Nice. This seems heavily inspired by Giovanni Batista Piranesi's "Carceri" (1750). I love these graphics. They're like a weird dreamworld. I saw some as a kid once and remembered them even decades later, but only thought they were from a remembered dream - until i saw them in a museum again. I hope this comic expands on them a bit.
It's a single art piece from what I can tell, altho I'd indeed love to see a whole BD in this style. Really, one of the biggest things I love about LC is when LC sort of hybridizes.
Cool, thanks for sharing this artist:

I really enjoy the restricted palette here, linework and composition are also very pleasing.
