 World-building by visual artists

The Dinotopia project has considerable relevance to the OA scenario; we have a major empire in Cygnus (the Archosaurians) which includes lazurogened and provolved dinosaurs. The society in the Archosaurian Empire would presumably be more hi-tech than the Dinotopia worlds, but there is no reason why it would be any less decorative to look at.

Incidentally, I've noticed a curious coincidence;
here's one of James Gurney's magnificent illustrations of Dinotopia;

and here's a 18th century painting of a bridge in my home town

one wonders if he used that image as a reference...
