It's great to read a story inspired by one of my paintings! Before I realized as a teenager that I want to paint, I wanted to become a sci-fi illustrator, to visualize stories like yours! Thank you!

Glad you liked it.
The "chineoids" are nanomachine or "nanites". Its the first thing I thought of seeing your painting, with walls of them converting crushed cities into more copies of themselves.
Fittingly apocalyptic.
Ok, like the "toner" in Neal Stephenson's The Dianomnd Age :-)
has your artwork ever been featured on a novel or something?
Yes, I did actually quite a few cover illustrations in the 2000s:
