Very interesting. Definitely not the gritty urban landscape that I normally expect when I hear "cyberpunk"....lots of open spaces, people walking around outdoors, and even agriculture

You're right, Joey. Maybe I'm using 'cyberpunk' erroneously. There's not much of a dystopian vibe here, really.

I guess in the future robots have come and gone but dinosaurs are back.

Yeah it's sci-fi and very cool but not cyberpunk. If anything it's a bit utopian.

Yeah Jurassic Park-style problems are still utopian

Very interesting.

Kind of mixes Syd Mead with the early 80's Sweden.

I like it.

In reply to SyntheticBlinkerFluid: I was gonna say, somebody's a fan of Syd Mead. Which is a very, very good thing.

Good call on Syd Mead. I'm also getting a big dose of post-apocalyptic, 2nd generation Robotech in there, too.

His aesthetic is incredible. I LOVE the aesthetic of super-futuristic mecha in a state if decay. He conceived these machines and then weathered them--too cool.

I also like that there's a "day in the life" vibe to it. I kinda get that vibe when I see wind turbines in a rural setting now.

Great post, Luke.

You know what the best part about these pictures are?

It makes you question what is or what was. Like I said its like Syd Mead meets early 80's Sweden. So it's modern, yet futuristic at the same time. I like wondering sometimes.

I hope the artist makes more.

I dunno. I get a really ominous vibe from all of it--and that's a good thing.

Looking at it again, it is just brilliant.

Think of it as what small towns will look like after the big ones turn into BladeRunner

Pretty Cool, I've always been partial to Daniel Simon's work, but seeing these that put a whole scene together is almost more impressive. And the swedish steel is cool too.

Is there a way to read the descriptions of these vehicles in English rather than (what I think is) Latin???

AWESOME designs. God, this dude is a real visionary. Futurism is fascinating stuff.

Wow, they are in Latin, didn't even notice that! Crazy. Dude has a very impressive resume.

That "Lore ipsum" description is a classic placeholder text. Typically it's used to mock up a page layout before actual copy is written.
