The artwork presents a cataclysmic scene in the style of Enki Bilal and Gustave Doré, merging an oil on canvas technique with ultra-realistic photography to depict a powerful apocalypse. As a dark sky filled with swirling clouds looms ominously overhead, a massive explosion unleashes chaos over an abandoned industrial city. Fiery swirls and smoke spiral into a daunting vortex, resembling a miniature black hole or a sun-like entity at the scene’s core. This vortex seemingly devours the charred landscape, pulling in remnants of the crumbling structures and trees. On one side of this dystopian depiction, a stark contrast emerges in the form of burgeoning greenery overtaking the ruins, suggesting a resurgence of nature amidst destruction. This blend of styles enhances the visual drama and intricacy, illustrating the benefits of using style references in AI art to enrich storytelling and visual impact in fantastical yet poignant scenes.
