Has the dune buggy in front stalled? Did it collide with the rhino? Has Radek gone for help . . . or is he somehow controlling the rhino? Perhaps Rodney is involved there, too? Both seem unconcerned (Rodney even chipper), so it does not feel that there is any real danger here. This art work with its (eerie for Atlantis) background raises a lot of questions.

Like others, I love the amount of detail and the touch of surreal with the rhino (hallucinations? LOL!), but what really got me was the sense of fun - okay, yes, dire circumstances going on yada yada but John expression is more about having fun driving bumper cars! Which is great, it makes it just corny enough to be an actual episode. :)

Great job!

This is so cool. Everyone is having such a good time in this rich and strange world. Beautiful.

Oh, I feel so bad for artists getting comments from me. /o\ I am artistically challenged and so I hope to just get across some of my ham-handed compliments because I don't know what to call anything.

I love the color in this, how the edges are black and it comes into brightness nearer the center. I love background landscape, too, and is that a jumper I see? Neat, I really like the mix of all the disparate elements - the rhinoceros, I think, is my favorite. Really neat, thank you!

It's cool how this echoes the desert landscape of future Atlantis in The Last Man. In that episode it was a strong visual symbol for a future gone wrong, but here everyone looks cheerful. :-)
