Write about the success of this work, explain.
The lines at work are all curved to show where the puzzle fits together. And the movie Tron the
old one is all about lines. So ergo this artwork is all about lines and I dont want to elaborate.
The only colors you need in Tron are red and blue with slight variations like orange and green
but so far the main colors are red and blue.
The picture is balanced because it has opposite teams competing for a victory and they both
share an equal portion of the picture.
This picture is a tribute to the Movie TRON! Which was AWESOME! And the
more recent verson with all its special effexts isnt as cool.
I like Tron in case I forgot to mention that. And thats all that I have to
say.
