surrealism

Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to fit the mafia into the world of my story. It's set around 1780s-ish, a little before French Revolution time. The vibe/aesthetic I want to go for is "if rococo and steampunk had a baby" with a touch of surrealism lol. So far, my ideas are this...
