    Passing a video camera in front of these paintings and then editing the resulting footage together with some loud Wagnerian music would be about 100 times more entertaining than anything Roland Emmerich has ever made.

    In the second image I seriously doubt that Bamboo Reef Sharks would be in such deep water. Furthermore, in the...

    Oh who am I kidding? These are stupid cool and probably more entertaining than sitting through that movie.

    @Grey_Area: It looks like the water has just swept into the city, hence the trucks still floating around with their lights on. The poor sharks were probably swept in by the water. As soon as the water settles they will find a better place to live.
    These pictures are amazingly cool. They are my kind of end of civilization.

    It looks less like they're "inspecting" and more like they're dead cosmonauts floating about. Either way, it's pretty cool. #5 is particularly engaging.

    These are absolutely gorgeous. I'm always a little boggled by photorealistic painters. I can't imagine the patience it takes to do something like this.

    The weightlessness of the figures gives the already bleak and empty environments an even eerier feel. I like these a lot.
