   I know Viktor Antonov was known for many things, but for me the biggest impact of his work was seeing the very distinct Eastern European environments of Half-Life 2 for the first time. At the time you just didn't see these kinds of things depicted realistically in major games. And with me being a fresh immigrant at the time, it felt special.

     @dosnostalgic A view from a rooftop shows a cityscape under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, the rooftop is covered with red tiles. Several brick chimneys and walls stand on the rooftop. In the background, various buildings of different heights and architectural styles are visible. Two blue spray paint cans are on the rooftop.

     The image shows a cityscape under a dark, cloudy sky. In the foreground, there is a street with a blue van and a rusted car parked along the side. Buildings of various sizes and architectural styles dominate the view. A building has a prominent "Petrol" sign on its roof. Two tall industrial chimneys with alternating red and white stripes are visible on the right. A bare tree is in the middle with overhead power lines. The overall tone is industrial and somewhat bleak.

     Here is an alt-text description for the image:
     A high-angle shot depicts a cityscape with a variety of buildings. In the foreground, a street runs alongside a building with a red roof. Adjacent to this is a cream-colored building with a rounded turret-like structure on one end. Further along the street are more buildings, some with yellow facades and others in neutral tones. In the background, taller buildings and structures, including a tower with a dome, are visible. Power lines crisscross the sky in the foreground.

     Here is an alt-text description of the image:
     The image shows a narrow, slightly downward-sloping street flanked by buildings on either side. The street is paved with gray stones and has a set of rails running along its length. On the right, a blue building with dark windows and a single light above a doorway stands close to the street. Two figures, silhouetted, stand near a low wall topped with a black railing that runs along the building's edge.

     On the left, a tall tree with bare branches partially obscures a yellow building in the distance. The sky is overcast, and the overall lighting suggests either early morning or late afternoon. The scene has a somewhat desolate and urban feel, with a mix of architectural styles and a muted color palette.
