I’m so happy to see all these comments about people currently watching Twin Peaks! I didn’t know people were watching it :D
I’m old, so I watched it when it was on tv. Are you guys old fans like me, or young people watching it for the first time?
Meringue_utan OP t1_j9lbs0i wrote
I was 15 when TP came out in the UK. Old enough to be put under her spell. 32 years later, she's still got me.

God yes.
My poor boyfriend, lol. Every time we watch, he has to listen to me talk about how incredibly beautiful she is. I just can’t look at her without marveling over how unreal she is.

I didn't catch it when I aired, but Amazon hooked it up. Possibly.aome of the BEST TV I've ever watched. Acting, scene comp and a compelling story.
I'm just happy it ended when it did.
KellyJoyCuntBunny t1_j9m0ytp wrote
Yeah, you know, I see the wisdom in the way some series are handled these days, where from the beginning they plan to have a limited amount of seasons. The idea that every tv show or series has to go on for as long as possible and that that’s the measure of success doesn’t really work for everything. Maybe Twin Peaks would’ve worked well with that kind of structure- like, “here’s the story we want to tell, and here’s how we’re going to structure it, and then it’ll be a complete thing.” I can see that.
Isn’t it grand, though‽ I agree- screen composition, compelling story, great characters, and just so perfectly itself. I’ve watched it an absurd amount of times.
neverjustahat t1_j9l9q4z wrote
Oh this is actually my second time through. The Alamo Drafthouse is showing Fire Walk With Me on the 24th this month and I was rewatching the series before going to see it! Super happy to see it on the big screen.
KellyJoyCuntBunny t1_j9lavld wrote
Oooh, that sounds really fun! I’m wildly jealous. That theater sounds really cool
neverjustahat t1_j9lkrmh wrote
Oh it is! Alamo plays new movies but it also does showings of old stuff all the time. Like a couple months ago I got to see the old Friday 13th in 3D. It was incredible. And the best part about the theater is, for most showings, there's a no talking policy. (I promise I'm not a shill for Alamo Drafthouse lol!) Yeah, but I haven't watched the new season of Twin Peaks yet, so after this I'm gonna give it a go. Have you watched The Return yet?
KellyJoyCuntBunny t1_j9lsv8o wrote
I was wondering if it was distracting in there! I wasn’t aware of the theater, so I had a quick google, and I noticed that they server food and have little tables and stuff. I noticed they say that you pass the waiter your order in a slip of paper, so I figured the rule was “no talking.” That’s really flippin cool!
There used to be a movie theater in Reno, when I lived there 30 years ago as a teenager (holy shit, I’m getting old, lol. I’ve never said “when I lived there 30 years ago” before😂) that had these great velvet loveseats, little cafe tables, and allowed drinking and smoking and food. I smoked at the time, so my friends and I were in heaven! We felt very sophisticated, lol
I have watched The Return! My man and I binged it when it first came out, and recently did a rewatch, spreading the episodes out over about a week. It’s different. Less lighthearted wonky Twin Peaksie stuff, I felt like. But I enjoyed it way more the second time through, once I didn’t have the expectations/assumptions that I went into it with the first time. I’d like to watch it again soon, actually.
You’re planning to watch it soonish? Do you have any ideas about what it’s like and what you expect from it?
neverjustahat t1_j9ltwlf wrote
Yeah I'm gonna start it right after the movie (this weekend) I was hoping for more of the same cuz I love Twin Peaks exactly how it is. I have heard from fans of the show that it holds up to the original but, yeah, have sort of avoided too many full critiques or descriptions of it cuz it had been a while since I watched the original and I wanted to do a rewatch before watching the return.
KellyJoyCuntBunny t1_j9lz6eh wrote
Hope I didn’t add to the list of stuff you don’t want to know before you can see for yourself! Sorry about that, if I did :/
I hope you enjoy it! I love Twin Peaks so much, and I’m always happy to see a reference to it out in the world. Isn’t this drawing OP did just lovely‽
Let me know, if you’re so inclined, how The Return goes for you and how your viewing of FWWM in that amazing theater is. :D
neverjustahat t1_j9ma4c1 wrote
No you didn't spoil it at all! Yeah I cant wait to watch! Will do!
tonyhasareddit t1_j9l87ta wrote
I was only about 4 or 5 when it first aired, but I was introduced to it when I was about 20, and I’ve watched it and FWWM at least once every couple years since.
KellyJoyCuntBunny t1_j9laek7 wrote
That’s so awesome.
What did you think of The Return?
tonyhasareddit t1_j9m12se wrote
I loved it! I was worried about how they would pull it off but I think it was really well done.
KellyJoyCuntBunny t1_j9m45bn wrote
I’m glad you liked it! It was well done, wasn’t it‽
I was a little offended by one aspect though. It’s completely unfair of David Lynch to hold up a mirror to his audience (me) and illustrate how undeniable aging is. If I have to see Bobby and Audrey as middle aged, what’s next?? I have to confront that I myself am rounder and less epidermically vibrant than I was 25 years ago?? It’s bullshit! 😠

She was soo beautiful during Twin Peaks phase, currently on season 2, but it kinda sucks, so many episodes 🥱
AphexTwins903 t1_j9knhyb wrote
The last 10 episodes beat the whole of season 1 imo. The climax is insane
banjomin t1_j9kqw6g wrote
I’d agree that the very last episode is gold, but I think the general consensus is that after the reveal and Lynch’s departure, the quality took a nose-dive and only pulled up for the finale.
AphexTwins903 t1_j9ksuwd wrote
Huh, i had no idea Lynch had left by that point. Maybe I'm in the minority who really enjoyed that season 2 arc then. It was a little cheesy at times with the beauty pagent and all, but i found Earle to be a sinister villain topping Frank Booth from Lynch's Blue Velvet. Far stranger and creepy with his overall plans.
BunnyBabe96 t1_j9kzt2w wrote
It’s not that theyre definitively bad, but they lose all the meta-narrative because David didnt like to explain it to anyone, and he was the only one on the staff at the time that understood how everything fit together. Without him the dream falls apart

He seems like a fantastic visionary that's equally fantastically difficult to work with

There is a huge lull in the middle when they didn’t let David Lynch do his thing, but it gets better. Definitely recommend watching Fire Walk With Me before starting season 3!

offmytinychest t1_j9mc498 wrote
The series was made in the early 90s, so it's refreshingly old fashioned in some ways, with little tech. You might be able to purchase the DVD set, if you have a player or computer that can play DVDs. But keep your bliss!

justsayink_ t1_j9m0o5o wrote
beautiful piece. I struggle with backgrounds, and love this soft hazy look. May I ask how it was achieved?
Meringue_utan OP t1_j9m3r6y wrote
Hey, thank you. Do you mean the background of the piece? It's just a rough paper texture/image I found on a random texture site. I like to recreate a sketchbook look. Just the subject, little else.
I guess the soft hazy look was helped by the fact the reference is a grab from 90s quality video, so there's little definition.
I also tuned up the contrast on the reference to bring out the darks more, and lose details to shadow.
I spent a good chunk of time blocking in darks, blending a bit, then going back in with darks, the same way you do with real charcoal. So you get a mix of smokey effect, but with some definition.
Check out Jeff Haines demo videos. He uses this technique, block in, blend it right down, go back in.
I've learned everything I use in digital painting and drawing from traditional medium oil and charcoal tutorials. I don't use all the bells and whistles of the software. Just a couple of brushes, one layer, nice and simple. (I do use the liquify tool to fine tweak the super subtle details I'm the eyes etc)
Check out Lane Brown's demos too.
justsayink_ t1_j9mm9vm wrote
yes, i was referring to the rough paper texture, but the blending definitely ads to the effect. Thanks so much for your detailed reply

New_girl2022 t1_j9mppcw wrote
I loved her character in twin peaks. Always craving for attention was the trope she followed. She in a sence represents how her dad was too focused on his work and taking advantage of people to truly enjoy life. She represents the joy of life craving for attention.
Also that is very well done whoever drew it.
frupp110 t1_j9mv3at wrote
I see a lot of art on Reddit and it’s all very “predictably” good, if that makes sense. But, I have to say as a former artist, your depiction here is perfect. It’s an effortless reflection of a memory. She exists in the wind. Gorgeous.

Honestly, that wasn''t my intention with this. Your point is fair, at the same time the actress had this look for quite a while, and looked just like this in shoots/interviews at the time. If you check my many portrait posts I've never done a single piece of fan art. I just wanted a reference with a 50's look and remembered how much she resonated. Your carving is exquisite btw..

Perfection is the enemy of mastery. Just learn one thing at a time. Start with proportions. Move on to light and dark. You should be able to create a semi-recognisable portrait with next to no details. Only when you've got to that stage do you move into any detailing at all.
You'll learn a lot more doing lots of fast exercises, than trying to create a master piece. Finish sooner, and you'll accelerate faster
