Looks more like cheap erotica for desperate straight teenage boys than any kind of fantasy art. Post-apocalyptic erotica could have been done so much better and with more imagination.
Also amazing how these women are in (strategically) torn clothing, surrounded by filth and decay, tied up,... yet they are always the only shiny and squeaky clean thing in the piece. And I say a thing and not a person on purpose here because the artist is definitely drawing women as objects. Those titanium creatures have more humanity in them.
I guess even in post-apocalyptic settings women still fart rainbows.

Has a whole sequence of Planet of the Apes paintings, some of which are particularly scene-grabbing. Grey over a greyer grey is particularly compelling, as are the desolation apparent in The Wait and Labyrinth II.
The writing for a few images from Julie E Czerneda's books really brought a lot of background description with them and enriched the paintings.

In questo libro più che in altri il maestro Royo ha raffigurato, oltre che figure femminili fantasy (suo cavallo di battaglia), anche diverse scene post-apocalittiche.

The beauty that Royo's drawings convey is impressive.

Not nearly his best, but still very nice.

Four Spectacular images and the rest is so so. Nonetheless, it is insightful and inspiring.
Recently tried copying one of the Labyrinth sketches... it did not go so well xD
