"Priority subject for termination, high on the list." Happy belated 3 years to AC6, the game that made me a believer again. Here's the full version of the art I did for the AC zine, Records Analysis @armoredcorezine.bsky.social. Glory to the Planetary Closure Administration. #ArmoredCore

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

An illustration of the Fellowship, reimagined with Chinese-style period outfits.

An illustration of armors of Gondor, Rohan, and Rivendell Elves, reimagined using different periods of Chinese armors as concepts. On the top right are three side profiles of Rohan man, Gondorian, and Elf with different Chinese hairstyles. On the bottom right is Aragorn's banner redrawn with Chinese influence.

A concept art of Bag End reimagined as Chinese court houses, with tall stone gates, round wooden doors, curved roofs, and open courtyard, nestled in a hill.

A concept art of Rivendell in the style of Chinese painting. Next to it are several props drawn in Chinese style such as Fellowship brooch based on gingko leaves, lembas in the shape of mooncake, Elfstone as round jade, Galadriel's phial in a green jade bottle, and shards of Narsil.

More of the art I did for Legend in the Mist. Old man Carlo, a humble cobbler with a very special assistant I like drawing happy people, what can I say?

A digital illustration of an elderly man with a braided beard and a receding hairline. He's holding a shoe on one hand and a hammer on the other. Over his shoulder sits a Fae creature, winged, with blue and bright pink feathers covering their entire body, they're both laughing, and the Fae points at their tiny, custom made shoes.

Image created for the Legend in the Mist TTRPG, from Son of Oak Games.

Just found this blog post on creative work and immediately clicked with it: www.matthewbogart.net/2026/02/02/t... To paraphrase Matthew's message to all artists: don't give up and keep revising. The breakthrough will come when you least expect it.

The last attempt looks like the others.

Two years of rewrites, failed attempts, and starting over. Then a few adjustments that didn't feel different from any others.

One of the problems with doing reading on a concept for game design is that the game gets designed, and then the reading continues. I'm still watching fishing videos and Rodreel is from before the 2020s. I published that horse thing at the beginning of the week and I'm still learning about judging.

I need you to call your reps and tell them to oppose the HHS appropriations bill. They are trying to sneak a nationwide total trans healthcare ban in it regardless of age.

House HHS Appropriations Bill Would Devastate Trans Adult Healthcare Nationwide

The bill would bar federal funding for any "social, psychological, behavioral, or medical intervention" to treat gender dysphoria.

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

"There are three kinds of magic," said Wizzler, handing us each a balloon. "You can control tigers, you can shoot tornadoes from your fingers, or you can fly by holding your breath. The color of confetti inside your balloon will reveal which kind of power you have."
I felt the panic rising in me. What if my confetti turned yellow, indicating that I was a Tiger-Talker? My family, a long line of proud Tornado-Fingers, would disown me. Could I ever return home, bearing such shame?
I tried to calm myself as I readied the ceremonial safety pin. Green, I thought, willing my hopes into reality. Please be green.
I popped the balloon, involuntarily shutting my eyes. When I opened them, would I see the green I hoped for? The yellow I feared? What if, gods forbid, the confetti were blue?
I opened my eyes, seeing shock on the faces of my classmates. Wizzler himself stared at me, wide-eye. Looking down, I saw myself covered in confetti... purple confetti.

“I don’t understand,” I growled, my body trembling with pain. “I combined eighty percent Earth-elemental mana with twenty percent Fire-elemental mana (Type B), focused through a twenty-four-sided icositetragon made of yellow topaz. This, in conjunction with my blood type, star sign, sense of humor, and nickname, should have produced a blazing column of lightning to vaporize my enemies. Instead, it made a big bubble that smells like fresh laundry. Why?”
Skullgrumbler began to laugh. “You fool! You don’t even realize…” he squealed. “You’re facing east!”

“It’s whatever you want,” explained Magemaster Grampledog. “Magic is just whatever you want.”
I knew he was speaking in riddles, but I couldn’t grasp his hidden meaning. “So the rules are…”
Grampledog lit a sliver of smokereed. “No rules. You say some words and you wave a stick and whatever you want just happens. You don’t even need the stick.”
His wisdom still eluded me. I stared into his face, trying to decipher what he was really saying.
“No, listen.” Grampledog snapped his fingers and his desk turned into a pile of chicken nuggets. “I didn’t even know that would happen.” His hat then came alive and began to yodel.
“It’s pandemonium,” he explained. “It’s complete nonsense.”
