favorite goncharov character

Goncharov! Holy shit I haven't thought about Goncharov in YEARS!

I remember seeing it at the Vista theatre downtown in ... I want to say 1983? It was either 82 and I was 10, or 83 and I was 11. Now that I think about it, it must have been Spring of 83. I remember that Kimmy Mendini was my babysitter, and she drove my friend Ahmed and me all the way downtown to see Goncharov. She would have been at least 16, but I feel like she was a little older. I remember that she LOVED movies and just never stopped talking about European cinema.

Ha! I can still her her sort of roll "Cinema" out of her mouth. Movies were for the masses to watch, while sophisticated adults experienced Cinema. I'm just realizing now that she absolutely pronounced it with a capital C. She was like "you are so lucky to see a clean print of Goncharov!"

I had no idea what a clean print was, but I understood it was important and impressive.

She had read about this screening in the LA Weekly, which I didn't know at the time was TREMENDOUSLY subversive in our suburban part of Los Angeles County, and we were going to an old theatre in maybe not the greatest part of town, but Kimmy had been watching me since I was in second grade and was like my big sister. I knew we'd be safe with her.

That old theatre (which is now a fucking swap meet) was just so beautiful inside. 100 foot ceilings, box seats, gold paint and murals. It felt like a place you went to experience Cinema, but, like ... it had absolutely seen better days. I remember that I felt kind of bad for the place, a little embarrassed, like when I got a good grade and accidentally made eye contact with a friend who got a D.

Okay. This clearly hit a memory artery, and I appreciate you staying with me this far, when we finally get to the fireworks factory. We're walking up to the box office, and she tells Ahmed and me that we have to wait on the sidewalk, because *technically* it's rated R, and she's not our legal guardian, but what does this guy making two bucks an hour know about art anyway?

So we wait. She buys the tickets, and then we all walk in as casually as we can.

I remember how scared I was that we were going to get caught and they'd call the cops (that's how it worked in my anxiety-ridden brain), but literally nobody cared. The theatre wasn't even half full, and everyone there was a dude at least as old as my parents.

You know the story, so I don't have to recount all of it, but I can at this very moment remember how shocked I was when Bruno was shot. This was the first time, ever, I had felt an emotional connection to a character. I didn't cry when Bambi's mother was shot, I didn't cry when ET died, I didn't cry E V E R.

But when Bruno died? I didn't make a sound. I just silently wept. Tears just poured down my face and I wanted to roll back time, rewrite the movie, and get him out of that room.

I obviously understand now, all these years later why I connected to him and why his story meant and means so much to me, but at the time I had no idea. I just thought the actors were that good.

I can't believe that guy who played him died so young. I think he was like 40? I remember thinking that was old. Now I know different.

When the movie was over, Kimmy asked us how we liked it. Ahmed was obsessed with the photography (he grew up to be an illustrator), and I obviously had my Bruno Moment.

We got Thrifty ice cream on the way home and listened to Donna Summer in her Datsun.

I haven't thought about Goncharov or Cinema or Kimmy in FOREVER. Leave it to Tumblr to boost my nostalgia check to a natural 20.

tl;dr: Bruno. I know he's supposed to be that character we all hate, and there are so many valid reasons for that. But when I was 12 ... well, I was a different person.

Oh! And now that I know what a "clean print" is, having seen so many "dirty prints" in revival houses before they all turned into swap meets or churches (hey, two places where people sell you stuff and take your money!), I retroactively appreciate it in a way that would make Kimmy happy.

Thanks for the trip into the crumbling mall that is my childhood memories. I haven't been here in awhile and it was nice to visit.

Mando's Lover?

Pairing: Pedro Pascal x Actress!reader

Summary: The Mandalorian interview but why are you included? (read to find out 😉)

Date: August 2019

Taglist: @benonlinear, @t-stark35, @heyitsme-2, @elleeeee21, @holmesstrange, @tagakalat, @flyestvenustrap, @oldermenaremyreligion, @cherryred444, @avengersheart, @guacala, @pukka-latte, @hobiismyhopeu, @lilvampirina, @ilovehotdadsandshit

A/N: AAAAA we're almost entering my favourite part of the series, but, I might post some throwbacks before we head to that though so stay tuned and like always, enjoy!! also kind of a late post but you know. hehe

Series Masterlist

The pair are seen on the red carpet during this year’s D23 Expo on The Mandalorian, which was to be released three months from now.

“Ok I'm gonna recreate your reaction to-being-casted celebration,” the interviewer, Ash, said as she shook hands with Pedro. She recreated his celebratory reaction making Pedro watch as she continued.

“That’s right. It was- it was a three-act event react play. Yeah, it was like “Oh thank you thank you”.. pass out,” He said also reenacting with an exaggerated crying look on his face, clearly having fun at what was happening.

She brings the mic closer to her to ask him her second question, “But can you walk me through actually finding out you were cast as The Mandalorian.” Pedro who was once looking at her intently, turned to look downwards remembering how that day went.

“Well I got a call and the actual words were “Jon Favreau wants to talk to you about something Star Wars” and so I said absolutely and I went out to meet him at his offices in Playa Vista and he invited me into a room where he introduced me to Dave Filoni and in this room, it was wall-to-wall, immaculate illustrations of this series which is everything Star Wars-”

He continues to share his precious moments before the final revelation, “-And so being a Star Wars fan myself I was like, “oh what’s this” and “oh I remember that” and “what are you gonna do here” and “what do you want me to do?”” Pedro rambles on about asking them what creature, robot, or whatever role they wanted him to audition for before taking a deep breath.

“-and they looked confused and basically pointed to the- this incredible like silhouette of The Mandalorian. He said you’re the, you’re The Mandalorian. So yeah that’s why I- that’s why I sort of died inside of joy.”

Nodding at his response Ash looks at him,” Who was the first person you ever told when you got the job? Since the role became like a very important one for you.”

Scratching the back of his neck, “Well, y/n was picking me up from Jon’s place, so naturally, I told her fir-actually, I freaked out on her. I kept blabbering on things I can’t even remember you know, it must be the adrenaline I felt at that moment. And then- just then did I call my sister, who is a big Star Wars fan, saying how I’m a part of the huge franchise that she loves and now we’ve done and are about to release the first season, it makes me really happy.” Ending his response with a content smile.

“How could you not? I mean, you mentioned you were a Star Wars fan, so what’s your earliest Star Wars memory? Do you remember like-“ Ash inquired once again, wanting to know more about him and his experience as an interviewer.

Pedro enthusiastically blurted out,” I saw Star Wars- I saw episode four in the movie theatre. I was very young so I don’t remember the experience of being in the theatre for it as well as I do the empire strikes back which is burned into my childhood imagination and I remember like three attempts to get tickets for return of the Jedi and getting my heart broken every time because it was sold out, and then finally getting the tickets and literally you know like staring at the poster being like I’m finally seeing this movie so it was highly present in my childhood. All the toys you know and all the stories yeah.”

“And now you’re in it,” Ash said, seemingly into his history with Star Wars.

Agreeing with her, “And now I’m in it. it’s weird, leading the series”

“Now, back to being an avid Star Wars watcher. What was your reaction when you were first introduced to your now-girlfriend, Y/n L/n, who played the character Sabe in the phantom menace?"

Pedro looks at her with a look that he knows what she was up to and decides to keep it short, "Yeah well like I knew it was her when we first met but I didn’t like barging into her space telling her that I’ve watched her in Star Wars and loved it because that would be weird coming from this guy you’ve never met before. But now, I can say that we’re now also together in another galaxy."

"Did you ever think you would ever meet her in person or like be with her all those years ago?"

Crossing his arms, thinking for a moment, "I didn’t really well- but to start it off I didn’t even think I would be able to meet her in any way, since she was like in the spotlight already at such a young age so I didn’t really think about it. That was until we got introduced that is and it was one of the best moments in my life," finishing it off with a shy smile.

“That’s sweet, do you think we’ll ever see Y/n as part of your series, The Mandalorian?”

“Good question but we haven’t thought about it really. But with the number of times she’s been on set they should’ve made a character just for her don’t you think?” Pedro said laughing. “Last question, what role from The Mandalorian would you think y/n would fit in if she were to be cast?” she quickly stated as their time's almost up.

Pedro gave her a teasing knowing look, “Ummm Mando’s lover, no I'm joking. But maybe someone in the ranks, probably not a Mandalorian cause she'll look-" he makes a tiny sign from his hands, laughing at himself, "-wearing the armour. Maybe a Jedi, we don’t know really, she can play herself actually. She’ll take whatever they give her.”

Hello love. Anything new on Jensen?

Hello Anon thank you for the ask. I know that Jensen's been awful quiet about the stuff he's said to be working on with the "if things go as planned, it's gonna be a busy year" comments he's made in recent months. I know I speculated on another post when someone here on Tumblr posted about a photo where Jensen was spotted with Justin Hartley, his wife Sofia and a man named Jason Checcini that he may be on his way to go film The Boys, which reportedly started filming April 8 according to this site (although we all know that filming dates can be pushed back). This post was made April 7, 2024.

However, after seeing another post that posted today April 18, 2024, I do believe that he may not only possibly be filming The Boys season 5 but he may have also landed a role on Justin Hartley's show Tracker. Tracker reportedly films some in the Vancouver area, according to IMBD.

Being who I am, I decided to look up the tour dates for the artist she mentioned seeing in her post where she says she met him in Vancouver. According to Ticketmaster.com, the tour dates for Noah Kahan are as follows:

What cities will Noah Kahan play on his upcoming tour? The We'll All Be Here Forever Tour will take Noah Kahan across North America in the following cities: 03/26 – Vancouver, BC @ Rogers Arena 03/28 – Calgary, AB @ Scotiabank Saddledome 03/29 – Edmonton, AB @ Rogers Place 03/30 – Saskatoon, SK @ SaskTel Centre 04/02 – Winnipeg, MB @ Canada Life Centre 04/06 – Toronto, ON @ Scotiabank Arena 04/07 – London, ON @ Budweiser Gardens 04/09 – Ottawa, ON @ Canadian Tire Centre 04/10 – Quebec, QC @ Centre Videotron 04/13 – Montreal, QC @ Centre Bell 04/14 – Toronto, ON @ Scotiabank Arena 04/16 – Toronto, ON @ Scotiabank Arena 05/20 – Asheville, NC @ Harrah’s Cherokee Center 05/22 – Asheville, NC @ Harrah’s Cherokee Center 05/24 – Nashville, TN @ Bridgestone Arena 05/25 – Nashville, TN @ Bridgestone Arena 05/28 – Cuyahoga Falls, OH @ Blossom Music Center 05/29 – Burgettstown, PA @ The Pavilion at Star Lake 06/04 – St. Louis, MO @ Hollywood Casino Amphitheater – St. Louis, MO 06/05 – Bonner Springs, KS @ Azura Amphitheater 06/07 – Saint Paul, MN @ Xcel Energy Center 06/08 – Saint Paul, MN @ Xcel Energy Center 06/11 – Dallas, TX @ Dos Equis Pavilion 06/13 – Woodlands, TX @ The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion presented by Huntsman 06/14 – Austin, TX @ Moody Center 06/18 – Chula Vista, CA @ North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre 06/21 – Hollywood, CA @ Hollywood Bowl 06/29 – George, WA @ Gorge Amphitheatre 07/01 – Ridgefield, WA @ RV Inn Style Resorts Amphitheater 07/03 – Wheatland, CA @ Toyota Amphitheatre 07/05 – Berkeley, CA @ Greek Theatre - UC Berkeley 07/06 – Berkeley, CA @ Greek Theatre – UC Berkeley 07/09 – West Valley City, UT @ USANA Amphitheatre 07/13 – East Troy, WI @ Alpine Valley Music Theatre 07/15 – New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden 07/16 – New York, NY @ Madison Square Garden 07/18 – Boston, MA @ Fenway Park 07/19 – Boston, MA @ Fenway Park

As you can see, the Vancouver concert took place on Tuesday March 26, 2024. The photo post with Justin Hartley, his wife and Jason was posted on Sunday April 7, 2024. Remember, this is just me speculating at this point along with everyone else but I do think it's possible Jensen has gotten a couple roles or is at the very least spending some time in Canada "networking". That's really all I have for you at the moment Anon but I hope this is at least somewhat useful or some interest to you otherwise.

- Pitch 5.3

This sequence does a lot to really put things in perspective for Victoria in the early phase of Ward

1. It shows how eager she is to grasp to anything reminding her of the “good old days” where she had some measure of innocence and the belief that she had a bright future, trying to preserve them with care and affection as much as possible, even though they aren’t 1:1 the same. Because if she can preserve SOME good in her life, she can remain “whole”.

2. It shows how directly opposite this makes her in comparison to Carol, who removes any reminder of the better days in favor of… nothing. It had just become an empty room that was just THERE now, her hopes and dreams for the future of her children gone. However, rather tellingly, she doesn’t send any of these items to Victoria within the Asylum, despite her daughter clearly wanting them.

3. It expands on New Wave’s station in Brockton Bay, financially. Manpower is mentioned as spoiling Victoria with gifts, juxtaposed with Victoria being excited about earning 2k dollars around the time she was 17 (for reference, had I not paid for EMT/College courses, I would have made nearly 4k when I was 18, in a year or so working at a movie theatre).

What makes this so interesting that the last we hear about Manpower, he has no job, in fact it’s implied that the reason New Wave struggled so much financially (see: Arc 2) was because Carol was the one whom supported both families with her job + donations made by the city to their team.

3.5. When this is juxtaposed to Taylor earning that same amount of money in one meeting with the Undersiders, it really puts into perspective that there does seem to be a huge wealth disparity between indie heroes and supervillains, or at the very least, between the donations New Wave accrued compared to the protection racket the Undersiders enforced + all the other payments made to them by Coil, and how that might further explain the growth of villainy in Earth Bet pre-GM.

4. Victoria planning on leaving the city to live with Dean (or as she put it, follow him), is interesting because there’s never really another character in the entire series that makes Victoria decide to alter her entire life around in order stay by their side. And yes, she’s 17, she’s in love, a lot of people can chalk it up to her simply not knowing better. Maybe.

But I think this is actually more of the peak of Victoria’s flaw in Ward, where she puts people onto pedestals and - in a sense - worships them. Vista, Yamada, Sveta, and Miss Militia are all characters that she highlights as the ideal heroes whom she aspires to be like, and each one fails in her eyes over the story to different degrees (and different degrees of fairness): Sveta is willing to kill people while under the Goddess influence (something that not even Vic was willing to do), Yamada broke her trust and detached from her nearly entirely, Miss Militia didn’t really give a shit when Victoria saved her Wardens from being murdered and stopped WW3, and Vista has murdered and allowed awful people to go free ala Defiant (it’s very telling that Sveta and Vista were ones that Victoria was willing to overlook, because they are tied into #1 point above, whereas Yamada’s breach of trust could not be salvaged).

Dean was all of them, but ramped up to 10. He was her soulmate. He was everything she wanted in a hero.

He died. And all she has are remnants and pieces that can never really live up to the hype in her mind. Not even Dean himself.

Continuação pt 2

SÃO FRANCISCO

Ficámos um total de 5 dias na Golden City, San Fran, the City by the Bay, Frisco, the Paris of the West, com todas as alcunhas ao nível desta cidade bem cool.

E não só cool da vibe que transmite mas também das temperaturas, que são bastante chilly, sobretudo depois dos desertos, com um nevoeiro quase constante, tão habitual que os são franciscanos o apelidaram de Karl, the fog.

São Francisco é de facto especial, com a icónica Golden Gate Bridge (que só conseguimos ver em 2 dos 5 dias quando o Karl deu tréguas), os típicos elétricos, as casas vitorianas coloridas, as ruas com inclinação +++ (de causar síndrome de atrito do tensor da fáscia lata a qualquer um que se atreva a subi-las - momento nerd, desculpa Pe), a famosa rua aos S Lombard Street, a baía com vista para Alcatraz, a Chinatown, a Japantown, o Mission District com a prevalente comunidade hispânica e os seus fantásticos murais, o Haight com as influências hippies dos anos 60, as ruas de Castro por onde se marcharam pelos direitos civis da comunidade LGBT e o melhor de tudo, uma forte adoração pela gastronomia e dedicação à arte da restauração, aspecto ainda não encontrado em nenhum outro sítio durante a viagem.

Adorámos mesmo esta cidade eclética e gostámos muito da comidinha, o famoso clam showder e as comidas asiáticas que comemos no bairro de Japantown onde estávamos hospedados no belíssimo hotel Majestic.

O nosso quarto, só tenho pena de não ter tirado fotografia a banheira de pés da nossa casa-de-banho majestosa.

Exemplos do Kiko contente por estarmos a comer bem em San Fran.

De destacar em São Francisco:

Fomos ver a restauração em 4k do icónico filme "Thelma & Louise" no não tão menos icónico cinema Castro Theatre. Foi uma experiência deliciosa ver numa sala tão bonita como aquela e repleta de cinéfilos que reagiam entusiasticamente a todas as piadas e cenas épicas do filme.

Fomos visitar a célebre prisão na ilha Alcatraz e foi muito interessante ouvir relatado pelos próprios prisioneiros e pelos guardas da altura como era a vida naquela prisão de alta segurança. O the Rock, como lhe chamavam, para onde eram enviados os mais terríveis criminosos, incluindo os que já tinham feito tentativas de fuga noutras prisões. A experiência incluí entrar dentro das minúsculas celas individuais e ainda mais aterrorizador nas celas da solitária, onde eram mantidos às escuras por dias, semanas e meses os que desobedeciam às regras da prisão. Ficámos também a saber das histórias das tentativas de fuga daquela que era considerada a prisão impossível de fugir, apenas 3 de 27 bem sucedidas, embora o paradeiro desses 3 nunca tenha sido descoberto e seja presumido que morreram afogados no barco que construíram com casacos de chuva que roubaram da lavandaria (fica a dica para verem o filme Escape from Alcatraz que conta a história destes 3 malandros que ficaram para a história que foram os únicos que conseguiram, sem ser detectados, chegar pelo menos às águas gélidas que circundam a ilha e de como executaram a brilhante fuga).

Mudança de planos, aqui no blog e na viagem.

Tínhamos inicialmente planeado visitar a ilha de Maui, no Hawaii, a seguir a São Francisco, plano que decidimos abortar pelos terríveis wildfires da região de Lahaina.

Decidimos então alugar um carro e nos 5 dias em que lá estaríamos descemos a costa de São Francisco até LA, onde passamos por Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, fizemos o Big Sur, ficamos em Santa Barbara e terminámos em Malibu e Venice Beach, novamente - trajecto que vos ia contar já hoje mas entretanto o homem já acordou e está na altura de ir visitar Oahu.

Fica aqui prometido então às 4 pessoas que estão a ler isto que voltarei para vos falar deste trecho da viagem e das duas semanas nas duas ilhas paradisíacas do Hawaii.

Obrigada por estarem desse lado,

os quase-casados-há 1 mês,

Lu e Kiko

Fortnite x Yoshitaka Amano, a collaboration that nobody talks about.

Fortnite x Yoshitaka Amano, una colaboración de la que nadie habla.

Opinión

It’s very probably that if you are a big fan of Final Fantasy saga, the name of Yoshitaka Amano sounds familiar to you, but if you don't know him, let me tell you a little about this great artist, of whom I consider myself a great fan.

Yoshitaka Amano (天野喜孝) is a Japanese visual artist, character designer, illustrator, a scenic designer for theatre and film, and a costume designer, throughout his career we can highlight the following works: Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D, Speed Racer, Gatchaman, Casshan, Guin Saga, which are the most important and recognized of his entire career.

Es muy probable que si eres un gran fan de saga Final Fantasy el nombre de Yoshitaka Amano te suene familiar, pero si no lo conoces, déjame hablarte un poco de este gran artista, del cual me considero una gran fan.

Yoshitaka Amano ( 天野嘉孝) es un artista, diseñador de personajes, de vestuario y teatro; ilustrador y escenografo japonés. A lo largo de su trayectoria podemos destacar a la saga Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D, Speed Racer, Gatchaman, Casshan, Guin Saga, entre otros; los cuales, son algunos de sus trabajos más importantes y reconocidos.

The art of Yoshitaka Amano is very special to me in many ways, it goes beyond having given life to many of my favorite characters from the Final Fantasy saga, such as Cecil or Terra.

When I was a little younger I began to be interested in the art that went behind a video game, in one way or another as a fan of Final fantasy I ended up encountering the art of Yoshitaka Amano, more than love at first sight I made an immediate connection with his art for only one reason…his art looks like my dreams, yes, the dreams I have when I sleep, all those colors, textures and level of detail in his works, it was as if he had entered my mind and said “I have I have seen your dreams and I have painted them” that is why his art is important to me.

El arte se Yoshitaka Amano es muy especial para mi de muchas maneras, va más allá de haberle dado vida a muchos de mis personajes favoritos de la saga Final Fantasy como lo son Cecil o Terra.

Cuando yo era un poco más joven comencé a interesarme por el arte que iba detrás de un videojuego, de alguna u otra forma como Fan de Final fantasy termine encontrándome con el arte de Yoshitaka Amano, más que amor a primeras vista hice una conexión inmediata con su arte por una sola razón…su arte se ve como mis sueños, sí, los sueños que tengo cuando duermo, todos esos colores, texturas y nivel de detalle en sus obras, era como si el hubiera entrado en mi mente y dijera “he visto tus sueños y los he pintado” es por ello que su arte para mi es importante.

Art by Yoshitaka Amano to Final Fantasy VI

His style is unmistakable, when I saw the leaks that morning, and saw the loading screen, I immediately said "This is the work of Mr. Yoshitaka Amano, it couldn't have been done by someone else" and I just went to investigate to check that he was correct.

They might say that every what's in-game loading screen made by an artist is some kind of collaboration between the artist and Fortnite, and that's right, but as I have said, for me Yoshitaka Amano is special in addition to his great career and his importance in the artistic field, such as cinema, painting, theater and video games.

Going back to the collaboration with Fortnite, It not only presented us with a sublime loading screen but also with gorgeous skin that has all the vibe of Yoshitaka's style, which definitely stands out from the rest with her unique design, and that vibrant red that contrasts with the pale skin of the character, also look at that face, I love it!

Su estilo es inconfundible, cuando vi las filtraciones esa mañana, y vi la pantalla de carga inmediatamente dije “Esto es obra del señor Yoshitaka Amano, no pudo haberlo hecho alguien más” y solo me metí a investigar para comprobar que estaba en lo correcto.

Puede que digan que cada pantalla de carga qué hay en el juego hecha por un artista es una especie de colaboración entre el artista y Fortnite, y eso es correcto pero como he dicho para mi Yoshitaka Amano es especial además de su gran trayectoria e importancia en el apartado artístico como lo es el cine, el teatro, la pintura y del gamining.

Regresando a la colaboración con Fortnite, no solo nos trajo una sublime pantalla de carga si no que también con una skin preciosa que tiene todo el vibe del estilo de Yoshitaka, que definitivamente resalta del resto con su diseño único, y ese rojo vibrante que contrasta con la piel pálida del personaje, además miren ese rostro, ¡me encanta!.

At some point I came to imagine what a collaboration between Fortnite & Yoshitaka Amano would look like? considering how many iconic characters that man has created, but I didn't think I'd get to see him and I'm really grateful for this collaboration. I think no one is as happy as me for this.

En algún punto llegue a imaginar ¿Cómo se vería una colaboración entre Fortnite con Yoshitaka Amano? tomando en cuenta la cantidad de personajes icónicos que ese hombre ha creado, pero no creí llegar a verlo y estoy realmente muy agradecida por esta colaboración. Creo nadie esta tan feliz como yo por esto.

My opinion of the adaptation

The skin is so beautiful, I love it and absolutely she has all the vibe of a Yoshitaka Amano´s design, but, if we make a comparison between the design that we see on the loading screen and the adaptation that was made as a Fortnite skin, I have a couple of observations:

►The first: The length of the hair does not seem to be correct, it also has a kind of reddish reflections that could easily be taken advantage of and used to make reactive skin

►Second: the sleeve that you can see in the design does not match the final result, it seems to have a kind of red lace that the Fortnite guys decide to omit, also on his hand he seems to have a ring that was completely omitted.

Third: the long socks, this one probably doesn't count at all since it could be the interpretation of the reflection of the clothes in the light but it may not and that the color really is white. So this wouldn't be so much of a problem but I still wanted to mention it.

Mi opinión sobre la adaptación:

La skin es hermosa y tiene todo el vibe de un diseño de Yoshitaka Amano, pero, si hacemos una comparación entre diseño que vemos en la pantalla de carga y adaptación que se hizo como skin de Fortnite tengo un par de observaciones:

La primera: El largo del cabello no parece ser el correcto, además tiene una especie de reflejos rojizos que fácilmente pudieron aprovecharse y usarse para hacer reactiva a la skin

Segundo: la manga se que puede ver en el diseño no coincide con la del resultado final, parece tener una especie de encaje rojo que los de Fortnite decidieron omitir. Además en la mano parece llevar un anillo que se omitió por completo.

Tercero: los calcetines largos: este es probable que no cuente del todo ya que podría ser la interpretación del reflejo de la ropa en la luz pero puede que no y que realmente el color realmente sea blanco. Así que este no seria tanto un problema pero de igual forma quería mencionarlo.

Do not take this last as hate, you know that I am super observant and it is only a comparison.

This last is just my personal opinion: I think that if I designed a skin for Fortnite, I would just like them to respect even the smallest detail. And as a fan I would have liked to see that reflected here. But it’s ok, with the collaboration is more than enough to make me happy.

Conclusion It's a collaboration that surely no one expected, especially because I follow Yoshitaka Amano on his social media and he never mention anything about it, but it made me very happy that it came, also I think that not many people will know that this is a collaboration, so I hope this post has served as a small introduction to this wonderful and talented artist.

Until the next post.

No se tomen esto ultimo como hate, saben que soy super observadora y solo es una comparativa.

Esto ultimo es solo mi opinión personal: creo que si yo diseñara una skin para Fortnite, a mi me gustaría que respetaran hasta el mas mínimo detalle. Y como fan me hubiese gustado ver eso reflejado aquí. Pero esta bien, con la colaboración es más que suficiente para hacerme feliz.

Conclusión

Es una colaboración que seguramente nadie esperaba, en especial porque sigo a Yoshitaka Amano en sus redes sociales y nunca menciono nada al respecto, pero me hizo muy feliz que llegara, además creo que no muchas personas van a saber que esta es una colaboración, así que espero que este post les haya servido como una pequeña introducción a este maravilloso y talentoso artista.

hasta el próximo post.
