Hi, I'm Nathan, but more known on the internet as Shriker. I've joined this community a long while ago while I was making a not so prototype Tron Legacy Identity Disc. Tron and Star Wars are my main favorites, and fairly recently been getting pretty good at 3d modeling and design, with my actual Prototype being completely made from scratch by me.
A year or two ago, ever since I saw the first Tron when I was young I've been obsessed, started with me making my own Tron costume with that old glow in the dark puffy fabric glue, and using a gray bike helmet i painted the lines onto it as well. this was when i was about 8. after that ive tried other things like creating helmets from cardboard, balloons and paper mache, and using foamcore to make swords.
when i got older ive discovered other ways to make things, such as eva foam floor mats, a heat gun and contact cement to make costumes and even more helmets. unfortunately, most of those things didnt survive, and since i moved to a new place, i decided to start fresh.
2010 came and Tron legacy was my favorite movie of all time. i got a Spinmaster Tron Disc for my birthday. and have loved playing with that thing since day one.
in 2016 was my first time paying someone for a commission, and it was of my beloved tron disc. unfortunately, during shipping back it got warped and cracked, tried the best i could to fix it up, but i was never satisfied with it. during this time i was going into another hobby, so all cosplay stuff turned into a furry endeavor. but that was short lived as due to that community changing into a more toxic and unsafe place to hangout in, in 2019 i decided to drop out of that community and stay adrift, occasionally poking my head in.
2021 comes and ive started to gain an interest back into my tron disc, but i couldnt just buy a spinmaster disc anymore, so i came up with an idea for a tron disc that ticks all the boxes in terms of functionality. i founded a small group of designers that started making the basis for this proposed prop.
we made one working prototype, but due to conflicting ideas and misunderstandings, we fell adrift leaving me with the disc design.
a few months later i decided to try again, and this is where i am right now.
eventually i want to make a full costume from tron legacy, and a mando helmet here and there too.
