P.S. 14 other artists were in this initial production. Some concepts shown were started by other artists.

A game card titled "Witchhog: The Rutherglen Tabletop Role Playing Game" featuring a "Stout Player Class". The card shows illustrations of various items, trees, and symbolism. Items depicted include wooden crates, a canopy, and various decorative objects, with notes describing them as "swashbuckling but from stouts" and symbols needing to look like wind and rhythm. Trees and plants are slanted due to strong winds, resembling alpine mountains and Bulgarian Alps. The card also features stylized wave and swirl icons, with handwritten notes indicating their symbolic meanings, such as water, wind, and soul.
