I love these realistic, alternate reality, large-scale pieces that Segrelles, Schuiten and others come up with.
I mean, instead of conjuring up pure fantasy (and sometimes looking ridiculous), they're riffing on known concepts that work perfectly well in our world. Haha, well most of the time, I guess.
