Totally agree. People sleep on last order or gunnm in general but it's a great story (my fav manga overall too). I love Vilma's side story and the whole character arc of Sechs.

Fanart of a Necron Immortal, trying to adapt art of a Necron Warrior from the Oldcron codex
A man, Lawrence V. Aldrich by Kodasea, is falling head-first through the waters, in the pose of the Hanged Man tarot. A woman, Felicia W. Keane, is pulling him under, grabbing him like a feral mermaid. As Lawrence loses parts of his clothes (shoes, socks, shirt, overcoat) he turns to Felicia meeting her gaze with his own. Twisting columns of bubbles stream upwards around them. Faint lights of eyes look from the dark depths below. Artwork for Artfight 2026.

A friend already showed me a bit of the game as they were playing. They appreciate it game-wise more than I do, but were upfront about the learning curve. I am still on the fence, but I should probably at least try, as you say.

I would have been on board for an art forum tbh, I used to love forum culture. The fact that I didn't probably see anything related is half of the reason why even someone with 55k followers can't gather enough response.

Artist! Quote with your art with your favorite background Stars. It's always stars. ✨
A muscular man-bird hybrid kneels under the starry sky. The creature has rows of incandescent, quasi-metallic muscular fibers, glistening with light. Each knuckle of the hands bears a miniature black hole. The creature has a massive beard and mane, flaming like a cloud of plasma, or a orange-white nebula. The creature has reverse-jointed feathery legs and massive talons, and a large fanned tail with blue feathers, marked with a pattern of incandescent white-orange rings, similar to a disk of accretion, or making the equivalent of an eye. The creature has a square halo behind its head, and various golden circles and orbit designs appear around its head and its raised hand. The face of the creature is black, its eyes are beady and bright like stars, and its nose long and beaky. In the starry sky over the creature, some stars are covered by a massive black hand, so massive to cover entire galaxies and use some stars as jewelery: a ring and a bracelet.A fanart of the videogame Outer Wilds by Annapurna Interactive. The main character, wearing their iconic astronaut suit, sits at a campfire, surrounded by a few trees, cooking marshmellows and gazing at the sky above them, in which we can see five main celestial bodies: the gas giant of Giant's Deep; the rocky planet Brittle Hollow and its small, volcanic satellite Hollow's Lantern; the gnarly tangle of roots named Dark Bramble, the comet known only as the Interloper, and one non-descript sphere, probably the Quantum Moon. The campfire area is colored in bright orange, black and white, while the planets are in b/w and surrounded by a grey-blue night sky.

If you see this post a monster
A monstrous bird-like creature standing on its hindlegs and screaming. The creature has violet wings with thick, osseous, blade-like dark pseudo-feathers with pulsating veins running through them.
The creature's corvid beak opens unnaturally as a fanged maw, shining a bright light from inside the large throat. A bright violet aura is emitted from the creature's sound, like a soundwave or a halo.
The creature sports a massive wishbone, and under its belly, multiple faces and vestigial arms grimace and claw around. The monster has a large, crostacean-like tail ending with a fan of black feathers. Beyond the creature there's a grey wasteland under blue-violet, iridescent skies.

Thx for the artshare! (I realized you weren't asking for horrors specifically after uploading the pics but I'm quite proud of them so there they are anyways)
A shambling tower of purple flesh falls into the sea from the storm clouds above. The flesh has multiple tentacles, mouths, fangs, cysts and spines contorting and fusing into each other. A huge monster reminiscent of a massive elephant carries a white city on its back. The monster is fleshy, pinkish, has multiple curve tusks, many tentacle-like proboscides, and walks on many shambling legs, some akin to that of a spider. It has two heads, one on each side of the city, each with four golden eyes and a small flame flickering above its head. A cloudy sky is shown in the background and mists surround its walking ground.A huge, scarred and glabrous humanoid stands, clad in black, leathery bat wings from his back. The monster joins his long-clawed hands together and looks down with his fanged, scarred visage upon a man in the foreground, looking up to the monster from a cliff. The cliff is covered in a white substance (snow, ash?) that is marked with the footsteps of the man rising over it, and many skulls are buried beneath the surface. The man is much, much smaller than the giant vampire, at least ten times smaller, if not more. A black, cracked ring of metal hovers the towering vampire's head like a halo, and projects light around it in the otherwise black background.A chimeric, purple-feathered monster. The upper torso is that of a muscular, naked and scarred bird-woman with long hair with pinkish highlights. From the waist down the woman part connects to a massive form with two sets of wings, two avian forelegs, four scaled, humanoid hindlegs, and two tentacled tails with spurs. The upper set of wings is lighter in color, while the lower is blackened at the tip of the feathers. The woman part of the monster is snarling at the viewer and wielding a massive silvery labrys battleaxe shaped as bird wings. The subject is shown on a barren wasteland of greyish, under a grey-violet, churning, veiny sky. A faint light comes from the horizon.

It's so jarring and disappointing to see people, whom you thought of being reasonable, excusing any genAI use. "Of course genAI art is bad, but it's fine for coding and research!" Full on STOP. All you're doing is exposing how you inherently look down on fields of expertise that aren't your own 💀

QRP with your moon art! 🌕
A monstrous scaled spider-woman. Her limbless torso rises from where a spider's mouth would be, and all the eight limbs of the spider are elongated, white and gangly, ending in fully functional seven-fingered hands. The head of the monster has incredibly long, white straight silken hair, falling in front of her. The woman has a hybrid face between human, insect and reptilian, with six visible eyes, mandibles around the sharp-teethed mouth, and two curved horns rising to the side of the head, one horn slightly longer than the other. Behind the spider-woman, the black starry sky, with a waning(waxing?) crescent moon above the spider-witch, framed in a hole at the centre of a massive spiderweb. The picture is completely black and white with the exception of the spiderweb, which is red, slightly fleshy, and irregular. The spider-witch raises two of her limbs to the moon behind her as if she can reach or grasp it, while two other limbs stroke her hair.

Artist! Quote with your art with dramatic lighting!
A scene inside a large vault hall filled with coins. A group of four people is hiding in the side-patio, running away from a massive genie walking through the treasure-filled hall. The genie emits flames from his burly, hairy body, and from his eyes. The demon has large, loose pants, a snake-like tail, and manacles to his wrists, connected with long, loose chains. The four thieves are hiding behind the columns. One is a barefoot man with a cloak; another, running towards the other two, is a bald man in ample, elegant clothes, carrying a sack of money on his back; the other two are a muscled, moustached man with a fez and a hawk resting on his back, and an ape-like masked creature, dressed in furs, hood and horned mask, climbing the column and holding another sack with his prehensile foot.
A helldiver, from the eponymous game, raising the head of a destroyed Automaton while stepping over its ruined body. Flames blaze behind the soldier.

Sneakily attempting to join the Belt Clutter Gang but the clutter on my belt keeps alerting the gang
An armored knight in red armor stands over a cliff, before a city in ruins. The knight wields a greatsword made of crackling red energy in their right hand, and fires a heavy machine gun in their left. Some energy generator around the barrel of the firearm projects a tall, pseudo-norman shield. The armor is made of multiple strips of red metal screwed in place, interlocked together. The pauldrons are connected to large ram horns, and the knight's left pauldron is covered in the ram's vellum, that covers the top of its ragged, sewn-together cloak. Chains connect the pauldrons and the belts. The belt is made of multiple high-caliber ammo belts coiled around the knight's waist, and multiple dogtags are chained together to form a legionaire's kilt. The helmet's slits are covered on the left side with other strips of metal, while on the right side a single hole shows the red light inside of a rage-filled eye. A half-laurel decorates the rest of the helm, while a halo made of the same red crackling energy as the sword tops the head of the knight.A knight resembling a byzantine cataphract stands holding a spear, his horse's reins, and leans against his tear-shaped shield. The shield is carved and decorated with a holy woman's face embedded in the boss, and the word "Azah" is written in its halo. The same design decorates the pauldrons of the knight, who also has a hatchet and a longsword on his belt. The horse is covered in armor, similarly to its rider.
A large, stone-skinned bald humanoid wields a large executioner's sword. The humanoid wears a set of stone slabs roughly carved into plates, a skirt made of skulls (humanoid or monstrous) that covers completely his loins, and a red scabbard. An incomplete stone halo hovers his head. A blood red patch explodes in the background.
A mechanic works on an android hanging from chains. The mechanic has cybernetic implants in his spine and a thin cable sprouting from the base of his skull, that moves as a third hand. A toolbelt with multiple tools and pockets lines his side. A table on the side holds a number of other spare parts, a vise and a blowtorch.
