    Of course the name of the artist isn't always available when finding cool images on the web so please add the artists names in comments if missing from someone elses post.

    Ancient Cenote City (SD+PS)[OC]

    Check my Instagram for more fantasy art and I'm open for comissions.

    My work is AI assisted, and uses a mixture of photoshop and stable diffusion and other tools occasionally. So i have great control over the results. Each piece i make takes me hours to days of work.
