![]() ![]() But after 12 episodes of watching Stray Dogs, I would like to throw a strong disclaimer out there: don't expect anything to be explained in this anime. I was looking forward to uncovering his past as well as the origin of his mystical Weretiger ability. I really enjoyed the first episode or two with the introduction of our main protagonist, Atsushi and how he comes into the Armed Detective Agency. It loosely reminded meet of the anime Gungrave's synopsis with an orphan joining a powerful agency and excelling through the ranks. I truly mean what I say with regard to the promise I had for the show. Throw in some sporadic comedy, unnecessary gore along with some of the poorest excuses for detective work I've ever seen and you've got a recipe for disaster. However, throughout its first season's 12 episodes, Stray Dogs never really discovers what it wants to be. like it has the promise to be something really unique. ![]() The synopsis is what really had me hyped for the show, because on the surface it sounds The second anime to be produced by bones this season, Stray Dogs is an edgy, ambitious story of an abandoned orphan who finds his place with a detective agency solving crimes and battling the notorious Port Mafia. We've all heard the famous phrase "I'd rather be a Jack of all trades than a king of one", but what happens when you try to be at Jack of too many trades? Well, that's where you get a show like Bunguo Stray Dogs. "Stupidity is a talent for misconception" ![]()

![]() ![]() The market is not just greeting card shops either as many other shops also sell greeting cards. Most retailers are happy to accept new and attractive designs. Your target market is independant shops, not multiples. So if you order 250 off each of four designs, then your cost price per card, with the VAT is around 40p giving you a 60p profit on each card!. 1000 5 x 7 single sided greeting cards currently cost £304 plus £10 for each design. Once you have established that your designs or images sell as greeting cards, you can gear up to making real money. Greeting cards that are not packed in cello bags soon get scruffy and unsaleable. We suggest that you pack your cards individually in glass-clear cello bags which only adds a few pence to the price but ensures that you cards remain clean and saleable when on display. However, you now have some samples AND some stock to sell. This means that each card will have cost you 80p - not much of a profit if you sell your crads for £1 each to the retailer. A total of £133 (plus of VAT course, so a final total of £159.60). So you will have paid £93 plus £40 for 200 cards. However, if you split the quantity into, say, five designs, then each extra design within the order quantity adds an extra £10 = £40 extra. That price assumes that they are all the same design. 200 5 x 7 single sided greeting cards currently cost £93 plus VAT. (A5 cards are the same price anyway and 140mm square cards are cheaper). We will take 5 x 7 greeting cards as an example as these are very popular. Even if you just double your cost price you are making money. Eventually, you can register for VAT and get the VAT back. For instance, 1000 5 x 7 single sided greeting cards currently cost around 30p each (plus VAT) to print, so you are making around 70p on each card you sell to the retailer for £1.00. Once you know what sells, you can increase your order quantities and enjoy the benefits of much cheaper printing prices. Start off with a few greeting card designs or images and see what sells. The secret, as with any enterprise, is careful planning. So how do I make good money from my greeting cards? It is important to realise that this does not matter. In fact if you only order a few cards, you may just break even or even make a loss. When you start out and are testing designs or images, you may not make a lot of money. You make the difference between the wholesale price (The price the retailer pays you) and the amount of money it costs you to buy in the greeting cards. This means that a greeting card which retails for £2.40 will have been bought in by the shop or gallery for around £1.00 So how much can I make? Most greeting card outlets need to make 100% profit on greeting cards, as they have a lot of overheads to pay for. ![]() This retail price will include 40p VAT, (which goes straight to the government) and the retailers profit. This is a perefctly reasonable retail price for an attractive card, packed in a clear 'cello' bag, with a good quality envelope. Take for example, a greeting card that retails for £2.40.

Happy National Pretzel Day (yes, this is a real holiday, and yes we are celebrating!). ![]() ![]() ![]() AtomTeam estimate that about 30% of the game's stories and side jobs are in, and the rest will be done in six months or so. That's not to say it's exactly overflowing at the moment. It's a solid hook, and as this expansion is confined to one city, the condensed space makes the main plot thread feel closer, and more connected to everything else you're doing. Your character from the base game (or a new one you create, who will start at level 15 and answer a few questions in a dream sequence to determine the outcome of earlier events) is sent to the city of Trudograd to track down an experimental pre-war weapon that your bosses think can shoot down an Earthbound asteroid. Rejoice! You can scale the UI up instead of hunching over the screen like a diseased gremlin.Īll that carries over to Trudograd. Character levelling works similarly, with a high emphasis on core attributes like strength and intelligence, which are directly tested in dialogue, and skills like medicine, lockpicking, and crafting having a drastic effect on what your options are when it comes to resolving fights and subplots. You'll wander a dusty geigerworld fighting mutants and grumpy men in makeshift armour, visiting settlements and talking to many people, discovering a sinister plot along the way. America and the USSR nuked each other, and the remnant of a semi-legitimate military/scientific organisation sends you out into the wasteland many years later to explore. ![]() ![]() The setup of ATOM, and in fact an awful lot of what it does, will be familiar to anyone who's played the original Fallout games. I have a feeling it'll be worth the wait. It entered Steam Early Access on Monday (or you can get it on GOG, if you prefer).If you've not played ATOM, Trudograd is a surprisingly welcoming place to start, but my advice is to give it a while longer in the oven. Happily its developers, AtomTeam, have just released a standalone expansion called Trudograd. The heavily Fallout-inspired ATOM RPG has been on my "play more" list for almost a year, since I enjoyed a few hours of it but was distracted by something else. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you just want the bottom line (the road map to learn 3D-Coat) and you don’t wish to read the entire article then go to the “Bottom Line” section at the end of the article. The aim of this post is to present and compare between free online sources that beginners can rely on to learn 3D-Coat, the sources stated here are full-structured courses that beginners can follow along so you won’t find a link to a single article or a reply in a forum post, you won’t also find a million source to learn 3D-Coat as that’s also confusing. Learning 3D-Coat is very helpful for digital artists specially for those who are working in the gaming or animated movies industry, there are many other software that are similar to 3D-Coat ZBrush is one of the major and commonly used alternatives. The interoperability of 3D-Coat could be extended by the use of plugins like Applinks which allows the users to import models created using other 3D sculpting software and create refinements, UV mapping, texturing, bump maps etc. Additionally, manual retopology can also be used to improve the quality of the mesh for animation and rendering.3D-Coat is a 3D sculpting software optimized to create free-form organic and hard surfaced 3D models from scratch, the software has tools that enable its user to sculpt, add polygonal topology, create UV maps, texturing and render static/animated images and movies. Retopology can be used to create models for games, 3D printing, and other applications that require low poly models. By doing this, the artist can create a cleaner, more efficient mesh with fewer polygons, while still maintaining the original form and structure of the model. This is done by hand, using a variety of tools such as sculpting and polygonal modeling. Manual retopology is the process of rebuilding a 3D mesh in order to optimize its structure.

That MC is seemingly immune to demonic powers and able to communicate with Lilith is an argument for this theory. That Lilith was not an angel when she had children is an argument against this theory. Nephilim has been used as a word for any person who is any level of descendent from an angel. Arguments can be made for either, leaving it entirely up to player/fan interpretation. (If this kind of subject is your cup of tea, also look into dhampirs - the offspring of vampires and humans - and the mark of Cain.)Īll that being said, is MC a nephilim? As with many things in Obey Me, this is all pretty undefined. In more recent centuries it became the word for all demon spawn (commonly succubus and incubus) and then later still, the child of a demon and human.Īs early as the 15th century this was something people feared was possible, though no writings at the time used that specific word, instead describing the children as changelings or their languages equivalent.Īgain these pop up in pop culture - Hellboy is one, the stars of Devil May Cry are described as both nephilim and cambion, even the myths of Merlin ascribe the wizard’s power to him being a cambion. This originated as an alternative description of a changeling - the evil baby that replaced a stolen child in the old tales. There you go! My own personal thoughts and headcanons about the relationship between Lilith and MC… I’m a sucker for tragedy and angst at heart so I tend to lean away from actual conversations between the two - but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing between them.There is also the word cambion, which is the offspring of a demon. It’s a soul who loves itself and who its become, who is grateful for the journey and excited for what’s next. This is a contentment beyond mere self confidence. It’s not from their lover/s… but rather, from within. Sometimes MC feels a sense of comfort, of love and safety. What Lilith helped break, MC is slowly helping to mend. The symmetry between their lives is something that could be coincidence, could be fate, or could just be an old tattered soul trying to learn from its mistakes. Their stories are mirrors of one another. There’s a line towards the end of S3 (or so I’m told) in which Diavolo is working his hardest in order to allow MC to live with them permanently in devildom as the spouse of a demon lord/prince. Lilith’s love broke the world, but MC’s love will build it (kudos to for that bombass line). Nevertheless not only does MC’s actions and presence ultimately lead to mending the relationships between the brothers, it also begins to bridge the gap between all three realms. ![]() They’re surrounded by beings that at any point could consume them - mind, body, and soul. They’re forcefully drawn into a realm beyond their own thanks to the curiosity of someone much, much stronger than them. MC, meanwhile, was an ordinary human by all rights (canonically at least, leaving behind any personal headcanons). Her happy ending was to live out her days as a human, and after dying her mortal death she continued to watch over her brothers. It widened the divide between the three realms and ended in her 'death’. There, she fell for a human which ultimately lead to a schism in heaven and her brothers falling. Lilith was a powerful angel who willingly ventured into the human world, spurred mostly by her brother’s interest and curiosity. Lilith’s guidance is present in MC’s choices and circumstances almost right from the get-go. I’m not sure if I believe there’s enough of Lilith left to have full conversations with but I do think their connection goes deeper than just being able to speak to one another. Even their relationships are (comparatively) quick to spark with immortals who have been stuck in this emotional rut for presumably millennia. ![]() They experience new places that feel familiar, they remember conversations they’ve never had. The way I see that manifesting beyond just ‘sheer power’ is deja vu. It’s only upon making contact with Lilith’s grimoire - her memories - that MC gains the ability to be able to comprehend and access those abilities and memories. However, growing up physically, mentally, and emotionally as a human meant that they don’t have the knowledge or capability to utilize any of that power. ![]() In terms of their personal connection, I wrote a little bit here about Lilith’s power in relation to MC but a tl dr of it is that I believe that Lilith’s power, her soul for lack of a better word, is MC’s soul. ![]() I do indeed have Thoughts™ on Lilith!
