"His barbs? Spent arrows and wrent spears. His mane? Blood-rust. His tail? Knots of tattered banners, coffin nails, and a crooked dagger. But his smile- a thousand iron teeth, that is real. Or so they say." - Yusuf Ayari to Salvatore L. Outhier, ("Suffered Visions", 1932)

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

What's the common link between Warhammer and Final Fantasy? Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone! Rodney Matthews 1976 Elric was the model for Jes Goodwin's sculpts that became 89's WHF elves. Yoshitaka Amano's Warrior of Light came from his Elric, his later Elric is directly Matthews influenced.

WAAAAh.

Cold War to modern Tank frames without armor modules are super interesting to look at. Turrets also vary drastically in size based on armor, ammo storage. Love when mecha designs have armor separate from base frame.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Yoshitaka Amano on Orientalism in western fantasy art: "Yeah, something in his [Frank Frazetta] faces does look eastern. (laughs) That’s because fantasy, I think, is something that thrives on exoticism. Perhaps to westerners the east can look like another world." shmuplations.com/amano/

Warhammer Fantasy writers love the imagery of "silk clad almond eyed jewel scaled arrogant yin yang foreigners with topknots sailing into the Empire to tell the Sigmar-Fearing barbarians that they will bring Dragon Phoenix harmony to the lands" so much they did it a second time, Grand Cathay :

This is a huge part of why Dark Souls armor has 'realism' vs contemporaries. Even when shiny and fantastic, the breastplate or belt almost always sits on top of the hips instead of lowrise at the hips. This works for stylized outfits too, Sephiroth and other SOLDIER have belts at belly button.

My attempt to restore the artwork of Robot Battle V by Hiroshi 'Kow' Yokoyama used for promoting the #NEC #PC88 version on LOGiN magazine in Japan. Removed text, taking very few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process.

Armored Core 1 having your transport attacked even before you're deployed really added the sense of teamwork and urgency to missions.

I got the last chapter for Shogaku Magazine's 1992 #Zelda #LttP feature scanned, cleaned, and uploaded. This is a magazine for first graders but the art is super amazing. It's where the badass image of Ganon comes from. September, Part 6: archive.org/details/zine...
