"Snowy Day,"

Legendary fantasy artist John Blanche has died. He is known mostly for his long association with Games Workshop, where he served as art director and created many of the iconic images that shaped the Warhammer and 40K worlds. He was capable of working in diverse styles, but much of his art and his own creative miniature conversions made his name synonymous with the "grimdark" aesthetic, mixing elements of moody gothic architecture and body horror with a limited color palette.

Games Workshop and Warhammer would be nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, without him.

He was the beating heart of GW's worlds, made theses little toy games feel like they had a whole universe behind them.

His body of work is STAGGERING, and the amount detail he packed into each piece truly dwarfed the game itself.

One of the Lords.

Farewell.

Dancing Ganesha, Red Sandstone (ca. 10th century) A ten-armed sculpture of the Hindu god Ganesha captures him in a playful dance (nritta). Created under the Kalacuri dynasty in Madhya Pradesh, India, the figure is adorned with attributes that reference his father, Shiva, including two snakes, one as a sacred thread across his chest. As the Remover of Obstacles, the red sandstone figure was intended for a temple niche to clear the path between the worshipper and the divine while bestowing prosperity. Loc. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Dim. 91.4 cm H x 50.8 cm W (36 x 20 in.).
