I love it when artwork instantly transports you into the scene.
This oozes atmosphere. I can hear the seaguls, the sea, the wind, the creaking tower. I can smell the sea, hear the soundtrack and feel the slice of life story.
Artwork showing urban or societal degradation; run-down, grungy, or ramshackle yet inhabited and populated towns or houses
Is it derelict, or abandoned and then re-inhabited? then it may be more suited to Imaginary Wastelands

now crul;
i'm aware that you use mlmym which doesn't show display names, and i'm also aware that i've changed the display name a few times because i don't know how best to communicate the feeling i'm hoping to encapsulate; but i'm afeared you haven't recently read this lemmysphere's sidebar..
what you've posted is really cool, but i think all 3 would be better suited to wastelands & ruins
(i put all this in a spoiler tag because i hate to criticise)
Thanks for the correction! Just to check I understand, this is what I see on the sidebar:

So... the problem is that this is not re-inhabited, right?
I will post it to [email protected], just let me know if I should remove this one (or feel free to remove it yourselft).
Don't worry about criticising (with me), the "curation" part of moderating a community is also important.
it's that it's not currently inhabited by the society that built it
i've been a bit inconsistent with the theme of this 'sphere - my first plan was specifically this kind of depressing and rain-drenched mediæval hamlet sort of thing
(i.e. the degradation of the architecture and society in general, hence the original name & url),
but then i realised that's probably a bit niche, considering the current population of lemmy so i expanded it to any type of dystopic village or city
but yeah, the idea is just any currently functioning municipality in which you wouldn't want to live; as opposed to /c/wastelands where there may be a society, but it's collapsed and rebuilt itself (i.e. mad max 3). most likely if the buildings were built from scratch for their current function, it fits here, whereas if they're scratch-built from old vehicle carcasses or whatever, they'd fit better in wastelands.
i know i personally have a predilection toward mediæval and victoriana, but i would also welcome cyberpunk dystopiæ; or any sort of ill-repaired buildings or smog-filled overpopulated cities^[or any type of dystopia, but i have no idea how you'd find art depicting a huxleyan dystopia...]
(sorry that was rambly, i literally have no idea how to describe it..)
Oh, I think I got it. The key feature is the continuinity of the people and the buildings.
Thanks for the explanation!
^i'm^ ^sorry^
in case it helps, I also hate defining and, especially, enforcing rules, so I understand you :).
