Description

Le serpent du train à grande vitesse réseau. Ils mangent les petites souris automobiles qui dégagent des gaz à effet de serre. Une souris automobile en moins, c'est moins de carbone dans l'atmosphère. Eh'em, please excuse my french (blame the translator...)

In normal language these are two TGV snakes, Atlantique and Thalys PBA TGV-R chilling at a depot. The train snakes eat little automobil metasaur mice that fart greenhouse gasses, one less car mouse to pollute the air. This painting was created with a mix of watercolor and Acrylic paint with a few touch ups with regular color pencil especially in the shadows.

Regarding the lore to Mechanical Biology/Alt.Realms.
In the early 2000s a group of French scientist at a university were experimenting with the newly discovered organic material called biometa a key distinction of the of the meta species their American counterparts had brought to France for further experiments with in the sprawling French biomech research programs. At this same time various corporations were using the new biometa material to create smaller car like creatures known as feta metasaurs that are marketed to the general public.
The scientist created the TGV snakes in cooperation with SNCF. the snakes grew to be much larger than intended almost to the size of their real train counterparts and left the University lab complex to a nearby train yard where some car metasaur mechs were being held on several freight cars being transferred across the country between labs. The train snakes ripped open the three train cars and let out the metasaurs to wander around the yard only to eat them in the course of several hours. During this incident a very startled railfan caught the train snakes as they devoured the "car mice" and shared his photos with the scientist who arrived at the scene several hours later. This accident allowed scientist to study how metasaurs chew and digest other metasaurs.
