Looking for recourses for warhammer art (not combat)

By plutonick, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

I am looking for warhammer art, but excluding action/combat shots (of those, I found enough on the web).

What I am after, are scenery pictures, for instance a forest, or a town, or a coach, so I can decorate my session's blogposts. I would like those to have a warhammer feel, ie gothic.

Anyone know of any such site?

Check www.malleus.dk, they have some nice images there (I like the pencil drawings in particular). If you plan on using the art in some publishable form that everyone can see (i.e. open blog) you should probably ask them before though, I have no idea on what their stance is on useage.

Get a hold of "Blood on the Reik" and the career compendium. Both have numerous character, etc. portraits.

I would recommend many of the 1st edition sourcebooks which have good illustrations of the sort of thing you are after. However, whilst books such as Marienburg:Sold Down the River, Warhammer City (the Middenheim guide) or Death on the Reik would have plenty of useful pictures, I'm not sure that you'd get permission to use them.

Similarly some of the artists may well have some good stuff too - have a look at Martin Mckenna's website (martinmckenna.net) and have a look at the pictures in the gallery or Russ Nicholson's (russnicholson.blogspot.com) where there illustrations of street scenes and daily life for fantasy settings. But these are professionals and using their work without permission would be a bad idea.

In the public domain, however, might be older art. I'd recommend checking out the work of Albrecht Durer whose engravings have obviously inspired a lot of artists since and have exactly the right feel. Some have fantastical subjects, others mundane. Also the work of Albrecht Altdorfer or Pieter Breughel the Elder might have some useable stuff.
