I saw my first Masquerade at Penguicon 1.0, in April 2003. I decided that that looked like fun, and I wanted to do something like it. I'd idly pondered a TRON costume in the past, and this seemed like the perfect venue for it, being a cross between a Linux and SF con.
I saw lots of TRON costumes on the net, and wasn't satisfied with any of them. The biggest deficiency was that none of them attempted to capture the green tint of the characters' outfits in the computer world. Yes, I know that was added in the digital animation process, but, still, a white costume just doesn't look right. Many of them also used black for the circuit patterns, one more step away from the costumes the viewer saw in the movie.
I decided I could do better, at least to my own way of thinking. This is not a slam on those who have gone before by any means, just an observation that I could resolve what I saw as deficiencies.
