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. ๐

Ben Day Dots. Halftones/Screen tones, same idea.

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

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.

He hated it, but face paint was hot in the studio at the time.
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:
