Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

Reminds me of the cool old Sci Fi book covers we had back in the 1970s

We had the best book covers ever. I feel sorry for the anime generation.

By the way for those interested in the full image the avatar was cropped from, I'm attaching it here. A commission for Hallowe'en for me this year.

Vallejo has a painting from 1984 called just "Wolves", but it's NSFW, so I won't post an image of it here. Safe to say that his take on the concept of wolves was slightly more racy than yours.

Probably has a lot to do with the gratuitous presence of very scantly-clad or naked women in most of his paintings ;-)
