What lies beyond the City Lights
9 hours, 10 minutes, and 13 seconds of work on just the cover piece :')
More about the AU under the cut
About their world:
They live in a technological city(think cyberpunk-esque) isolated from the world; no one comes in and no one gets out.
Citizens are led to believe that this is all there is to the world.
This planet has one supercontinent(like pangaea but not the same in shape and size + bigger). The city is relatively the size of the U.S.
They are all trapped led by multiple leaders(think of a co-regency).
About the AU:
Aventurine found out the government secrets about how there is a whole world outside of their city, and that the leader of the rebellion was originally used as a tool to keep the illusions surrounding the city in tact, among other things.
Extra: Halovians power illusions that make the city appear a certain way.
Caelus and Ratio are after Aventurine, kept in the dark about why, uncovering secrets along the way.
Sunday escaped and started a rebellion in order to save his sister and break down the system that preys on the weak.
Robin is still a singer, led to believe it's for a good cause.
The Stellaron Hunters are a separate organization, who aim to take down the current leaders to take the spot for themselves.
Aventurine isn't the only outlaw with government secrets.
Thank you for reading! I'll be posting more content for this AU soon enough, and they'll all be under my personal tag "what lies beyond the city lights." They'll likely be a combination of different things, like art, general discussion abt it, or drabbles of writing to build up more about it. It may include ship art, but since I am a multishipper most will unlikely be canon to the story(though this may be subject to change).
As a side note, I'll have my ask box open, and you can ask me questions about the AU! I'll try to respond to as many as possible, but keep in mind some questions may not be answered if I don't have an answer for them!
I hope y'all enjoy this AU, I have a lot of concept ideas and I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. See y'all in the next post!
