: Legacy (2010)
Gem
It's yet another "Tron: Legacy" (2010) Quick Paint, this time for Gem (who may or may not be a hard-light hologram... [Insert "Jem and the Holograms" pun here]. She was another character that compelled my attention when she was on screen--something striking about her appearance... or, maybe it was just the contrast of the white costume with the dark backgrounds of The Arena. Again, nothing to do with a skin-tight catsuit with glow sticks on it.
I am hesitant to call this one a "Quick Paint", as this one took a bit more time, but here we are (alas, whenever I start with something like this, the first one is a couple-a-few hours, and then the amount of time begins to increment up and almost doubles and doubles again, etc.). Also, it didn't help that I had to do a lot of back-and-forth to get everything in the correct proportions. I was guilty of rushing the layout so I could get on with the fun of the painting the character, Gem, but then spent a lot of time just fixing the proportions I should have corrected before I started getting serious on the actual Digital Painting. Ah, well.
And, yes, I broke out the Light Pen just to use the Light Pen for the sake of it being a "Tron" pic.

STEP ONE: Here is the quick layout, done in Procreate on a 2,000px x 3,000px canvas @ 300dpi, done in Procreate with a Conte Brush.

STEP TWO: And here it is a little further along.

STEP THREE: And the finished pic, for better or worse. I did some Adjustment Layers in Procreate, and then a slight color correction in Photoshop to warm up the colors a little bit more. The color looked good in Procreate, but were nearly absolutely blue on my other screen (it's not color calibrated or anything fancy like that).

Done digitally in Procreate on an iPad (with a slight assist from Photoshop for some minor color correction).
