Whilst clearing up my files I found an old(ish) piece of artwork that I thought I'd share with you.
(this could be good motivation  )
Go here for large version

I used to work for GW as an in-house illustrator (95-99) so yes, I've done lots of 40k and Warhammer art 
As for the website - I know, I keep meaning to do it, but one thing or another comes up (usually work) and I forget.
Hopefully some time soon, maybe |

Fascist looking????
The imagery is based on Games Workshops 40K background - I don't think its political at all.
If its anything it's religous - albeit in a sci-fi dark brooding universe.
Remember he is supposed to be an 'Inquistitor' - they're not what you would call 'nice' people.
(think medieval religous orders but in space)
I didn't create the background to 40K I just illustrate it |

sorry... 
i just mean with the eagle staff-thing in the background and the sword and the skulls and crosses...not to take away from the artwork....this must have taken you a very long time to do. |

No worries,
Guess you're not familiar with the GW imagery |

Awesome work.
I have to admit, I was always more a fan of the 40k illustrations than I was of the actual game itself. The art in the CODEX books was amazing.
On an odd note, and as you hinted at working there 95-99, do you know what ever happened to John Blanche who used to work there? He did some incredibly detailed pieces for the original 40K universe, but seems to have disappeared, along with his art.  |

Very nice piece all in all. |
