Soon. I promise.

Hello. So, I promised you pages, and they're coming, but not before the 23rd of June. I have exams coming up, so I won't have much time, but I'm basically ready to start.
I've also suffered a small setback. I recently cleared my computer accidentally (oh, come on, who hasn't?) and consequently lost a lot of files. Fortunately, I have hard copies of almost everything, so this isn't a total disaster.
Here's a little something to tide you over.
 
This is concept art for Sommia's street. (It isn't really that colour.) Because overpopulation is an issue in Sommia's world, most people live in enormous towers, called "complexes", which are linked together by bridges, and intricate train systems. Complexes house stores, houses, offices, hospitals, police stations--anything a city needs, really. Houses inside complexes are crammed close together, like a motel in our world, or a condominium or apartment building with doors for every home. Sommia's street also has small front porches. Personal automobiles are not used, because the many floors and levels of the cities would make them extremely inconvenient. Most people travel on foot, or use public transit. Police and medics have designated train cars, accessible only from police and medical stations, as well as designated elevators, and bicycles or small electric vehicles for short distances. They can be driven into elevators and trains.
