Always more at ease drawing landscapes, Van Gogh continued to record local scenery in increasingly intricate penwork while perfecting his mastery of. Their absence of color leaves the viewer wondering about his intention. His attention to detail and willingness to silence the inner voice that then allowed the landscape to speak is what make these works powerful. These works act as a journal, telling the story of his life where he was and when. These little black-and-white sketches illustrate his remarkable skill to translate sight into gracefully rendered pages, conveying his experience and recording his visitations along the way. These felt-tipped pen drawings carry an essence of plein-air yet are made using the tool of a scribe. This is a landscape drawing for beginners with pencil sketching and shading. Nestler’s ability to capture landscapes with gestural marks is truly astounding. The Art Center of Western Colorado’s Permanent Collection Committee presents a display of Alfred Nestler drawings.

![]() It has a ranged focus, but poor ranged weapons(gouf has even better ranged firepower funnily enough).Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 system requirementsīefore buying Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2 for PC don’t forget to compare system requirements, provided by game developers, with your system configuration. Gouf custom is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ unit in general due to it's poor performance across the board. My best games with it are basically me just beam spamming people to death by switching between guns and never overheating them. ![]() Speed gets you into position, guns allow you to mitigate the threat of supports. Against generals it works to disengage as well, since even shields won't save you from build stun. That combo can be done alongside the rest of your team and melts a support without them having even a chance of fighting back. You are better off going beam rifle for instant stun(can't be used while flying), double beam rifles wait a moment for them to start recovering, double beam rifles again to stun a third time, switch to beam to stun a fourth. Gaplant can be played as a dive bomber, but that leaves you vulnerable. It also has pretty poor melee damage outside of it's slow low range downswing, since it uses blow rather than a melee weapon. It doesn't stand still, all of it's weapons are able to shoot while moving. It is an absolute monster as basically a ranged assassin. It is a flanker that gets deep behind enemy lines and takes out the supports from range while giving those supports little to no ability to fight back. Flipper IS a stealth unit, with high speed, high initiation damage, and high sustained ranged firepower. And nothing says "Please kill me" like a suit that stands still. Which, on the subject of those two why ARE they Raids if most their focus is on Ranged? Hell, with it's more anti stealth skills and Ranged forcus you'd think Flipper would be in the support category. Like every Gouf I've seen has been chain gun while running/dashing into melee combat and every Gaplant has been dive bomb laser beams into transform, melee combo. Originally posted by MerlinCross:I'm hearing more of "Get to melee range", and there's probably a reason I don't see G05 and Zaku Flipper in those roles. ![]() I'm hearing more of "Get to melee range", and there's probably a reason I don't see G05 and Zaku Flipper in those roles. Gouf custom's melee is ok, but it is not oriented towards using it, infact it got re-adjusted in a patch unreleased on PC to make it a hybrid raid instead. Zaku flipper has so many ranged weapons that by the time it fires it's faust, grenade and then the 6 anti- air shots, stunning the target 3-4 times in a short period, the faust is almost alreadt reloaded. G05 can't even move while using it's signature weapon. Gaplant is very much a shoot them unitil they are dead with two weapons with stunning capabilities that can be swapped between and chained for a 5 long stun combo with massive damage. Those arm cannons are actually pretty devastating. Gerbera is a hybrid raid, it can fight at range or get in close, both of which are effective at doing damage depending on circumstances. Originally posted by MerlinCross:-snip-I gave more examples. As it is Gustav feels like it's given equipment for a job it's stats doesn't want it actually doing. If it had better dashing, more melee weapons, or a stronger combo skill I'd agree with it. I am confused as to why the large tanky ranged geared suit has such a high push for Melee. I mean Gebura has a higher ranged attack score than melee but I've only seen it used as "Okay they're staggered, INSTANT Into melee and get out" or some flavor of mobile melee assassin. Generals have melee focused ones, as well as pseudo supports like the guncannon heavy type D or zaku half cannon MB, Raid like hybrids with higher melee priority like the zaku II commander type.Įven supports have their oddballs Ones with evasion, the eyezack(in a class of it's own basically), ones with mid ranged focus(dom barrage sucks at long range for example), and more.Īs I've said, every raid I've seen has been a flavor of "Get to melee Range". You have gunner raids, hybrid raids, and melee raids.

However, in the original ballad, after her 12 years in the army, Mulan returns home to find her father dead and her mother remarried. "Mulan" (1998) – Based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulanĭisney's version of "Mulan" sees our heroine save China and return home to her family, all in good health. Despite this jarring historical inaccuracy, Disney's "Pocahontas" has a 54% Rotten Tomatoes rating and grossed over $346 million worldwide. Tragically, she died in England at the young age of 21. The real Pocahontas was captured, converted to Christianity, renamed Rebecca, and married to a man named John Rolfe. However, the true story is so far from a fairy tale. The Disney interpretation paints a romantic tale of a Native American woman falling in love with the English settler, John Smith. "Pocahontas" (1995) – Inspired by the real-life Pocahontas Nonetheless, this king of the Disney jungle holds a stellar 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is a global phenomenon, having grossed over $968 million worldwide. But let's not forget, "The Lion King" still features fratricide and an existential crisis. "The Lion King" (1994) – Inspired by William Shakespeare's "Hamlet"Ī Shakespearean play turned into an animated feature, who'd have thought? While the dark tale of "Hamlet" includes a ghost, insanity, and a fatal ending, Disney understandably chose a lighter, furrier approach. Emma Watson-starring live-action remake, released in 2017, was even more successful and grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 2017 and the tenth-highest-grossing film of all time. It boasts a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is one of the few animated films ever to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. The film, however, with its memorable songs and endearing characters, was a roaring success. The Beast is more grotesque and threatening, forcing Belle into marriage rather than politely asking. "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) – Based on Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's "Beauty and the Beast"ĭisney's "Beauty and the Beast" is a tale as old as time, but its original French version is as dark as it gets. ![]() Thank God the Disney version was less disturbing and captivated audiences and critics alike, securing a 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and making $51.6 million at the box office. However, it's not a charming prince's kiss that awakens her, but the hungry babies she gives birth to while unconscious (as a result of a wandering king's 'visit', who "carrie her to a bed, where he gather the first fruits of love."). In a much darker folktale, the princess is cursed by a spiteful fairy to prick her finger and fall into a hundred-year slumber. "Sleeping Beauty" (1959) – Based on Charles Perrault's "La Belle au bois dormant" The 2023's live-action remake did well enough too, grossing over $556 million against a total production budget of $250 million. Despite this, the Disney adaptation was a tidal wave of success, becoming one of the most beloved films of the Disney Renaissance period with a 92% Rotten Tomatoes rating. In his version, the mermaid undergoes excruciating pain to gain legs and after all that doesn't even end up with her Prince (cue dramatic gasp!). "The Little Mermaid" (1989) – Based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid"ĭisney's Ariel is everyone's favorite redheaded mermaid, but Andersen's original tale is less under-the-sea merriment and more melancholy. ![]() The wicked stepsisters were punished at the end by becoming blind, a rather drastic change from Disney's happier ending, right? Nevertheless, the iconic animation has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and raked in $85 million at the box office, a success we can't deny. Our fair Cinderella still had her stepsisters and stepmother, but instead of a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, she was subjected to endless suffering. ![]() While Disney's rendition involves singing mice and a fairy godmother, Perrault's tale was quite different. ![]() For Smith, ‘By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it’ it is as if an invisible hand is guiding the merchants’ promotion of the public good. Hence, when merchants trade goods for their self-interest, they increase the wealth of the whole state. Smith, in the section of the Wealth of Nations where he discusses the ‘invisible hand’, he explains first that the annual revenue of a state is the sum of its produce or the exchangeable value of it. Just like Smith, Mandeville’s core idea is that the unintended impact of the many serving their own interests, as merchants in the market system, is positive. The relation to Adam Smith’s ‘invisible hand’ is obvious. Mandeville concludes that ‘fools only strive to make great an honest hive…fraud luxury, and pride must live, while we the benefits receive’. What remains of the once so powerful hive is a hollow tree. In sum, the people no longer spend money on luxury goods-which Mandeville views as everything that is not immediately necessary-this puts many out of jobs, meaning they can no longer support themselves and starve to death. There is no more innovation and little manufacturing, as the now-frugal bees are content with the bare minimum. Similarly, bees no longer go to taverns to spend their money on alcohol, which leads to pubs closing. Rich bees no longer spend money on luxury goods, such as great houses, which destroys the building industry. ![]() Many bees lose their jobs, as there is less economic activity due to the frugal nature of traditional Christian virtue. Then honesty and traditional virtue is introduced in the hive, which undermines its power. Nevertheless, this vicious hive was the envy of all other hives, due to its strong economy and large population. As Mandeville pointedly states: ‘Thus every Part was full of Vice, Yet the whole Mass a Paradise’. For instance, doctors are in their profession for the fame, not for benevolence politicians are all corrupt lawyers wanted to create more feuds, instead of ensuring peace. He concludes this through examining a bee hive, which was a traditional symbol of a hard-working eighteenth-century citizen, who was fully dedicated to the state, valuing the whole over themselves.Īt the start of the Fable, the hive is very successful, powerful and prosperous, even though-or because-all bees follow their self-interest. Mandeville argued, as the full title of the Fable suggests, that, without noticing, seemingly selfish acts of individuals are necessary for a prosperous and thriving society in short, personal vices make a whole society successful. Its underlying doctrine, that there are unintended positive consequences of self-motivated action, can be viewed as a precursor to Adam Smith’s ‘invisible hand’. ![]() Mandeville’s Fable, which may have been a direct reaction to de Witt’s treatise, amounts to a scathing critique of republicanism, civic virtue, and mercantilism. Johan de Witt, a Dutch republican, published the Fly and Ant in 1703, which contrasted the nature of flies-consumers, who are addicted to commercial goods and though they may eat jam at times, their life is short, as they are ultimately killed by humans-with the nature of ants-who are hard-working and virtuous, sustaining their states-to show the advantages of republics. Mandeville was critiquing republicanism and its emphasis on a frugal society focused on civic virtue. It was so scandalous at the time that it is said only one person, Dr Johnson, publicly praised the work. In 1705 he published The Grumbling Hive, which he later developed into The Fable of the Bees: or Private Vices, Publick Benefits (1714). Mandeville was born in 1670 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where he studied medicine before moving to London in the late 1690s. Bernard Mandeville is one of the most controversial and interesting thinkers of the eighteenth-century. |
