Not that much time left in Outlaw Star Month, so I better make it count. Today, I bring you all some fan art inspired by one of the most well-written pieces of Outlaw Star fan fiction I've come across to date, written by Rassilon001. You better get ready!

Well, it occurred to me that, despite already halfway through week 4 of Outlaw Star Month, I had yet to post a solo shot of the main character: the one and only Gene Starwind. That could be a problem.
"No kidding! I'm the star of the show!"
Sorry, Gene!

Cutting a big close, but today's tribute to Outlaw Star Month is the man responsible for the series I love and adore: Takehiko Ito!

For today's Outlaw Star Month tribute, I present to you fan art of the Kei Pirate foot soldiers. Now that I think about it, there sadly, isn't a whole lot of fan art for these guys. But that part of the reason I picked this piece: bringing attention to those in need of more love!

Know what time it is? It's time to begin another week of Outlaw Star Month! You better get ready!

 

As I’ve mentioned multiple times, today is a very special day. 14 years (and 3 hours) ago, when I was 7 years old, I myself and who knows how many other people first saw this wonderful show premiere on American television on what is without a doubt the most influential television programming block to date: Toonami. And having done a research assignment on Toonami and the concept of programming blocks, I feel more than qualified to make that claim. So I decided to celebrate this special occasion with a specific type of fan work that I myself have absolutely no experience with, but immense respect for: the AMV!

 

While admittedly not the most well made AMV out there, it has several points in its favor. The clips are in decent quality, there is use of more than the utmost basic editing techniques, it features an actual song that is used in the series and even a scene from the original pilot, and above it, upon watching this video, I felt the same sort of excitement as when I first Outlaw World, the very first episode, all those years ago.

"Outlaw Star Jim and Hanmyo" by Inuyatta

Last week, I mentioned I had an Outlaw Star related surprise in store for everyone starting today. Well, time to reveal and explain. For 5 weeks, I plan on spending, Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays sharing some of my favorite Outlaw Star based fan produced works, primarily fan art, with everyone. Why not Tuesdays? Well, as I said in my last post, that's because I'll be sharing Outlaw Star based Tune for Tuesdays, so that day of the week is already covered. As for why I won't be doing weekends, and why I'm starting this week and not last week, well, Outlaw Star first premiered on American televisions on January 15, 2001, which is a week from this Thursday. And while it's true that it first aired in Japan on January 8, 1998 (which was last Thursday), I figured I'd go with start on the week that was the anniversary of when I first discovered Outlaw Star. And lastly, the 5 week thing is because each week, Toonami would air 5 episodes of Outlaw Star, and after 5 weeks, they'd start again from the top. So I keeping up with that pattern. And who knows? Maybe by the end of this "month" of Outlaw Star, I'll have at least one post ready and posted at the exact same time it aired on TV (thank you Toonami wikia for keeping track of those details along with many other things), but no promises. Speaking of which, looks like I'll have to pick out something REALLY special for Thursday, huh?

As for today's Fan Work Spotlight, I've picked a piece of art of what is my favorite pairing of all time by Inuyatta, who can be found on deviantART and fanfiction.net. Not only do I like her fan art, but her stories, especially one in particular, have been a major source of inspiration for me. But I digress. Also, before I go, I have two last pieces of business to address. First, because this is a pairing that holds a dear place in my heart, it's admittedly going to be very hard to limit the number of times I pay tribute to this pairing ain't going to be easy, and for those who aren't crazy about it, I apologize in advance. I completely understand not being crazy about particular pairings, but everyone's got their own opinions, and not everyone's going to see eye to eye on who belongs with who. So at the very least, I can promise I won't just upload shipping fan art the whole month. Second, with regards to the works themselves, while I don't have every piece of fan work picked out ahead of time, like with most of my Tunes for Tuesdays, I'll be trying to avoid picking works made by the same person, and I'm afraid I won't be taking requests or suggestions. I apologize, but that is how it's going to be, I'm afraid.

Anyway, I'll see you all again next time! You better get ready!
