Art by John Blanche for Warhammer 40K

[oldschoolfrp]

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.

He also contributed to GW's UK edition of Dungeons & Dragons, Fighting Fantasy and Sorcery! books, and other books and album covers. Wombat Games recently published an authorised biography, Blanche: The Rise of Grimdark. A skirmish game, John Blanche's En Garde, is in development with a setting and visual style based on his art.

I missed Aotearoa's Pride Month and was meaning to make this post! Alas, my life got very difficult, and I forgot. So here it is, belatedly. Aroha mai! For those of us in En Zed, I thoroughly recommend Dr. Will Hansen's work on our queer history.

"Every Bloody Right To Be Here": Trans Resistance in Aotearoa New Zealand, 1967 - 1989" And Queer Activism in Aotearoa New Zealand, 1961 - 2013

They're both theses, so they are long, but they're free to read and download from Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University's Open Access portal.

For more general rainbow research, check out Ia, which is Queer-focused research from Auckland University of Technology.

AND: Here is the place you can submit on the Definitions of Woman and Man Amendment Bill (aka some transphobic garbage)
