It really sucks to see this, the tabletop industry is not a large one. And it has been built by the collective efforts of so many talented artists and writers.

I make it a point to not share AI work though?
I will post the real photo this is based on. AI slop isn't cute or clever, it's actively insulting to human beings with eyes. ๐Ÿ–•

The point at which there are too many faces and sculpt mode turns into a slide show.

Despite owning two copies, I would gladly buy an English edition. Especially if oversize.

You can be aware that someone is a genius, but trying to replicate one of their works is good way to truly appreciate the mastery.

Blender sculpting and hard surface, baby steps, though the project time is already at 20 hours. ๐Ÿ˜…

These are too great. I love artifacts of the 3 color printing process. Too many great works get hit with the Descreen filter.

That is killer. Prepping some matte photo paper and warming up the good inkjet.

Very much working from the Wil Rees concepts, and John Sibbick's Rogue Trader cover art, I should add.
I should also add I would love to see a proper full reproduction of Sibbick's painting, rather than the cropped versions commonly available. I wonder whose estate that lives in.

The two pieces used for Skirmish on Rynn's World; The Battle at Jadeberry Hill, the follow up scenario to Rogue Trader's Battle at the Farm remain my favorites of his.
A view of 40k that wasn't, with extemporaneous detail and weapons, uniquely Tony Hough. Perfect illustrations.

Tony Hough might be one of the least remembered Rogue Trader artists, working for the GW studio (presumably freelance) for only few years. His work for Rogue Trader, The Book of the Astronomican, and for Richard Halliwell's unreleased first draft of Battlefield Gothic were certainly all bangers.

There is just something about the early 80's and B/W art.
Tony Hough: unused Rogue Trader illustration
Mamoru Nagano: panel from The Five Star Stories
Hayao Miyazaki: panels from Nausicaรค of the Valley of the Wind
Just gets the creative juices flowing.

The cover of Space Hulk Campaign with the overlay:

This one has a cool story to go with it (from David Gallagher's insta) After he submitted it, it was requested that the Cultists needed Genestealer facial tattoos/paints. Rather than paint over the original he made an acetate overlay with the face paints. Original:
