More from ~Konayashi

The Manus Acts -a part- “Welcome to Center's Outer Ring, [Laura Andersen].” Pins cringed inside at the mechanical verbalization of her name. “It is necessary that you fulfill a quarantine period here before entering the city. Please use this opportunity to disinfect all objects intended for transport inside. A laundromat is located—”

Pins pulled her card from the slot before the machine could continue. She had heard the message enough to know the Ring's full layout by now, though she rarely explored much of it. It was an old message anyway—the laundromats had been moved some time ago. She climbed back into her deteriorating truck and
Sisyphus in the Waters San stepped lightly from platform to platform, concentrated on the water beneath them. Liquid opaqueness blocked the depths from sight, but it was well lit—probably storage. He looked up again. His classmates were platforms ahead, more eager to find their destination than to investigate such mundanities as storage units.

“Come on, San,” his wife, Balta, called back. San's eyes turned away from the still waters to see her, hair in little pigtails, arms crossed, waiting at the edge of a platform yards away from his.

Pages 41 and 42 of Heterochromia with the text removed.

Not the most detailed cityscape, but a good step forward, I think. Since I put so much work into this I decided to post the full work here (not that I don't for all the Heterochromia pages, but I don't want to comic-spam my gallery).

More on the process over at Kon Hayai.
