My colours seem so much more vibrant on this paper than the Moleskine and it seems to handle watercolour so much better. And…… I LOVED it! This book is fantastic. ![]() I tentatively tried the paper out with small sketches and light use of watercolour until I became brave enough to just go for it. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t overly enthused on my first look. The colour of the paper seemed more off-white than the Moleskine. The paper in the Seawhite seemed rougher, but not in a more textured watercolour paper way, but a recycled/craft paper way – which seemed strange. It looks very much like the Moleskine however it is a tad larger when I compared them side by side (the A5 landscape version of both). I didn’t realise at the time of ordering it was a Seawhite book so I was delighted when it turned up. It was a great price and I needed a new sketchbook so I thought I would try it out. However, recently when I purchased some watercolour paints there was an option to purchase a sketchbook along with them but it did not mention what brand the book was. I was given an A4 watercolour sketchbook by a relative for Christmas a few years ago and I absolutely loved using it.Ī post shared by Seawhite Of Brighton company have been on my radar for so long but I have just never got round to trying any of their sketchbooks. The company ships globally to 45+ countries so check out their website here to see if they are available where you live. I have seen Pink Pig sketchbooks widely available in physical art stores but they’re also available on Amazon as well as via their own website, which as mentioned you can select your own custom book and paper. Pink Pig is a smaller company that really take care over producing great quality handmade products so if you are in the UK please check them out. All books are wire bound so you can’t really draw over two pages but if you are ok with that then these books should be top of your list to check out. On their website, you can choose which paper you want and how many leaves (pages you want).Īn A4 landscape book with 15 leaves (30 sides of paper to draw on) of 300 gsm Bockingford paper is £12. They come in all sorts of sizes and colours and they offer 3 types of watercolour paper: 280 gsm matte, 280gsm textured and 300gsm Bockingford. Their range of watercolour sketchbooks is fantastic too. They offer a wide array of different sketchbooks. If you live in the UK, you have to check this brand out. This sketchbook is available in ‘pocket’ (A6), ‘large’ (A5), A4 and even A3 size!Ī post shared by Pink Pig International Ltd Pig is a British brand and their sketchbooks are handmade in the UK. The paper will struggle if you try to apply too many layers or do too much wet-in-wet painting. It’s one of the most affordable sketchbooks and handles light watercolour well enough. This sketchbook is perfect to start off with. Moleskine watercolour albums are now also available in portrait orientation. It is 13 x 21 cm, which is roughly A5-sized and has a landscape orientation which is great for drawing wide scenes across two pages. I have always used the ‘large’ size which confusingly is not the largest size available. The paper is 200 gsm and cold-pressed, which means it has a bit of texture to it but it’s not so textured that you can’t draw properly on it. This is the first sketchbook I chose when I started urban sketching. ![]() They have caught on to the urban sketching movement and the need for decent quality and affordability.īudget Sketchbooks for Urban Sketching Moleskine Watercolour Albumġ3 x 21cm, 200gsm, 72 pages, landscape, approx £12, Amazon Many brands now make affordable sketchbooks with decent watercolour paper designed for people who want to sketch and paint on the go. ![]() When you’re starting out, this can be an expensive and overwhelming prospect. Using the best watercolour paper you can afford is essential. As such, in this article, I am solely going to discuss watercolour sketchbooks for urban sketching. Most urban sketchers use watercolours to add colour to their sketches. Depending on what country you are in, which stores you can access physically or online will effect which sketchbook you can buy. Are you on a budget? Are you a beginner? Do you want to be able to paint many layers of watercolour without the paper disintegrating? ![]() Do you need a hardcover for support? Or will you have a board/easel with you to support your book, paintbox etc? Will you be taking your sketchbook overseas? Will you mainly be around your home area? Will you be using only pencils, pen, coloured pencils, watercolour? There are a number of factors to take into consideration when choosing a sketchbook for urban sketching: There is never one answer to a question which starts with “what is the best….?” The answer always depends on the context. I have been asked what the best sketchbook for urban sketching is a number of times.

And while there's a fair amount of mundanity associated with that, those efforts culminate in desperate and tense struggles for survival. The gameplay cycle is simple: explore the world and gather materials during the relative safety of daylight, survive the night by crafting a fire and consuming some food, repeat. The visuals are accompanied by a carnivalesque soundtrack that, while immediately catchy, lacks any sort of variation and quickly led me to switch it off and search for my own creepy music to play in the background. This atmosphere of a child's storybook gone awry is aided by a novelesque menu system and comically blunt bits of story. Like a popup book from the mind of Tim Burton, the gothic-inspired look makes even the most benign shrubbery seem threatening. The moment I landed in my randomly generated world I was struck by an immense appreciation for the paper-cutout graphical style and whimsical presentation. It's the type of game where you can spend hours mining the environment, outfitting your character, and fortifying your home base, only to have your slice of paradise shattered by a terrifying, nearly-unstoppable shadow beast invasion. It provided me with dozens of exhilarating brushes with death, but padded those unforgettable moments with long stretches of tedious busy work. You can get the game right now-and see what all the hype is about-at for $2.69, a whopping 81% off its current price.ĭon't Starve drives me mad like few games ever do. This week, we’ve chosen the survival game, Don’t Starve. Every week, Team Liquid will supply you with their pick for the G2A Game of the Week, which you can buy at an extremely discounted rate thanks to the G2A Weekly Sale. So, should you play Phyrexian Fight Club in Standard? I think the answer is clearly yes! The deck is good and also hilarious.While it is slow in the early game, Standard is super grindy, and when playing against decks like Esper, Grixis, and Jund, having a removal spell that kills the opponent's best creature in the late game while also reanimating a Phyrexian Obliterator or Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is often a game-winning line. Finally, Black Sun's Twilight was really solid and probably should be explored more in Standard. ![]() It's harder to snowball that card advantage than it looks at first glance. It wrecks green decks and other removal-light decks since it is almost impossible to kill in combat, but against decks with black removal, it often dies without doing much of anything. Glissa Sunslayer is sort of like a mini-Obliterator. It might be better off in the sideboard for non-Sheoldred matchups. While the card advantage is nice, it is really, really bad if our opponent plays a Sheoldred, the Apocalypse since each card we draw with it will cost us three life. A couple of quick notes on other new cards in the deck: Phyrexian Arena is risky.Thankfully, black is one of the best colors in current Standard, so staying mostly black isn't much of a cost. One of the deck's weird quirks is that, because Phyrexian Obliterator has so many black mana symbols, we're almost mono-black since we need pretty much all of our lands to tap for black mana, making it hard to play double-green spells. As far as the rest of the deck, it's a bunch of card draw, removal, and lifegain creatures to help us stabilize and stay alive while we are setting up the Fight Club combo.Thankfully, the Fight Club plan is good against pretty much any deck with creatures, so if we are in a matchup where Phyrexian Obliterator is likely to die, we often wait until we have enough mana to play it and fight with it right away, to minimize the risk of getting blown out by removal. In other matchups, it's pretty lackluster (against black and white decks that can easily kill it without damaging it). In some matchups, it pretty much wins by itself (this mostly happens against green or red decks that can't kill Obliterator without sacrificing a bunch of permanents). Speaking of Phyrexian Obliterator, outside of our fight spell combo, it's a strange card.Since Tail Swipe is an instant, we can play Phyrexian Obliterator, leave up a mana, and wait until our opponent taps down (or tries to kill Obliterator) and fight in response to make our opponent sacrifice a bunch of permanents. One risk of the Fight Club plan is that our opponent can potentially kill our Phyrexian Obliterator in response to the fight spell, which fizzles our combo. Meanwhile, Tail Swipe is an instant, which is huge. Bushwhack can be a one-mana fight spell, or it can tutor up a land, which helps ensure we never get mana-screwed. As far as our Fight Club plan, it's pretty simple: find Phyrexian Obliterator and a fight spell, fight our opponent's biggest thing, and win the game! We have two fight spells in our deck, both with upside: Bushwhack and Tail Swipe.Overall, across a bunch of matches, I have a 55% match win percentage with the deck, which is pretty good considering the larger-than-normal sample size. Record-wise, I've been playing Phyrexian Fight Club for fun because I really love making Standard players sacrifice their lands.Just a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Much Abrew About Nothing series and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest. This is where our fight spells come in: if we use Bushwhack or Tail Swipe to fight one of our opponent's creatures with Phyrexian Obliterator, we essentially force our opponent's creature to deal damage to our Phyrexian Obliterator, in turn making our opponent sacrifice permanents equal to their creature's power, which can potentially be all of our opponent's lands, giving us the fabled flawless victory in Standard! Can the plan work? How many flawless victories and salty scoops can we get in Standard with Phyrexian Fight Club? Let's get to the video and find out on today's Much Abrew About Nothing! The problem is that our opponents know this, which means they'll try their hardest not to damage our Obliterator. If our opponent ever damages it, they have to sacrifice that many permanents. Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. This week, we're heading to our new Standard format to see if we can get some flawless victories with Phyrexian Obliterator and fight spells! Phyrexian Obliterator is a really cool card.

![]() KM denotes its Keymo Dead Air sound suppressor capability. Thanks I know it works with the following: Dead Air Sandman K. 6315KM is a part of Forward Controls’ x15 muzzle device series. A list of compatible suppressors would be really helpful for figuring out which upper/rifle to buy. The number 63 in its name pays homage to the Stoner 63 light machine gun, the shape of its ports draws heavily from the Stoner 63 LMG’s flash suppressor design. It provides 15 to 20% better muzzle rise compensation than the A2, and what is impressive is that it does so without sacrificing its flash suppression capabilities, or creating more noise and concussion. Note that since 6315KM does have flash suppression capability equal to that of an A2, it is to be treated as a flash suppressor for states that feel threatened by them, such as CA, MA, and NY.Ħ315KM is a light and short blended performance muzzle device. 6315KM is compatible with Dead Air 5.56mm sound suppressors. Its 3 and 9 o’clock ports are 25% smaller (shorter and narrower) than the other three upward-facing ports so more gas is vented through the upward-facing ports, it is a superior compensator to the A2, its flash suppression is equal to that of an A2. Threaded for 1/2×28, precision machined from solid 4140 steel bar stock, heat treated and QPQ coated, it is probably the finest A2 style comp/flash suppressor ever produced. The flash, noise, and concussion they produce are the result and byproduct of reducing the felt recoil (brakes) and keeping the muzzle down (comps). FCD went through a phase of expensive and fancy brakes and comps, all of them have worked well but we know they’re not practical for defense/duty ARs. It is inexpensive and does a decent job of what’s asked of it. ![]()

Tarantino’s screenplay specifies that Butch holds the weapon “Takakura Ken-style,” referring to the Japanese star of movies such as 1968’s The Drifting Avenger. ) Then Butch spots the appropriate weapon of honor and vengeance: a samurai sword. (Check it out here, starting around 6:30.

He turns back to help Marsellus, the man who just tried to kill him, but first he needs to find a weapon. Standing at the door of the pawnshop in a blood-soaked T-shirt, on the threshold of escaping his predicament and his movie’s genre, Butch has a crisis of conscience (beautifully underplayed by Willis).

Although some dismissed Tarantino’s genre-shuffling as a cheap postmodern stunt, it was part of a deliberate strategy, along with the timeline jumps, to keep the audience off-balance.īad Bunny Unveils 'Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana' Track List ![]() “Part of the fun of Pulp,” Tarantino said, “is that if you’re hip to movies, you’re watching the boxing movie Body and Soul and then suddenly the characters turn a corner and they’re in the middle of Deliverance. The pawnshop was actually the Crown Pawn Shop, at 20933 Roscoe Blvd., in the Canoga Park district of Los Angeles - still in business today. And the creepy Zed was portrayed by Peter Greene, also seen as the villain in The Mask. Maynard was played by the Texan actor and playwright Duane Whitaker, who later wrote the sequel to Tarantino’s From Dusk Till Dawn. Underneath the Gimp’s head-to-toe leather was Stephen Hibbert, a comedy writer ( Animaniacs) and actor ( Austin Powers) then married to Julia Sweeney (the SNL alum who also appeared in Pulp Fiction - Tarantino did some work on the screenplay for her movie It’s Pat). Once they take Marsellus into the adjoining room, Butch knocks out the Gimp with a single punch, and heads upstairs to freedom. Maynard is joined by his cousin, Zed, and their leather-clad servant, the Gimp Zed decides that they will rape Marsellus first. Marsellus and Butch awaken in the pawnshop’s basement, tied to chairs and equipped with red ball gags. A limping chase on foot leads them both into a pawnshop, where Butch punches out Marsellus and the proprietor, Maynard, concusses Butch. The next morning, Butch heads to his apartment to fetch a watch while there, he kills Vincent (John Travolta) and hits Marsellus with the car. The setup: the boxer Butch Coolidge (played by a 39-year-old Bruce Willis) double-crosses crime boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) instead of throwing a prizefight, he bets on himself and wins. No scene upended more expectations than the pawn shop sequence (SPOILER ALERT - if you haven’t ever seen the movie, this is the moment when you should stop reading and go do that. But when Quentin Tarantino’s film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1994, it thrilled and shocked the audience in equal measures. Pulp Fiction has become so canonized as a modern classic, it’s easy to forget how transgressive it was on its release twenty years ago. |
