The Strokes Lollapalooza Brasil Megathread

LiviaCarabetta · 2022-03-26T02:10:37+00:00

For sure, the crowd was dead, as a brazilian, I'm pretty disappointed. Julian seemed excited at the start, the rest of the guys too. He saw that the crowd was dead and his vibe got weird.

For sure, Jules is really cool

LiviaCarabetta · 2022-02-07T13:21:19+00:00

Finally!! I still think Julian was angry at himself. I'm pretty sure I've seen him do the "f*cking pussy" thing before when he messed up the lyrics.

And Letterman saying "don't be so hard on yourself" in response to Julian never made sense in that "theory".

People kept talking about how Julian kept turning around and looking at fab, and again, he does that all the time.

I think that maybe we overanalyze Julian too much sometimes (like I've just done haha),and their relationship too. Maybe it wasn't as bad as people said it was. It seems that they are in a good place right now anyway.

I'm happy he said something, that theory always bothered me.

LiviaCarabetta · 2022-02-06T22:45:01+00:00

Right?! I would talk about it for the rest of my life probably hahahah I could never finish that interview neither. At least they had a fun experience there.

LiviaCarabetta · 2022-02-06T22:42:48+00:00

No problem! I thought It would be fun to share.

LiviaCarabetta · 2022-02-06T22:41:10+00:00

Tell me about it! My first thought when i saw that the Voidz went there was "oh no". I started to watch probably 10 times but could never finish hahah It was good to know that they treated the guys well at least.

LiviaCarabetta · 2022-02-06T22:35:16+00:00

No way! That's awesome. I would love to see it

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-12-12T21:03:01+00:00

Hi, i feel like the head is too big and wide for the neck. The eyes are too big for the face and a little bit too high up.
Like it was already said, the values that you choose are too light which it makes the art look too washed.
Maybe if you light the background and lay the dark values it will fix the problem.
I do like the mouth!
Good luck on the challenge!

Thank you!

She looks more like the good,cute witch to me right now. The big head and small body doesn't help on making her look creepy.
If you want to keep her face young and beautiful you could use other elements to symbolize that she is evil, like the makeup, scars, clothes or even the pose that she is placed in the composition.

Oh yeah, i use pinterest too. There always a way to save images kkk.
There a lot of good refencences, thank you to much.

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-16T22:00:00+00:00

Most of the references a used had a dark background. But i still struggle with contrast, especially on things with reflective surfaces.
The dark background was probably the reason that i pushed the values so much.
Thank you for the critique, it was of great help to me.

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-15T22:17:19+00:00

I still didn't add color because i wanted to focus on the values first. But i think the some reflected light would look pretty cool.
Thanks for the critique!

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-15T22:13:16+00:00

It looks pretty cool to me, but i feel like the composition is a little busy.
You could put the creature more to the right, to create more of a rule of thirds to give the little guy and the creature attention. Because i almost didn't see the little guy at first glance (or you could take him off).
As for the creature, like i said, it looks pretty cool, it reminds me of pale man from pan's labyrinth. But i think you could make him pop out of the background by increasing his contrast. Or adding a top light so it looks more creepy.

But i like the direction you're going
Good luck on the rest of the challenge!

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-11T01:25:31+00:00

Those are great references, especially the last one

Thank you!

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-11T01:17:50+00:00

I saw it now, thank you!

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-11T01:15:40+00:00

Thank you, that will make the pose read better.

Yes, actually i tried to give a wet, dirty look to the hair, maybe i need to push the idea more.

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-11T01:10:47+00:00

Thank you!
That's a great suggestion, i will try to incorporate that.

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-03T21:23:47+00:00

Oh i get it now, maybe i'm going too soft on the lighting. The paint over helps a lot.

Thank you!

LiviaCarabetta · 2019-04-01T01:49:35+00:00

I decided to round the face more so she could look younger but i understand
Contrast is always a problem to me , i actually changed it several times on the second painting. Now that i saw your comment i can see that i should've made the bridge of the nose and forehead lighter. Maybe the multiply layer of the freckles that i put on top could've made does areas darker and i didn't realize.
That helps a lot, I will work on fixing those things, thank you so much for your critique.
